Friends don't let friends use Duolingo. When it comes to Japanese, there are so many better ways to learn than giving money to a company that's firing its workers and replacing them with AI. Here's our roadmap for a cheap and effective Duolingo alternative.

💌KYŌTO'S CASANOVA❤️🔥

Takenaka-jinja (竹中稲荷神社) is a small but beautiful sub-shrine of Yoshida-jinja (吉田神社). Standing on the western summit of Yoshida-yama, the forlorn grounds betray the shrine's vibrant history of dashing poets, civil disorder and butterfly dances.

Most of the shrine records have been lost, but in other works there is mention of a vast, snaking tunnel of shrine gates leading from mountain base to the worship hall.

Although Narihira was buried at Jūrin-ji (十輪寺), part of his ashes were interred on Yoshida-yama (吉田山).

Ariwara was an expert poet, named as 1 of the 'Rokkasen' (六歌仙 '6 Immortals of Poetry') and 'Sanjūrokkasen' (三十六歌仙 '36 Immortals of Poetry').

He was even more famed for his love affairs with high profile women of the time. It's said he fathered Emperor Yōzei (陽成天皇).

on this auspicious day,
the divinity of Mt. Oshio at Ōhara,
will surely remember,
what happened long ago,
in the Age of the Gods
大原や 小塩の山も けふこそは 神代のことも 思ひ出づらめ

Stripped of his ranks for the affair, Ariwara disappeared from public life.

It might sound like 1970s decor, but researchers in Japan just launched the first wood-paneled satellite into space. Scientists at Kyoto University built the device to test the sustainability of timber as a renewable building material for space exploration projects. The satellite panels were made using a traditional technique without screws or glue. Read more from @BBCNews.

Philosopher Kohei Saito calls for a world where fewer things are produced to reduce carbon emissions, while his idea of a break with overconsumption and long working hours are resonating with those disillusioned with the status quo in Japan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/08/06/japan/japan-professor-capitalism-climate-change/ #japan #koheisaito #universityoftokyo #environment #climatechange #mountains

"The world's first wooden satellite has been built by Japanese researchers who said their tiny cuboid craft is scheduled to be carried into space off on a SpaceX rocket in September."

CBS News reports: "The creators expect the wooden material will burn up completely when the device re-enters the atmosphere -- potentially providing a way to avoid the creation of metal particles when a retired satellite returns to Earth."

Could snow trigger earthquakes? A new study in the journal Science Advances says thousands of quakes on Japan’s Noto Peninsula since 2020 could be linked to the region’s heavy snowfall, pointing to the weather correlating with “earthquake swarms.” While the study doesn’t say that climate directly causes the earthquakes, it suggests the rate of the seismic events could fluctuate depending on the weight of water on the surface and the movement of water below.
