00:00Today's traveller is this man.
00:06Good evening, I'm Naito Takashi.
00:08I'm currently walking on the Kiyomizu Hill.
00:12In Kyoto, this area is called Higashiyama.
00:17I'm from Osaka, but I came to Kyoto by Keihan train.
00:24I used to live in this area when I was a kid.
00:30I love this area so much that I decided to live here.
00:38I've been living here for 21 years.
00:43I've been walking around this area.
00:47This is my favorite place, Higashiyama.
00:50I walk here every day.
00:52There are a lot of things I don't know.
00:55I'm going to show you the places I didn't know,
01:01but also the places I love.
01:05Oh, I can see it.
01:07It's beautiful.
01:09I'm here.
01:10It's beautiful, isn't it?
01:12It's beautiful.
01:15The Kiyomizu Temple is one of the most visited temples in Kyoto.
01:25There are many wonderful places in the Kiyomizu Temple.
01:30In recent years, new things have been added to the temple.
01:37There's a great place.
01:39I'm sorry if I say too much.
01:44There's a place I couldn't do without me.
01:48I'm going to tell you at the end of the program.
01:53I'll say it again.
01:54I couldn't do it without me.
01:56I've never said it on TV, so I don't think many people know it.
02:00It's in the Kiyomizu Temple.
02:05This time, we're going on a trip around the Kiyomizu Temple and Higashiyama.
02:14This is where Detective Domon guards the temple.
02:18It's the Kaso prefecture.
02:21It's a popular TV series about historical people.
02:28It's amazing.
02:31I met a powerful dragon.
02:37It's a wind god.
02:44There's an unexpected theory in the Nadakai national treasure.
02:48I'm not worried.
02:50There's a theory that I made a mistake.
02:53It's hard.
02:55It's delicious.
03:00Naito recommends Kyoto gourmet.
03:05What is the true name of the Kiyomizu Temple?
03:10It looks like it's going to move.
03:19The name of Higashiyama that Naito wants to tell you.
03:24A trip to Kyoto that you don't know.
03:27A story of 1,200 years.
03:32The first thing that Naito will show us is...
03:38Last time, I introduced the location of the movie and TV location in the west of Sagano.
03:45This time, it's in Higashiyama.
03:48This time, it's in Higashiyama.
03:51I'd like to introduce you to the holy place of our old house in Higashiyama.
04:00The holy place is near the Heian Shrine from the Kiyomizu Temple.
04:08This time, it's Komiyoji.
04:11It says Kurotani.
04:14It's Kurotani.
04:16I'm shooting a lot of movies and TV dramas here.
04:22Excuse me, Mr. Kurotani.
04:26This time, Komiyoji is a shrine in Jodo Prefecture that was opened at the end of the Heian period.
04:34Basically, there are many times.
04:38There are many places to use up and down.
04:42In fact, I often come here.
04:46If you're a fan of mine, you'll know.
04:49If you've been watching my dramas, you've probably seen some of them.
04:54If you're a fan.
04:56I shoot in various places.
04:59I love Komiyoji.
05:01It's wonderful.
05:03Let's go up here.
05:05Tourists also go here.
05:08I can see it.
05:13Hey.
05:16Isn't it good?
05:18It's a time station. Look.
05:21This is a setting like a town in Edo.
05:25People are moving around.
05:28There are many places, such as Mitogomon, Heishiro Katsujinken, and Yozakura Osume.
05:36I'll stay here for about two hours.
05:39There are many places like that.
05:41I use modern technology.
05:43Let's go.
05:45For example, you can see Detective Domon guarding from here.
05:50She's a woman from Kaso prefecture.
05:55There is another memory related to another work on this staircase.
06:03There is a drama called Hannari Kikutaro.
06:10There is a scene where a woman goes up here.
06:15You can see the town from here.
06:18There is a scene where a woman goes up here.
06:22You can erase this.
06:24You can erase everything around you.
06:27Let's watch it again.
06:31You can erase everything around you.
