00:00Episode 2
00:01Tonight, we're going on a field trip!
00:04Tonight is a special to learn about Japan's traditional art that will move the world!
00:11I came here because I wanted to see this.
00:13It's the best in the world, right?
00:16It's really famous in my country, too.
00:20It's so beautiful.
00:22Right now, there is a very popular museum that people from all over the world visit in Japan.
00:30It's in Yasugishi, a small town in Shimane Prefecture.
00:34It's the Adachi Museum.
00:37It was ranked No. 1 in a magazine published in the U.S. for 21 years in a row.
00:44In addition, the guidebook of foreign tourists,
00:47Michelin Green Guide Japan, is also a top-rated art museum.
00:54What's so great about it?
00:55Here's the question.
00:57What is the goal of foreign tourists who visit the Adachi Museum from all over the world?
01:04A. Nihon Teien
01:06B. Giant Buddha
01:09Please write down your answer.
01:19Izumi, why did you choose A?
01:21Shimane is where my grandmother was from.
01:24Oh, really?
01:24I've always heard that Shimane has a lot of nature.
01:28So, I chose A.
01:30I see. So, it's not a museum, but a garden.
01:33By the way, has anyone ever been to the Adachi Museum?
01:37I was supposed to go this year, but I couldn't because I didn't have enough time.
01:42Oh, really?
01:44My American husband keeps asking me to go.
01:46I see.
01:48So, it's very popular with foreigners.
01:51What is the goal of foreign tourists who visit the Adachi Museum from all over the world?
01:57I came from France to see this view.
02:00It's a really beautiful Japanese garden.
02:03The answer is A. Nihon Teien.
02:07It's so big!
02:09The Tokyo Dome is 3.5 square meters.
02:11It's a large Japanese garden with about 50,000 pots.
02:15It's a view that the Adachi Museum is proud of in the world.
02:20The scenery of the snow from corner to corner
02:23has been selected as the No. 1 Japanese garden in the United States for 21 years in a row
02:27by an American expert who has investigated about 1,000 places.
02:33This time, it's a special to learn about Japanese traditional art
02:38that will impress foreign tourists who visit Japan.
02:41If you know about it, it will be very interesting.
02:44We will give you a quiz to learn from beautiful artworks and popular museums
02:48such as Japanese swords and pottery that have been in Japan for a long time.
02:57First, we will give you a quiz from the ultimate Japanese painting that the Adachi Museum is proud of.
03:03The Adachi Museum, which has the world's most esteemed Japanese garden,
03:07was opened in 1945.
03:10Inside the museum, there are about 2,000 pieces of artwork
03:15such as the Northern Prince of Los Angeles and Yokoyama Taikan.
03:19Among them, this is the one that many foreign tourists want to see.
03:27Wow!
03:29Looking at the window frame as a painting,
03:32the Japanese garden has a sense of presence that makes you think it's a painting.
03:38It's a living school.
03:40Inside the painting, of course, there is the real world.
03:43We will take a moment of the coming season.
03:47From spring to summer, when the green is in full bloom,
03:50and autumn, when the maple leaves are in full bloom.
03:52Wow!
03:56Winter, when the whole year is covered in snow.
04:00The scenery that changes naturally is a living painting.
04:04It shows us many expressions from season to season.
04:09In addition, there is a secret in the composition of the school.
04:15We placed a large cedar tree in front of it,
04:17and placed a tall black pine tree in the back of the garden.
04:22The perspective is further emphasized,
04:25so the garden is further drawn out.
04:29By placing a large object with an impact in front of it,
04:33the gaze goes to the scenery in the back,
04:35and the garden stands out more.
04:37This perspective method was adopted as a reference for the composition of the Japanese painting,
04:43and this method is often seen in Utagawa Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai's paintings.
04:51From the inside of the building,
04:53visitors can see the garden as if they were in a painting.
04:58Here, visitors cannot enter the Japanese garden.
05:02However, you can see more realistic works of art from the inside of the museum.
05:10Here is a question.
05:12In the Adachi Museum, there is another popular work of art.
05:17It is similar to a work of art,
05:20but please tell us the name of it.
05:22The hint is that you can see it in Tokonoma.
05:28As a result of the lottery,
05:30which pair will win the prize?
05:34Please write your answer, captains.
