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."

May 16th is 'Tabi-no-hi' (旅の日 'Travel Day'), celebrating the day in 1689 that Matsuo Bashō (松尾芭蕉) set off on his epic journey across Japan.

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.

Japan's lunar lander has defied the odds to survive a third lunar night, surprising even its designers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/04/25/japan/science-health/japan-moon-lander-survives-third-lunar-night/ #japan #sciencehealth #jaxa #moon #space #slim

Ōsawa-no-ike was most probably dug some time from 814, when Emperor Saga (嵯峨天皇 786-842) began work on a sprawling palace that would act as his seat of power in retirement.

The pond was part of "Saga-in's" (離宮嵯峨院) vast garden, intended primarily as a boating lake.

🪷A TALE OF TWO PONDS🌕

Daikaku-ji (大覚寺) stands by the banks of Ōsawa-no-ike (大沢池), the oldest artificial pond in Japan.

With a diameter of about 1km, it is theorised that the pond was created for moon-viewing, which would make it the oldest moon-viewing spot in Kyōto.

Designed by the court painter Kose-no-Kanaoka (巨勢金岡) or possibly the artist Kudara-no-Kawanari (百済河成 782-853), the pond was inspired by Dongting Lake (洞庭湖) in China.

The entire gardens were landscaped to be enjoyed from boats on the pond.

In spite of its name, Nyan Nyan-ji is not a temple, and there are some very mixed reviews. That said, it seems fairly unique within the city!

One of the most frustrating things was the absence of the gallery's resident 'cat abbot' during my visit (apparently he was on a tour of Japan!?), surely the location's biggest draw.

On the way to Ōhara in north east Kyōto is a small art gallery and refreshment stop called 'Nyan Nyan-ji' (猫猫寺 'Meow Meow Temple').

It's very hard to put into words what this sort-of-shrine, sort-of-café, sort-of-shop, short-of-cats kind of place is like.