06:34You can erase everything around you.
06:38Hannari Kikutaro.
06:40There are many titles like that.
06:43Thank you for letting me stay here.
06:48I've come here many times.
06:52I'd like to ask you why you let me stay here.
06:58Let's go to Miedo.
07:02There are many filming locations inside the building.
07:08This is Miedo.
07:12Please come in.
07:14It's wonderful.
07:18Please come in.
07:32It's wonderful.
07:38This is Miedo.
07:40There is a statue of Honen Shonin.
07:44This is Miedo.
07:47There is a movie called Shinsengumi by Toshiro Mifune.
07:54Shinsengumi is formed here.
07:59It's like a Japanese-Japanese ceremony.
08:04It's like a loan.
08:07It was a place where we could borrow a movie from that time.
08:13Yes, it was.
08:15What's next?
08:18I've borrowed this place many times.
08:22This is the corridor.
08:25This is Heishiro Katsujinken.
08:28He and I are enemies.
08:30We always meet in Miedo.
08:32We argue about what to do.
08:36This corridor is called Ohojo.
08:43There is a great place here.
08:46Yes, it's a historical place.
08:49Please come in.
08:51I've experienced it.
08:53Please come in.
08:56This is the room called Ekken no Ma.
09:02This is the room where Shinsengumi and Aizu Hanshu,
09:07the great master Matsudaira Katamori, met.
09:13In this room, Aizu Hanshu and Matsudaira Katamori met.
09:19This is the room of Kondo Isami and Hijikata Toshizora,
09:23who later became members of Shinsengumi.
09:27The topmost room is where Katamori and Aizu Hanshu met.
09:32And the bottommost room is where Kondo and Aizu Hanshu met.
09:36They were told to come in.
09:38They were told to come in and they could only go to the tatami room.
09:43At that time, when Katamori saw Kondo and Aizu Hanshu,
09:47he couldn't use the tatami room.
09:50That's why Shinsengumi didn't exist.
09:53You didn't film here, did you?
09:55No, we filmed here as well.
09:58Really?
09:59Yes, in the movie.
10:01We've heard a lot about this place.
10:04Is there a reason for that?
10:06You'll find out if we go there now.
10:10There's a reason.
10:14Why was Konkai-Komyoji chosen as a location?
10:20Let's go to a place where we can find out the reason.
10:25These are stone walls.
10:28I'll show you.
10:33Look.
10:35If you film here, you can film the whole of Edo Castle.
10:41This is a temple.
10:43Yes, it is.
10:44This is a temple.
10:45The walls are also made of stone.
10:48Yes, the bottom part is also stone.
10:52Why are there stone walls in the temple?
10:58When Ieyasu Kogu was in power,
11:03there was a secret council called Jingu-hare.
11:10It was to protect and attack.
11:13It was a war.
11:15Yes.
11:16Konkai-Komyoji was built as a fortress by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
11:25That's why it was used for filming many period dramas.
11:33There's one reason.
11:34Why is it here?
11:36We'll go to a place where we can find out the reason.
11:39I'll explain it to you.
11:43These three.
11:45If you go there, you'll find out.
11:49Why is Ieyasu Kogu here?
11:52Why did Ieyasu make this temple like a castle?
11:56These three gates.
11:58Can I go up now?
12:00Yes.
12:01Can I go up now?
12:03No, you can't.
12:04I can't?
12:05You can only go up to the 5th floor in spring and the 2nd floor in autumn.
12:09Is that so?
12:10Yes.
12:11Then I'll go up today.
12:12I'm sorry.
12:15Excuse me.
12:17It's really warm.
12:20It's quite...
12:22It's quite warm.
12:24It's about 45 degrees Celsius.
12:27It's quite...
12:42Be careful.
12:44Wow.
12:46It's nice.
12:51Are we heading south?
12:53Yes, we're heading south.
12:56You can see about three-fourths of Kyoto from here.
13:00I see.
13:01From here, you can see Naniwa Castle and Yoshoku Castle.