05:45Yanagihara.
05:46It's the size of a kakejiku.
05:49What kind of kakejiku is it?
05:53What a wonderful commentator!
05:55Toshi, you also wrote kakejiku.
05:57Well, this is a raw kakejiku,
06:00so I think you can see the official kakejiku.
06:03I'm looking forward to it.
06:05The second one is okay.
06:09Here is the popular landscape of the Adachi Museum.
06:14The correct answer is a raw kakejiku.
06:19Tokonoma has a window that looks like a kakejiku.
06:23From there, you can enjoy the beautiful Japanese garden.
06:28Depending on the season and the location,
06:31you can see a different view.
06:35It's a place with a great atmosphere.
06:38Also, the living kakejiku enjoying the garden
06:42can be found in the tea room of the museum.
06:45It's a place where foreign tourists are fascinated
06:49by the beautiful Japanese garden as a Japanese painting.
06:55Next, the question is about the surprising ingenuity of using the mountains.
07:01Various green colors were spread out.
07:04Especially, the green of the mountains and the green of the garden in the background
07:08matched beautifully.
07:10Kare-san Waterfall is lined with white sand and rocks
07:15that resemble steep mountains.
07:18Depending on the season, the garden shows various expressions.
07:22Originally, it was a completely different landscape from now.
07:27Originally, there was nothing around here.
07:30It was a place where rice fields were spread out.
07:33I decided to make a hill with fine grass there
07:37as if it were connected to the front.
07:40Originally, this land was a rice field.
07:43As you go further away, the garden was made higher.
07:48This is a traditional Japanese garden technique
07:51called shakke, which makes the boundary between the mountains and the nature in the back
07:55as if it were integrated with the garden.
08:03Originally, the garden is about 50 meters up to the fine grass,
08:09but by using the shakke, it produces a beautiful and vast landscape.
08:15Now, here is the question.
08:19In the Adachi Museum, in order to bring the landscape of the garden and the world of painting closer,
08:24they originally bought the mountains in the back, which were shakke,
08:27and devised a certain technique.
08:30What is that technique?
08:34A. Cutting. B. Waterfall.
08:49Why did you choose B?
08:51I thought it would be difficult to make a cut.
08:56I thought I could make a waterfall by digging.
09:01By digging?
09:02By digging, I mean, if I cut the river from that road.
09:10Who came up with that?
09:11It was Haseputer.
09:13What is Haseputer?
09:15Haseputer is a computer that is built into me and Hasegawa.
09:23It's fluffy.
09:27It's like waking up.
09:30It's too fluffy to be beaten so violently.
09:35What was artificially made in the mountains in the back?
09:39You can see the waterfall flowing in the mountains in the back.
09:44This is not a natural waterfall, but an artificial waterfall.
09:50In 1953, a 15-meter-high plan waterfall was built to bring the scenery of the garden closer to the world of painting.
10:00It was based on the motif of the Nachi waterfall in the famous work of Japanese painter Taikan Yokoyama.
10:08Moreover, the water of the waterfall seems to be flowing into the pond as it is,
10:14and it is designed to strengthen the connection between the mountain and the garden.
10:20By the way, the water of the waterfall is stopped once at the same time as the pavilion,
10:25and it is designed to flow again according to the pavilion the next morning.
10:30Next, we will hear from the craftsmen who support that beauty.
10:36It's still very clean.
10:39It looks simple, but I think there is a difficult craftsmanship.
10:44When I look at the garden, I think it's amazing to feel that professionalism.
10:51The most appreciated point of the Adachi Museum is the management technology that keeps the garden beautiful.
10:59It is praised as god management.
11:03However, the vast garden of 50,000 pots is actually supported by only seven gardeners.
11:12So this time, I got permission to look at the gardener's work.
11:19The beginning of the day is 7 a.m.
11:22All seven people enter the building and check the garden from the point of view of the customer.
11:28There are places where moss is growing and trees are growing.
11:32I look at the places I care about one by one.
11:35The landscape changes even with small changes, such as the discoloration of moss and the growth of branches in the Japanese garden.
11:42So we start working by looking for changes in the garden with seven people so that we can enjoy the best state at any time.
11:51There are about 60 kinds of trees in the garden, and the most eye-catching one is pine.
11:57Pine is a native tree of Japan and has a history of about 2,000 years.
