Topic: 1185 Nikko

	Japanese art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term Heian period refers to the years between 794 and 1185, when the Kamakura shogunate was established at the end of the Genpei War.
		The period is further divided into the early Heian and the late Heian, or Fujiwara era, the pivotal date being 894, the year imperial embassies to China were officially discontinued.
		In the ceramics of the prehistoric periods, for example, exuberance was followed by disciplined and refined artistry.

	Soka Gakkai Dictionary of Buddhism
		Nikko, who was later to become Nichiren's successor, had originally entered the priesthood at Shijuku-in and studied there.
		In the course of his propagation efforts in the Fuji area in the 1270s, Nikko often visited the temple, and he converted several of its young priests including Nichiji, Kenshu, and Shoken.
		Shortly before the Atsuhara Persecution, Gon'yo expelled Nikko, Kenshu, Shoken, and Nichiji from the temple, asserting that they were preaching erroneous teachings.

		Arriving in Nikko we can appreciate the unique countryside that makes Japan such a fabulous destination.
		Nikko has been a sacred site since the middle of the 8th Century and the shrines and temples dotted throughout the area are inspiring evidence of this.
		This former capital (1185 - 1333 AD) with a history of over 3000 years was the center of Japanese culture around 900 years ago.

	Kannon Bodhisattva - Goddess of Mercy, One Who Hears Prayers of the World - Japanese Buddhism Photo Dictionary
		The deities Amida, Kannon, and Jizo became extremely popular during the Kamakura Period (1185 - 1333 AD), and today remain the bedrock of Buddhism for the common folk.
		Kannon is sometimes attended by Nikko and Gakko Bosatsu as well.
		According to the Meditation Sutra (kammuryoju-kyo), the Kannon Bodhisattva, together with Seishi Bodhisattva, accompanies Amida Buddha and welcomes people who recite the name of the Buddha at the time of their deaths.

	Imagining Japan: INTRODUCTION
		What served to legitimate the new Tokugawa regime, and what was uppermost in the minds of the early shoguns and their closest advisors, was not ideas, but ritual.
		The Nikko cult was not intended to appeal to the general populace, though in late Tokugawa times it did attract commoner worshipers.
		Ooms argues that the intention was to establish a parallel triangle of Nikko, Edo, and the Tokugawa house to the triangle of Ise, Kyoto, and the imperial house.

	Robin Beck: May 2006 Archives
		He wrote, "Nikko Shonin admonished the elder priests who removed kana and burned some originals, because they did not think kana was respectable enough.
		From 1285-1289, Nikko revolted against the terms of Nissho's settlement with the Hojo Regency of the Kamakura Shogunate.
		IMO, SGI's attachment to Taisekiji dogma, especially Nikko as Sole Heir; and the baggage that entails, disorts the intention of Nichiren's Practice, which is "Kanjin".

	Asteroids
		The discrepancies between individual curve features is probably due to the different angles through which the asteroid is being viewed.
		This matters because significant time elapsed between each viewing of Nikko, allowing the asteroid to move considerable distance with respect to the earth.
		Comments: To this day these light curves confuse me. The time interval of each graph is the same, yet the variations seen on the second night seems to be more rapid than on the first.

		The scenes depicted on these tsuba took place during the naval battle of the Bay of Katsuura in February 1185.
		Yoichi Munetaka, a Genji samurai of Nikko and an expert archer, was ordered by his commander, Yoshitsune, to perform this difficult task.
		The particular importance of this fan, as far as I know, is that it bore the Mon of the Taira, and bringing it down would be a serious blow to the honor and morale of that clan.

	Cleveland Museum of Art - Nikko, the Sun Bodhisattva (Japan, Heian Period (794-1185))
		The Cleveland Museum of Art is temporarily closed for renovation and expansion.
		Identified by the disk at the base of the elaborately dressed hair, Nikko, the Sun Bodhisattva, is carved in a single-block technique (ichiboku) characteristic of early Japanese sculpture and distinct from the joined-block method (yosegi) developed later.
		The influence of Chinese Tang dynasty (ad 618-960) sculpture was widespread among Central and East Asian countries and is evident in Japanese sculpture from the late 700s and early 800s.

		Tochigi Prefecture adjoins the Tohoku area, but Nikko is a popular day trip from Tokyo (by express train) for many tourists, so I mention it here.
		Yes, there are lots of shrines and temples and little gardens that are nice to visit, and I hope you do get out and see some of them, but these are the only three not to miss.
		In 1185, the Minamoto clan finally defeated the Taira at Dan-no-ura, and Yoritomo Minamoto set up the first Shogunate in Kamakura, southwest of present-day Tokyo.

	Tokyo Things To Do - Travel Guides - VirtualTourist.com
		It's a smallish city on the coast noted in the annals of history as the capital of Japan from 1185 to 1333, hence the name of Japan's first samurai era, the Kamakura period.
		Kamakura is noted for its many temples and shrines (there are literally dozens of magnificent and well-situated shrines and temples), but most come to pay homage to the Great Buddha (or Daibutsu).
		Most importantly, however, your day trip to idyllic Kamakura should include an hour or two of simple, aimless wandering: many streets are edged by rows of towering cherry and Linden trees, among many other varieties...and the lush green hills that seem to surround you are heavenly.

		This contradicts the highly esteemed Shuso Gosenge Kiroku, "Record of the Passing of the Founder", by Nikko Shonin.
		This supports Nikko's claim, and the Taisekiji & SGI position, that Nissho & Nichiro violated the will, by removing the annotated Scrolls & Statue.
		They include “The Twenty-six Admonitions of Nikko” (Jpn Nikko-yuikai-okibumi), “Guidelines for Believers of the Fuji School by Nitcho” (Jpn Fuji-isseki-monto-zonchi-no-koto), and “On Refuting the Five Priests” (Jpn Gonin-shoha-sho) written in 1328 by Nichijun.