13:05You can see Osaka Castle.
13:07You can only see Abeno Harukas.
13:08That's right.
13:09You can see it now.
13:11You can see it now.
13:13You can see everything from Osaka to here.
13:16That's right.
13:18When Ieyasu became the shogun,
13:21the Toyotomi clan in Osaka still had power and couldn't let their guard down.
13:28From this small temple,
13:31you can see the army from Osaka as soon as possible.
13:37And the biggest reason why Ieyasu turned this place into a fortress is...
13:44We're on the west side now.
13:46That's right. We're on the west side.
13:48You can see Gosho from here.
13:50Oh, that's where we're going.
13:52It's necessary to use Gosho.
13:55I see. But all of this...
13:58Did Ieyasu come up with this idea?
14:02Yes, he did.
14:03So this is the best place to use it?
14:05Yes, it is.
14:06This time, Komiyoji is in the position where Gosho is desired.
14:13He realized that there was something suspicious going on in the court,
14:16and turned the temple into a fortress so that he could prepare for war.
14:23I found one clue.
14:25Every time I came here for a shoot,
14:28there were a lot of situations in Edo Castle.
14:32For example, there was a stone wall,
14:34and there was something like a bouquet.
14:36Ieyasu came up with a lot of ideas,
14:39and he made this place into a castle.
14:41I think that's why the wind in Edo Castle blows a little.
14:44I think it's thanks to Ieyasu that I can shoot a drama.
14:48Thank you very much.
14:49Today, we're going to visit Higashiyama.
14:52There are still many attractive places.
14:54Let's go.
14:58Next, let's go to Gion, a popular area in Higashiyama.
15:02It's beautiful.
15:08We're walking along the main road to the west.
15:12You can see the castle behind Yasaka.
15:17Higashiyama is right here.
15:21It's Kanamikoji.
15:22It's nice, isn't it?
15:25Let's go this way.
15:27There are some shops that I've been to, so I often come here.
15:31Let's go to the side.
15:35The atmosphere has changed.
15:40The alley looks like Kyoto.
15:45The reason why I'm around Kanamikoji is because there's a place I want to go.
15:50It's a sweet shop that everyone in Kyoto knows.
15:57I heard that they opened a shop in a different shape.
16:01I'd like to go there.
16:04Is it here?
16:06I think it's here.
16:09Everyone, you know this character, right?
16:12I heard that they opened a cafe, so I'd like to visit it.
16:18It says Zen Cafe.
16:20I think it's Zen of Kagezen.
16:22It's fashionable.
16:24Hello.
16:25Hello.
16:26Welcome.
16:27I'm glad you came.
16:29Please come in.
16:32It's fashionable.
16:36Excuse me.
16:40The one who produced this Zen Cafe is...
16:43Yoshifusa Kagezen.
16:45It's a sweet shop that everyone in Kyoto knows.
16:51Yoshifusa Kagezen is located in Shijo-dori, Gion.
16:56It's a sweet shop that has been in business for 300 years.
17:03It's famous for its kuzu-kiri and nerikiri, which are carefully made by skilled craftsmen.
17:13The cafe is run by such a sweet shop.
17:18Thank you for waiting.
17:22What is the taste of the popular menu?
17:27This is new and modern.
17:31What does it mean?
17:48The next day
17:52What does Takashi Naito want to tell us about Higashiyama?
17:57Yoshifusa Kagezen is a sweet shop that everyone in Kyoto knows.
18:05What is the surprising popular menu of the shop run by the owner of Kyogashi?
18:12Thank you for waiting.
18:14This is a sandwich and a cup of coffee.
18:17I've never seen this before.
18:20Is this also sold in the other shop?
18:22No, this is the only one.
18:24This is the original one.
18:26Is this a bite size?
18:28It might be a bit big.
18:37It's good.
18:40It's good.
18:42It's good.
18:44I can't express it in words.
18:46The sweetness of the strawberry is strong, so the cream is less sweet.
18:51It's good.
18:53We prepare it with strawberry in this season.