12:02It is an indispensable presence in the Japanese garden.
12:06In order to keep such pine beautiful, there are about 800 important work of gardeners in this season.
12:15Red pine pruning
12:17Remove unnecessary branches and then prune the old leaves.
12:22In order to balance the entire pine tree, unnecessary branches are cut off with scissors.
12:28However, pine does not grow once the branches are cut off, so it is necessary to pay close attention to pruning.
12:40Next, the old leaves are picked up by hand one by one, but machines cannot distinguish them, so everything is done by hand.
12:50By continuing this work for 6 hours a day, you can show beautiful branches.
12:58Then here is the problem.
13:01If you look closely at the pine, it is planted diagonally for some reason.
13:08Now, which is the reason?
13:11A. To face the direction of the sun
13:15B. Originally to grow on the slope
13:18Now, A or B, which is it?
13:21Red pine pruning
13:31Red pine pruning
13:34What is the reason for planting red pine diagonally?
13:39A. To face the direction of the sun
13:43B. Originally to grow on the slope
13:46Everyone, please write down the answer.
13:56The answer is A. To face the direction of the sun
14:00I think it's important to look at it from the window, so I think it's important to look at it in the direction of the sun.
14:13Arita-san, B. To face the direction of the sun
14:20A. Originally to grow on the slope
14:26B. Originally to grow on the slope
14:29Green has 800 colors.
14:33Is there so much?
14:36There are no 800 colors of green.
14:38White is 200, black is 300, and the rest is indisputable.
14:42So it's not a lie that green is 800.
14:45I don't think so.
14:47I don't think so.
14:48I don't think so.
14:49I don't think so.
14:50I don't think so.
14:51I don't think so.
14:52I don't think so.
14:54What is the reason for planting red pine diagonally?
14:58Originally, it was a pine tree in the mountains, and it was in the mountains, so I planted it as it was to plant it without stress.
15:07So the correct answer is B.
15:09Originally to grow on the slope
15:14Many of the red pine trees seen in Adachi Museum were born and grown on the slopes of the mountains in Notohan, Ishikawa Prefecture.
15:22Therefore, it seems that if you plant it vertically on a flat land, it will not grow beautifully due to stress.
15:31Next, let's see how to maintain its beauty.
15:36The maintenance is amazing.
15:38I wonder how much effort is put into it.
15:42It's always a beautiful garden.
15:47The great thing about Adachi Museum is that it has never been closed for 54 years since its opening.
15:55In fact, we have a beautiful Japanese garden open 365 days a year.
16:03In other words, we don't have a maintenance period for maintenance.
16:09Therefore, not only do we do our daily work thoroughly, but we also have a secret technique unique to Adachi Museum.
16:20Because there is a place to go now, we can maintain this garden for 365 days.
16:27Then the question is
16:29Which is the essential place to maintain a beautiful Japanese garden for 365 days?
16:37A. Special fertilizer factory
16:40B. Plantation for replanting
16:44Five guests, please come in.
16:55Mr. Hasegawa, why did you choose A?
16:58I was told that it was a secret technique.
17:01So I chose A because I thought it was a special fertilizer.
17:06I thought it would grow beautifully without withering.
17:10Fertilizer is said to be the most important thing.
17:14Have you ever heard of that?
17:16I just thought of it.
17:17You haven't heard of it?
17:20I told you that it was a secret technique.
17:25Don't get angry with a small voice.
17:27That's the scariest thing.
17:29Don't get angry with a small voice.
17:32Izumi-chan, B.
17:33Because we do our daily work for 365 days a year.
17:36So if there is a tree that seems to wither or withers, it's no good.
17:42I think it's natural and nice.
17:47Here are the places you need to maintain a beautiful garden for 365 days.
17:55This is a fertilizer plant.
17:57It's a place to put stock trees.
17:59So the correct answer is B.
18:02B. Plantation for replanting
18:06When a garden tree grows too big or gets sick,
18:09we grow and stock about 400 pine trees in a place called a fertilizer field so that they can be replaced immediately.
18:17We look for a tree with a similar height, width, and shape and bring it to you.
18:24We choose and replant trees based on the height and width of the trunk so that they can respond to any condition of the tree.
