☆Japanese World Heritage Site☆


There are many World Heritage Sites in Japan. I look up two temples in it. There are in Kyoto. In Kyoto, there are many famous World Heritage Sites except that two places.

Kiyomizudera
Kiyomizudera’s main temple is World Heritage Site. In 1633, Tokugawa Iemitsu made contributions to the temple and it was built by that. It also is called “Kiyomizu no butai”. Butai is built without nails. That structure is called “Kakezukuri”or “Butaizukuri”. This is held by the pillar of zelkova.

Kinkakuji
This temple’s formal name is Rokuonnji and this was built by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Kinkakuji is famous for Shariden. This was burned in 1950, but it was restored in 1955. This is a three- story building and two floor and three floor are covered gold leaves. Therefore Shariden is so beautiful and very famous place.There is Gingasen behind Kinkaku. That is conveyed that Yoshimitsu used this water to make the tea. And now, clear water spring from there.

Laughter

Laughter prevents senility and disorder of brain. Laughter activates brain. More it is well supply of oxygen and nutrition which need to brain, more brisk operation of brain cell. As a result, it prevents that.


I think “Full House” is interesting because this story‘s character have personality, and each character’s line is interesting. This is home comedy. But it isn’t only interesting but emotional. In San Francisco, there is a family whose name is Tanner. This family is formed 9person, father, 3 sisters, father’s brother-in-law and his wife and his twin brothers, and father’s best friend. So they are very big family and strange family. While sisters happen many things, their father (Danny) who was died his wife of accident raises his sisters with his brother-in-law (Jesse) and his best friend (Joey). And Michelle who is the youngest of three sisters is very cute.