18:56We combine the sweetness and sourness of the strawberry with the cream.
19:03We also change the richness of the other fruits to match the sweetness and sourness.
19:11Kagezen is a place where you can eat traditional sweets.
19:17What do you think of this cafe?
19:24I think some people think that Japanese sweets are a little expensive.
19:29By combining these sweets with coffee, I want people to feel a little closer.
19:37I think that people value both old and new things.
19:42You like new things, don't you?
19:44I think so.
19:45You like new things, so I think that's why you like this place.
19:52I still feel that way.
19:58It's good.
20:01It's good.
20:04I'm Koji Hanami.
20:11There is a place in Japan that has a different atmosphere.
20:23I want to go there.
20:26I've been there many times.
20:28I've been inside.
20:30And I've been to a shop near here.
20:34But I've never seen this place.
20:39So I'd like to visit it today.
20:44Mr. Naito has a temple he wants to visit in Gion.
20:50I can see it.
20:52It's Kenninji.
20:54Why is there such a big temple in Gion?
20:59I don't know.
21:01People come here.
21:04But I've never thought about why it's here.
21:11As you can see, it's big.
21:14It's a big temple.
21:17Why is there such a big temple in Gion?
21:21I'd like to visit it.
21:23I'm Naito.
21:24I'm Asano from Kenninji.
21:26Nice to meet you.
21:27Nice to meet you, too.
21:29First of all, I often come to a shop near here.
21:33It's over there.
21:35It's big.
21:36That's right.
21:38Like Mr. Naito, even if you live in Kyoto,
21:42there are many people who have the impression that there is a big temple in Gion.
21:48First of all, what kind of temple is Kenninji?
21:52It's the first Zen temple built in Kyoto during the Kamakura period.
21:57Is that so?
21:58Yes.
21:59And there are a lot of things in the temple.
22:06I'd like to show you around.
22:08Yes, please.
22:09This way, please.
22:11Kenninji is the most historical Zen temple in Kyoto.
22:17Let's take a look at its highlights.
22:21Thank you for waiting.
22:23Yes, please.
22:24First of all, this is...
22:26This is a building called Kuri.
22:29First of all, let's talk about Zen Buddhism.
22:35That's right.
22:36That's what it is.
22:38Where should I stand?
22:40It doesn't matter where you stand.
22:42Let's go to the center.
22:43Okay.
22:45The garden of Karesansui.
22:47It's a large garden.
22:52This garden is filled with the desire to imagine.
22:58I think it's a good idea to sit down and take a good look.
23:02Can I sit here?
23:03You can sit here.
23:08I see.
23:18I enjoyed the tranquility of the garden for a while.
23:33When I stand here, I feel like I'm looking down.
23:37From this height, I can feel the vastness.
23:44I don't know if it's time or space.
23:48When I visit the garden, I look at the direction of the garden.
23:52When I look at the garden, I feel like I'm looking at my heart.
24:04What's beyond your heart is what you see.
24:07I see.
24:10We have something else to show you.
24:13Let's move on to the next place.
24:17They went to Hatto.
24:30Wow.
24:32Isn't that a dragon?
24:37I want to touch it.
24:42What appeared was the ceiling of a giant dragon.
24:48The first thing I want to ask is why it's a dragon.
24:52I see.
24:54The dragon is the guardian deity of the Buddha.
25:01I see.
25:03The Buddha is worshipped there.
25:06It's a five-storied statue in Kenrin-ji.
25:09It can be drawn like this to protect it.
25:14The dragon is a god who controls water.
25:18I see.
25:19As you can see, it's a wooden structure.
25:23What is it afraid of?
25:25It's a fire.
25:26That's right.
25:27The dragon is drawn like this to protect it from the fire.
25:35This painting was painted in 2002.
25:40It's a little over 20 years ago.
25:43Yes.
25:44It's been 800 years since Kenrin-ji was founded.
25:48I see.
25:49This painting was drawn at the Kenrin-ji Memorial Exhibition.