18:32In addition, stock is prepared for each age, such as 15 years, 20 years, and 25 years,
18:38and the oldest pine tree is said to have been planted for 80 years.
18:45This thorough management is the reason why it is praised as the best garden in Japan for 21 consecutive years.
18:55Next, we will hear from a Japanese art museum that will move the world.
19:01The first question.
19:03This is introduced in the highest-ranking Mizuboshi.
19:07The exterior of the building is white and very impressive compared to other museums.
19:13The way it is displayed is unique and interesting, so I thought I would like to go there.
19:19A modern art museum in Toada City in the south of Aomori Prefecture.
19:25After opening in 2008, 10,000 visitors came in just four days.
19:32At Michelin Green Guide Japan,
19:34it is the best art museum in Japan that can be enjoyed by all ages.
19:45Its biggest feature is the exhibition room in the white box of 17.
19:50In addition, only one work is displayed in one box.
19:56Not only the exhibits, but the whole space has been set up like this so that it becomes one work.
20:04Then the question.
20:08Here is another reason why it is popular with foreigners.
20:12Which one is it?
20:15A. Exhibition of works all over the city.
20:19B. You can see the work production live.
20:23Why did you choose Mr. Yamazaki today?
20:25The last time was a commemorative session where I could do it with a gold medalist.
20:31Mr. Tsunoda?
20:33I want to fight seriously from this time.
20:35It's rude to Mr. Tsunoda.
20:37You may be watching.
20:38I was happy just by putting it next to me.
20:41I'm not happy just by putting it next to me this time.
20:44It's rude.
20:46I don't know if I was praised or humiliated.
20:48I want to win.
20:49I'm not praised.
20:50I want to win.
20:51Mr. Harita.
20:57Which one is popular with foreigners, A or B?
21:06Mr. Harita.
21:08A.
21:11Correct.
21:15Which one is popular with foreigners, A or B?
21:23The second question.
21:25Which one is popular with foreigners, A or B?
21:29I think the appearance of the museum is the most important.
21:33Especially, the wave-like design here is a good idea.
21:38The National Museum of Art is located in the city of Roppongi, which has an international food culture.
21:47The biggest feature of the museum is the building.
21:50The front of the building is covered with glass.
21:53The design is wavy like a big wave.
21:55At night, the light inside the building is flickering.
22:01The building itself is like a piece of light art.
22:05In Michelin Green Guide Japan, the building looks like a jewel that costs millions of dollars.
22:14In addition, there is a large exhibition space that is as wide as 14,000 square meters.
22:21In fact, it is unusual for a museum to hold an exhibition or a planning exhibition without a collection.
22:30Here is a question.
22:33The National Museum of Art has a feature because it does not have a collection.
22:39What is that feature?
22:42A. You can change the window of the exhibition room.
22:46B. The design changes depending on the project.
22:51The window...
22:55I should change the window.
22:58It's difficult.
23:00A.
23:02Correct.
23:07Do you like going to museums?
23:10I like going to cafes and eating cakes.
23:14It's a meal.
23:18The third question.
23:21I love nature.
23:23This museum is surrounded by nature and you can see cherry blossoms.
23:27It's the best museum.
23:30In the mountains south of Biwako, there is a quiet museum.
23:36The Miho Museum.
23:39The feature of this museum is that the world-renowned architect Iwo Munpei, who designed the glass pyramid in the Louvre Museum, designed the entire museum.
23:50His particularity has received great support from foreigners.
23:55The first feature is the building.
23:58Approximately 80% of the architecture is located in the basement.
24:02It is a building that takes care of the natural scenery around it.
24:08The second feature is the cherry blossom path, which is made with the image of the Tohgen Bridge.
24:15In spring, about 100 cherry blossoms bloom.
24:20And the third feature is this tunnel at the end of the path.
24:25This is extremely popular with foreigners who visit.
24:31Here's the question.
24:34The reason why this tunnel is so popular is that there is a special design inside.
24:39But which design is it?
24:43A. The path changes depending on the season.
24:47B. The color changes depending on the season.
24:50Which one is it?
24:52The color changes...
24:56A.
25:04The color changes depending on the season.
25:07So he put a stainless steel plate on the inner wall of the tunnel.
25:10The green of the mountains and the color of the cherry blossoms reflect on the inner wall.
25:15This is how it becomes a museum of the world-renowned architect Iwo Munpei.
