Tavern III draakon

30.01.2024, Tallinn. Located under the 12th century Raekoda (Town Hall) building in the main square of Old Town Tallinn, Kolmas Draakon (or the Third Dragon) is a small medieval-themed tavern. This charming eatery with its beautiful-period interior is hosted daily by a group of petulant housekeepers whose job it is to entertain all-comers with their brusque and rude service manner. However, this is all purely theatrical a style that is closer to the behaviour that one would have received in the medieval ages. Photo Mihkel Maripuu, Postimees

A home in the cave,Dogashima Island

This is the cave just before Shiraito Falls after going up the mountain road behind Yakushi-do after crossing Hayakawa River from Dogashima. It is reported that the famous Buddhist monk Musokokushi (1275-1351, a Zen priest and probably the most important figure in Japanese medieval garden design) practiced religious austerities during Muromachi Period. An old man and young sisters are standing at the entrance of the cave and someone appears inside. Sandals are being dried on the rock and the bloom and pail are placed at the entrance. It is possible that they used the water from the falls.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐21‐0]

Autumn tints of Takinogawa, Oji

Oji Station is built over Shakujii River. In this area the river is called Otonashi River. The reason for this name is as follows. Toyoshima Gonnokami Kiyomitsu, a medieval feudal lord, hailed from Kishu (present-day Wakayama Prefecture) and thus established a shrine to Jakuichi Ouji Gongen (Kumano Gongen) that later became Oji Gongen. Consequently, this area was called Oji, and the river was named after the Otonashi River of Kishu. Upstream on the Otonashi River, Takinogawa Village gained fame for its autumn colours. Taken in the mid-Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐59‐0]