25:55Today, you can see the inside of the fence.
25:59There's a ceiling.
26:00Yes.
26:02Excuse me.
26:05Wow.
26:14Wow.
26:16This is the center.
26:17Yes.
26:18This is Aun.
26:19Yes.
26:20Aun.
26:22The size of this painting is about 180 tatami mats.
26:27That's amazing.
26:28180 tatami mats.
26:29Yes.
26:30It's about 54 tatami mats.
26:31Wow.
26:32By the way,
26:33did you draw it like this?
26:35No.
26:36Actually,
26:37there was an elementary school in Hokkaido that was abandoned.
26:41I borrowed the school and drew a god on the ground.
26:46I see.
26:47Yes.
26:50Junsaku Koizumi, a master of Japanese painting, helped him.
26:55He spent two years until the painting was completed.
27:00After the painting was completed,
27:02I couldn't carry it in this state.
27:04Of course.
27:05So I cut this painting into 36 pieces.
27:09I brought it here and put it together like a puzzle.
27:14Yes.
27:15Of course,
27:16I didn't know what to do next.
27:18Yes.
27:20This is amazing.
27:32I saw a wonderful painting.
27:34It's amazing.
27:36Actually,
27:37this painting was very eye-catching.
27:40There are still quite a few of them.
27:43Yes.
27:46Wow.
27:48Excuse me.
27:51Wow.
27:53This is a painting of a wind god and a thunder god.
27:56Yes.
27:57I've seen this painting in a picture before.
28:00This painting was drawn by Tawaraya Sotatsu about 400 years ago.
28:07I've seen it in a textbook.
28:09It's a well-written story.
28:11It's a well-written story.
28:13The wind god and the thunder god look like humans.
28:20But there is one part that humans can't imitate.
28:24Yes.
28:26There is a way not to bend.
28:28It's the same for the hands.
28:29Both of them are drawn as right hands.
28:32If you put your thumb outwards,
28:34This way.
28:35the palm and the fingertips should come out.
28:38But the palm is drawn like this.
28:41That means...
28:42It's like this.
28:43Yes.
28:44Then the thumb will come inwards.
28:50Why is that?
28:51There is a theory that when a painter draws a god,
28:56he feels sorry that he looks like a human.
29:01And there is another theory.
29:03The personality of Tawaraya Sotatsu was a mess.
29:09It was a failure.
29:11There is a theory that he made a mistake.
29:14But I think it's good.
29:16I think it's good.
29:18I think it's a good way to leave a reason.
29:22I feel like the artist has a mischievous mind.
29:29If you notice it, it's good.
29:31If you don't notice it, it's okay.
29:33There may be such a thing.
29:36I think there are still more.
29:38What I think all the time is this size.
29:41If you come to the south of Gion,
29:44there is a big place.
29:47There is a map that explains why.
29:50Why is it in the north?
29:52That's right.
29:54Why is there such a big temple in the middle of Gion?
29:59After this, the reason is clear.
30:02It's close, but I don't know much about it.
30:06Kyoto is such a place.
30:13The famous place in Higashiyama that Takashi Naito wants to teach.
30:18Why is there a vast Kenninji Temple in the gorgeous Gion?
30:23The answer is on this map.
30:31Is this an old map?
30:34This is the map of the early Edo period.
30:39It's the first time I've introduced it on TV like this.
30:44The land I got at the beginning of my visit is east of Kamogawa,
30:50north of Gojo.
30:52All?
30:55This is a map of the Kenninji Temple written at the beginning of the Edo period.
31:03This is the map of the time.
31:06The east and west are from Kamogawa to Yasaka Shrine.
31:10The north and south are from Gojo Street to Shijo Street.
31:18Compared to the current area,
31:21the Kenninji Temple used to be about ten times as large as it is now.
31:30This temple was destroyed by the Meiji era.
31:34It was transferred to the government.
31:37This is the Kamogawa area of the back of Gion.
31:43It is said that this is a very rich temple surrounded by Hanamachi.