25:22The fourth question.
25:24This museum is a place where you can touch and experience works of art.
25:29I think the best feature is that both adults and children can enjoy it.
25:36It opened in 2004 in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
25:40It became a popular museum in a blink of an eye, and now about 2 million people visit it every year.
25:46Kanazawa 21st Century Museum.
25:50One of its features is that you can experience and observe works of art.
25:55For example, this swimming pool.
25:58Looking from above, it looks like there are people at the bottom of the pool.
26:03It was made by an Argentinian artist.
26:08Furthermore, this is one of the works of the sky that was cut off.
26:13Blue Planet Sky.
26:15Here is the question.
26:18In this work, there are 12 tsutsus that look like rappers.
26:24You can enjoy them by experiencing them yourself.
26:30Then, what are the features?
26:33A. You can listen to music.
26:35B. You can have a conversation.
26:37Next, Ujiyana.
26:40If you listen to music, it sounds normal.
26:47B.
26:49Correct.
26:53Do you often go to museums?
26:56No, I'm not good at art.
27:00I see.
27:01I don't have the knowledge, but I can go to Kyoto University.
27:06What do you think about the sensitivity?
27:09I'm not good at sensitivity.
27:14You are a victim of academic society.
27:18Next, the fifth question.
27:20I was able to observe works of art before I entered the building at Ueno Park.
27:28It is registered as a World Heritage Site.
27:31When I came to Japan, I definitely wanted to go there.
27:36The National Western Museum is located in Ueno Park, Taito Ward, Tokyo.
27:43The attraction of being registered as a World Heritage Site is the architecture of the museum.
27:50The building, which was completed in 1959,
27:53was designed by the architect Le Corbusier,
27:56who is also known as the founder of modern architecture.
28:01With his buildings in six countries, such as France and Germany,
28:06the National Western Museum was registered as a World Heritage Site in 2016.
28:12Here is the question.
28:15The National Western Museum has a large collection of works of art
28:20of the Northern style, such as Rodin's Thinking Man and Monet's Water Lily.
28:24As time goes by, the collection of works of art increases.
28:30Therefore, the architect Le Corbusier devised a plan for the building
28:34so that the collection of works of art could be used.
28:38What is the plan?
28:42A. The building can be expanded.
28:45B. The building can be moved.
28:55A. The building can be expanded.
28:58Correct!
29:03The building starts from the center of the building
29:06and goes around in a spiral.
29:09With the expansion of the collection of works of art,
29:12the exhibition room can be expanded to the outside.
29:18Do you go to museums?
29:20Yes, I did.
29:22I went to the Kanazawa Museum in the 21st century.
29:25You did?
29:26I went there alone, so I couldn't talk to anyone.
29:31You don't have any friends.
29:33That's right.
29:34I was alone at that time.
29:36You didn't have any friends.
29:38Next, we visit the Japanese sword,
29:41which is now very popular among foreign tourists
29:44because it is exhibited in various Japanese museums.
29:48I fell in love with the sword because of Japanese animation.
29:51Its unique shape and design are beautiful.
29:56Japanese animation has been booming all over the world in recent years.
30:00Foreigners who became fans of Japanese sword
30:03were fascinated by the Japanese sword,
30:06so they came to Japan to see it.
30:08Many people come to see the Japanese sword,
30:11which is exhibited in various Japanese museums.
30:16Among them are the famous swords
30:19owned by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Ishida Mitsunari,
30:22called Hyuga Masamune,
30:24and Sanchomou,
30:26which was bought by Mr. Setouchi in Okayama
30:29and is loved by Japanese people.
30:34Now, we will have a quiz to learn about the Japanese sword,
30:38which is very popular among foreigners.
30:43In the past, it was a weapon used by samurai in real battle,
30:47but now it is valuable as a work of art.
30:51I especially like the blade of the sword.
30:55It is very beautiful.
30:59Currently, there are 122 Japanese swords
31:02out of 254 craftsmen in Japan.
31:07Not only the history,
31:09but also the beauty of the Japanese sword
31:11is highly valued in the world.
31:14The symbol of its beauty is the blade.
31:19Because of the white wave-like pattern
31:21drawn on the surface of the blade,
31:24it is a Japanese-specific craftsmanship
31:27unique to the Japanese sword.
31:31The pattern is a one-pointed object without the same thing.
31:35When you look at the blade,
31:37it is said that you can see the era and production location of the sword,
31:41and foreigners love it
31:43because they can enjoy the individuality of the craftsman.
31:47Now, we will have a quiz.
31:50It is also said that the value of the Japanese sword
31:52is determined by the blade.
31:54The most important process of making a sword is the firing.
31:58Before heating in the fire,
32:00the blade is born by applying something on the sword.
32:03But what is that something?
32:08What is it?
32:10Is it oil?
32:13What?
32:17Oh, I'm sorry.
32:18Is it oil?
32:20To make the pattern,
32:22the craftsman is applying something on the sword.
32:25Yes, it is clay.
32:28So the correct answer is A, clay.
32:32Clay?
32:33The pattern is born by applying a special clay
32:36called Yaki-ba-tsuchi on the surface of the blade.
32:41This is clay.
32:42To make it easier for the heat to pass through the place where you want to make the pattern,
32:46apply a thin layer of clay
32:48and apply a thick layer of clay on other parts to make it easier for the heat to pass through.
32:52By doing so, when it is baked,
32:54the pattern will be like a wave
32:56and it will be a beautiful pattern.
33:00The place and the way to apply the clay
33:02depends on the craftsmanship of the craftsman.
33:05It is also said to be the most careful process.
33:09Next, let's look at the secret of the beautiful curve of the sword,
33:13which is called Sori.
33:15Western swords are straight,
33:17but Japanese swords are curved.
33:19The most attractive feature of Japanese swords
33:22is that they add art to the weapons.
33:25Speaking of Japanese swords,
33:27unlike foreign swords,
33:29Japanese swords are characterized by a curved chest.
33:32This is called Sori.
33:35Not only is it beautiful,
33:37but it can be easily pulled out of the sheath,
33:39absorb the impact when it is cut,
33:42and it also has a functional aspect.
33:44How is Sori made?
33:49In the first place, the raw material of the sword
33:52is a piece of iron made by mixing a small amount of carbon in iron called Tamahagane.
33:58The swords heat this up and hit it.
34:01By repeating the heat and hitting,
34:04the impurities contained in the iron are removed
34:07to create a thin, long and hard shape of the sword.
34:12However, the sword at this time is not yet straight and curved.
34:18That's the problem.
34:20Sori is not made by hitting and bending a heated sword,
34:25but by doing something.
34:27But what is it that is done to make Sori?
34:32Salt?
34:34Salt?
34:42A!
34:44The best feature of a sword,
34:46the way to make Sori,
34:51is that the craftsman immediately puts the heated sword in water to cool it.
34:56So the correct answer is A,
34:58to cool it quickly.
35:02Once the sword is fired,
35:04it heats up to about 800 degrees.
35:07The heated sword is now soaked in about 25 degrees of water.
35:12Then the iron structure changes,
35:15and the blade part expands,
35:17and this Sori is born.
35:22Next, let's look at the secrets of beautiful carvings.
35:26Various types of carvings were carved in Toshin.
35:30The oldest carved sword is from the Asuka period.
35:34In the Asuka period, Shōtoku Taiji held the seven-star sword.
35:40With the wish of national security,
35:43the carvings of the seven stars of Hokuto,
35:46which is also the constellation that protects the polar star, are carved.
35:50Since the Heian period,
35:52it is said that Fudō Myōō,
35:54which was also the target of samurai,
35:57was carved in this way.
35:59It is the job of a carver to carve various types of carvings like this.
36:04He is a specialist in making Japanese swords,
36:07which are made with a lot of time and effort,
36:10into more attractive works of art.
36:13But there is a problem with such a carver's craftsmanship.
36:17This part on the side of the blade.
36:20It is carved like a long groove.
36:24This groove is called a hi,
36:27which is a part of the carving that makes the blade look beautiful.
36:30It also includes a practical purpose.
36:34So what is the purpose?
36:49The reason why a groove is carved in a sword is
36:52to reduce the weight of the blade.
36:56In actual combat,
36:58it is a great burden for samurai to use heavy swords.
37:03It is said that a groove is carved to reduce the weight of the blade
37:06while maintaining the strength of the Japanese sword.
37:12I was too shocked.
37:17Why did you do that?