31:51However, the Kenninji Temple was built first.
31:55The people of Gion bought the land and built Hanamachi there.
32:02I see.
32:05It was full of things I didn't know.
32:08I didn't know it was so close.
32:12Kyoto is such a place.
32:15But I'm very happy because I can remember it once I know it.
32:21After the Kenninji Temple, he went to the special place of Mr. Naito.
32:26I'm walking around Hiroshima.
32:30Before I show you what's in Kiyomizu Temple,
32:35I'm a little hungry.
32:37I'm a little far from Higashiyama.
32:39I'd like to show you what's in Chiekoin Street.
32:47I've been going there for about 20 years.
32:51My wife found it first.
32:54So I don't come alone.
32:57I always come with my wife.
32:59Well, this is it.
33:03This is Mr. Nikora.
33:05Hello.
33:07Thank you for coming.
33:13Nikora Soba, a soba restaurant in Chiekoin Street, north-west of Higashiyama.
33:23It's my first time to meet you.
33:25Are you a street vendor?
33:27Yes, I've been a street vendor for 90 years.
33:31What did you do before?
33:33I used to run a restaurant.
33:35It wasn't a restaurant.
33:37I bought it.
33:40I'd like to ask you a lot of things.
33:42I don't usually look at the menu.
33:44I'd like to ask you to do it as usual.
33:48Is that okay?
33:50Yes, please.
33:52It's not just a soba restaurant.
33:54It's a soba restaurant in front of a soba restaurant.
33:56There are many kinds of dishes.
33:58I enjoy them.
33:59This is my style.
34:04What is Mr. Nikora's favorite side dish in front of a soba restaurant?
34:11I'm sorry to ask you because I don't usually ask you.
34:16Is it okay to ask you today?
34:18Yes, please.
34:20Today's menu is boiled chicken ceviche.
34:25I made it with purple onions and celery.
34:28It looks beautiful.
34:30I'll try it.
34:34It's delicious.
34:37I can't get used to it.
34:39Please eat it as you like.
34:41It's delicious.
34:43In my case, I use sudachi juice and olive oil.
34:47This time, I used chicken.
34:50I used carpaccio in the middle.
34:53I made it with kelp.
34:55And I put cold kaburamushi under it.
34:59I'll try it.
35:02Carpaccio is delicious.
35:07I can taste the kelp.
35:11I can taste the umami.
35:13I can feel it in my nose.
35:16This is a mixture of fuki and mustard.
35:20This is a mixture of fuki and mustard.
35:25It's difficult to explain this.
35:28Please come to my restaurant.
35:30It's delicious.
35:33This is KYO-GA-MO.
35:36This is just baked.
35:38I put KYO-GA-MO sauce under it.
35:43I'll try it.
35:46This is delicious.
35:50This is baked.
35:52This is a mixture of meat and fat.

36:10This is 10% soba made by hand every morning.
36:16Thank you for waiting.
36:18This is beautiful.
36:21This is ZARU SOBA.
36:24Is the type of soba the same?
36:26That's right.
36:27This is 10% soba made by hand every morning.
36:30This is a mixture of meat and fat.
36:38That's all.
36:39Don't imagine it.
36:41Don't listen to me.
36:46I'm sorry.
36:51Please eat this.
36:53I don't have any comments.
36:55This is delicious.
36:57I think the food is the most delicious.
37:01I think the atmosphere of the restaurant is very important.
37:08I think so, too.
37:11Mr. MOJIKUNO, please come here.
37:16It's a great time to eat delicious food.
37:19I'm here to spend that time.
37:22This was delicious.
37:24This is the best.
37:29This was delicious.
37:30Excuse me.
37:33This is not just delicious.
37:35I feel comfortable here.
37:37I can't come here alone.
37:40I often come here with everyone.
37:42This is such a place.
37:43I will show you the Kiyomizu Temple that I have been pulling for a long time.
37:50Let's go.
37:54What is the Kiyomizu Temple that Mr. Naito, a local, wants to introduce?
38:02I can see it.
38:04Kiyomizu Temple is famous in Higashiyama.
38:10There are many things to see in this beautiful Kiyomizu Temple.
38:16There is a sacred place in it.
38:18It's a sacred place I'm involved in.
38:20Kiyomizu Temple, which has a history of 1,200 years.
38:24It is one of the most famous temples in Kyoto.
38:29It is said that there is a sacred place where Mr. Naito is involved.
38:37That's not it.
38:42This is different.
38:44Let's continue to Nihonmon.
38:46Let's see various things.
38:47There is a sacred place in it.
38:51It's a sacred place I'm involved in.
38:53Let's go.
38:54Great.
38:56It's nice.
39:01Let's go.
39:06Sanjyu-no-to has appeared.
39:11New name.
39:13Sanjyu-no-to.
39:17That's not it.
39:19This has been around for a long time.
39:21Let's go.
39:23Let's go to the place of Kiyomizu Temple.
39:28Okunoi.
39:30Sureshimasu.
39:37Kiyomizu Temple is here.
39:39Kondo.
39:40And stage.
39:42It's great.
39:44It has a round shape.
39:47It has a rich color.
39:49But it feels kind.
39:51I always think so.
39:53I came to a great place.
39:56The place I want to introduce is here.
40:01That's not it.
40:04That's not it.
40:09It's inside.
40:12Here.
40:14That's not it.
40:17After this, the sacred place will be revealed.
40:21It's great.
40:22It looks like it's going to move.
40:24That's not it.
40:29What is the new name of Kiyomizu Temple?
40:38There is a dragon in Kiyomizu Temple.
40:44Here.
40:46Come here.
40:49Shoun Seiryu.
40:53The dragon is protected.
40:55The place I want to show you is here.
41:01Shoun Seiryu statue.
41:04Two dragons are entwined with each other.
41:18Shoun Seiryu statue.
41:23It's great.
41:24It looks like it's going to move.
41:27It's full of vitality.
41:31It's strong.
41:32It's powerful.
41:34It's being stared at.
41:41Shoun Seiryu statue is next to the gate.
41:49It's a sacred place where many people take commemorative photos.
42:02What is the relationship between this statue and Mr. Naito?
42:09I love see-saw.
42:11I bought a lot of see-saw in Okinawa.
42:16One day, I saw a see-saw made by Mr. Mitsuo Arakaki.
42:26Mr. Mitsuo Arakaki is a see-saw craftsman who specializes in making see-saws and dragons.
42:31He is a representative of Okinawa.
42:37This is a coincidence.
42:40My manager and the chairman of the Monzenkai are acquaintances.
42:45The Monzenkai was established in Sando, Kiyomizu-dera.
42:50The chairman and Mr. Naito are acquaintances.
42:54The chairman liked the monzenkai.
42:57When I went to Okinawa, I went to Mr. Arakaki's workshop.
43:02I happened to make a dragon there.
43:07I started making dragons there.
43:11In 2015, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Monzenkai,
43:16a statue made by Mr. Arakaki was displayed in Kiyomizu-dera.
43:27There is a ceremony to put the soul into the statue.
43:31This is the ceremony.
43:33Everyone lined up to put the soul into the statue.
43:38It's not because I was there.
43:40Someone may have put the soul into the statue.
43:43But I think it's because people line up to put the soul into the statue.
43:47This is a temple that has been built for hundreds of years.
43:50There will be a temple here for hundreds of years.
43:54I'm glad that I can stay here forever.
43:59I will stay here forever.
44:08The journey of Mr. Arakaki's love to Kyoto and Higashiyama
44:24The journey of Mr. Arakaki's love to Kyoto and Higashiyama
44:35I introduced you to the wonderful Higashiyama where I live.
44:40Actually, I got to know a lot.
44:44There were only places I could walk from my house.
44:48But it's deeper than it's close.
44:51The history of Kyoto is amazing.
44:57I'm glad that I live in Higashiyama.