37:21You are imitating Mori Shinichi.
37:26Next, let's look at the secret of the handle of the sword.
37:31Decorating a sword is an interesting idea.
37:35Especially this part of the handle is beautiful.
37:40The charm of the sword is not just the blade.
37:43When holding a sword,
37:45the craftsman was particular about the part of the handle
37:48that always touches the hand.
37:51The craftsman is called Tsukamaki-shi.
37:54He is in charge of decorating the handle of the sword.
37:58The handle plays an important role in operating the Japanese sword.
38:03The combination of the shape, color of the thread, and the way it is wound
38:07is infinite.
38:09The ease of use in actual combat
38:12is a craftsmanship that enhances the beauty of the sword.
38:16Then the question is,
38:18before winding the thread,
38:21the handle is wrapped in a certain animal's skin.
38:24Which animal's skin is used?
38:28A. Duck
38:30B. Duck A
38:34Do you know?
38:35B. Duck A
38:37Why are you so confident?
38:39My father is a swordsman.
38:42He often swings his sword around in the house.
38:45That's crazy.
38:47That's a crazy father.
38:49If I had a boyfriend, I would cut him with this.
38:54What is the skin of the animal that Tsukamaki-shi uses to wrap the handle?
39:00If you look closely, you can see the rough skin.
39:05This is the characteristic texture of the circle.
39:09So, B is the skin of the circle.
39:12The skin of the circle has fine grains.
39:15With those grains,
39:17when you hold the handle,
39:19you can firmly bite into it.
39:21This prevents the reinforcement of the handle
39:23and the shift of the kumihimo.
39:27In addition,
39:28between the kumihimo called Hisshime,
39:31it is fashionable at that time
39:33to make the skin of the circle look beautiful.
39:35It is said that the value changes with its good quality.
39:39Next, let's look at the decorations that make it look more beautiful.
39:45Not only the sword,
39:47but the decoration is particularly high in design.
39:50I thought it was great that it created a value as a work of art.
39:57On the Japanese island,
39:59there are many attractions as a work of art
40:01when carrying a sword.
40:06These are called Tosougu.
40:09They are used to guard the sword
40:11so that the blade does not get hurt.
40:13When you draw a sword,
40:15you protect your hand with your own blade.
40:18This is a representative of Tsuba.
40:21As time goes by,
40:23not only the functionality,
40:25but also the beauty of the decoration
40:27are added to the sword.
40:28Now, it is a popular secret.
40:32Let's start with the Tosougu.
40:34This is a Tosougu.
40:36This is called Kougai,
40:38which appeared in the middle of the Muromachi period.
40:41It was used by a man with a sword
40:43to do something.
40:46Which is it?
40:48A. Throw and attack.
40:51B. Bend the handle.
40:53It's a good question.
40:57What is it?
40:58Isn't it cowardly to bend and cut as you like?
41:00If you think about it, it's like a bend handle.
41:02But it has nothing to do with Japan.
41:04B.
41:05What was Kougai used for?
41:11It was used for the maintenance of the bend.
41:14Since the Muromachi period,
41:16samurai used Kougai as a tool
41:18to fix the bend
41:20or to scratch the head
41:22so that the bend would not be disturbed.
41:26Kougai was equipped with a sword.
41:29By the way,
41:30inside Kougai,
41:32there is an earpick on each side.
41:35It was a very useful tool
41:37for samurai to live.
41:40Next.
41:41Good evening. I'm Yoko Matsumaru.
41:43I'm at Tamachi Station.
41:45There are a lot of office buildings
41:47in front of the station.
41:49But if you go to the sea,
41:51there are a lot of tower mansions.
41:53In 1842,
41:55the Karasumori Station opened
41:57from Shinagawa Station
41:59to Tamachi Station
42:01at the same time.
42:03It is also known as the place
42:05where the stairs of Katsu Kaishu
42:07and Saigo Takamori,
42:09which led to the Edo Muketsu Hall
42:11in 1868,
42:13were built
42:15in the place where
42:17there used to be
42:19the Kurayashiki of Satsuma-han.
42:21I'm going to go to the station
42:23where I want to talk to someone.
42:25Actually, Tamachi Station
42:27is the place where
42:29something happened.
42:33This commemorative monument
42:35stands in front of the station.
42:37Here's the question.

43:27whether you can solve it or not.
43:29The correct answer is 58%.
43:31The correct answer is 58%.
43:33The correct answer is 58%.
43:35Currently,
43:37Abe and Ujihara
43:39are in the lead.
43:41Which pair will be the first
43:43to solve the riddle
43:45and escape?
43:47Which pair will be the first
43:49to solve the riddle
43:51and escape?
44:21I see.
44:23Amikawa got it right.
44:25Only Toshi is left.
44:27I have no idea.
44:29Oh, no.
44:35Oh, no.
44:37I'm doomed.
44:39First, look at the red arrow.
44:41This is the front of the stone wall.
44:43The blue arrow is the back of the stone wall.
44:45The blue arrow is the back of the stone wall.
44:47The blue arrow is the front of the stone wall.
44:49Then,
44:51Do you see the letters
44:53in the two black circles up there?
44:55Do you see the letters in the two black circles up there?
44:57The answer is
44:59Radio
45:01A radio broadcast was held
45:03in front of Tamachi station.
45:05This is the place
45:07where the first radio broadcast
45:09was broadcast
45:11on March 22, 1924.
45:13This is the place
45:15where the first radio broadcaster
45:17In 1925, the Tokyo Broadcasting Bureau held a radio broadcast at the Tokyo High School of Arts and Crafts,
45:23which is now the Chiba University Department of Engineering, as a temporary broadcasting station.
45:29Four months after the temporary broadcast, the broadcast station was completed at the Atagoyama Mountain in Minato-ku,
45:35and the main broadcast of the radio began.
45:37After that, it merged with the Nagoya Broadcasting Bureau and the Osaka Broadcasting Bureau,
45:41and it became the NHK, the Japanese Broadcasting Association.
45:49We are now at Nagisaba City in Chiba-Ura.
45:53Look at the number of boats.
45:55This used to be a fish market called Zakoba.
45:59The fishermen around here used to catch small fish along the Tokaido River,
46:04so the small shrimps caught here are called Shiba-Ebi.
46:08Let's move on to the second question.
46:10During the Meiji era, there was a huge ship on the coast of Chiba-Ura.
46:15The ship was called the Rosetta.
46:17It was a huge passenger ship built by the British in 1880.
46:21Actually, this huge Rosetta was used for something unexpected, but here's the question.
46:26Why was the Rosetta on the coast of Chiba-Ura?
46:30Here's a summer-time hint to solve the riddle.
46:33Now, it's up to you to solve the riddle!
46:36Here's the final question.
46:38Why was the Rosetta on the coast of Chiba-Ura?
46:43The correct answer is 28%.
46:46After the first question, Ujihara's pair is in the lead with a reversal.
46:50Abe's pair is in second place with a difference in IQ of 60.
46:53It's a close match.
46:55Who will win tonight?
46:58Ujihara's pair is correct.
47:00That was quick.
47:02Abe's pair is also correct.
47:04Thank you very much.
47:06Now, the score is 200 to 150.
47:09It's a one-two pair.
47:12It's up to Izumi-chan and Amika-san.
47:15Wait a minute.
47:16That was close.
47:17I was in a good position.
47:19Who's next?
47:21It's a close match.
47:23It's a close match.
47:25It's a close match.

47:35Yamazaki's pair is correct.
47:37Thank you very much.
47:39Taka's pair is correct.
47:43Arita's pair is correct.
47:47What is this?
47:50What is this?
47:57You can do it.
47:59You can do it.
48:01That was close.
48:03That was close.
48:06First, let's look at the numbers on the board.
48:13If you look at the vertical line,
48:15the yellow line has the same characters as the first two.
48:21The blue line has the same characters as the first two.
48:26If you look at the leftmost line,
48:28you can see the characters for the first two.
48:34The question should be the part where the ship is.
48:37The correct answer is hotel.
48:41The correct answer is hotel.
48:43The hotel was actually in Shibahama.
48:46It was moved to Shibahara Island.
48:48It was reborn as a hotel.
48:50This is the first hotel in Japan.
48:54The first pair is...
48:56Ujihara Izumi's pair.
49:05She managed to escape.
49:07That was close.
49:09I don't understand why Mori Izumi is so good.
49:17She's going to get her father's approval.
49:19She's going to get her father's approval.
