"Let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, have you tasted the snack gift box I gave you yesterday?" Looking at Doma Mai and Narita Yuki, Yuyama Kazuto spoke.
Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but blink slightly. They felt that Yushan and others were talking about things that were not related to the topic.
Although they accepted the two gift boxes, they actually felt a thorn in their hearts and did not touch them after taking them to the room.
This morning, Narita Yuki deliberately did not mention what happened last night, but Yuyama Kazuto actually took the initiative to bring it up.
"I haven't opened it yet. I plan to open it when I return to Tokyo." After being lost in thought for a few seconds, Narita Yuki spoke.
"That's not necessary. Just keep the tea and take it back to Tokyo. The snack is quite delicious, and it comes in a small package, so you can put it in your pocket and eat a little when you feel hungry. It's quite good." Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but smile.
Listening to what Hayama Kazuto said, the expressions of Doma Mai and Narita Yuki became a little ugly.
Yushan Kazuto also noticed the change in their expressions. He seemed to realize that he had said a little too much and hurriedly said, "Let's have breakfast first."
Chapter 2520: Shitennoji Temple
Osaka is a relatively simple destination for school trips. After all, Osaka does not have as much significance in Japanese history as Kyoto and Nara.
Although it once briefly became the political center of Japan and Namba-kyo was built, most of the time, Namba-kyoto only existed as a secondary capital and was not considered a formal capital.
Therefore, there are actually not many ancient monuments left in Osaka, and most of them were built after Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan.
Moreover, most of Osaka’s historical sites were destroyed during World War II. What we can see today, whether it is the castle tower or the "Osaka Castle", were actually rebuilt later using reinforced concrete.
Therefore, Osaka has the fewest study tour destinations among the three cities in Kansai.
However, the optional projects in Osaka have the widest selection, after all, Osaka is now the largest city in Kansai.
After breakfast, we got on the bus. Many classmates were surprised to see Yushan Kazuto appear.
"Kazuto, did you come here last night, or did you rush back to the hotel this morning?" Looking at Kazuto Yushan sitting down, Miyauchi Mitsuka asked.
When riding on the bus last night, Miyauchi Mitsuka clearly remembered that Yushan Kazuto's seat was empty.
"I came here around nine o'clock last night." Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but smile and said.
"What did you do yesterday? Teacher Kirisu said someone asked for leave for you." After looking at Yushan Kazuto, Miyauchi Mitsuka couldn't help but ask.
Kirisu Madoka is not an easy person to talk to. Once, when Miyauchi Mitsuka was sick and asked for leave, Kirisu Madoka even made a video call to confirm.
As a result, Yushan Kazuto was able to get leave so easily, and during the school trip, which made Miyauchi Mitsuka feel a little unbelievable.
"My family has friends in Nara, so I went over to have dinner with them." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Gong Nei Guanghua couldn't help but blink slightly.
Although Hayama Kazuto spoke very casually, Miyauchi Mitsuka felt that the situation in Hayama Kazuto's friend's family must be unusual.
"So you were having a free meal with someone last night? I thought you were on a date with someone!" On the other side, Fujinomiya Ningzi walked onto the bus and couldn't help laughing.
"Don't talk nonsense! How can you make a date at someone else's house?" Hearing this, Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
When he was dating Kato Megumi, they wouldn't date at Kato Megumi's house!
"Maybe their house is bigger, so you can date them in the garden!" Fujinomiya Ningzi couldn't help but smile.
Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly. The area of the Yuming clan's land was indeed not small, but there was no garden designed.
The main reason is that there are many members of the Yuming clan now, and most of them live in the clan land. The buildings in the entire clan land are already very dense, and there is no space to build a garden.
Another reason is that there are actually gardens of the Yuming family around the clan land.
Like the Shanglin Garden in the Han Dynasty, the Yuming clan also built a garden around their land that combined viewing, entertainment and hunting, and named it Nayang Garden.
If Kazuto Yushan is willing to stay in the Yuming clan for a few more days, Yuming Xue will also take Kazuto Yushan to experience the life in Naoen.
You can go hunting on horseback, enjoy the moon at night, and when you have nothing to do, you can also take a nice soak in the Yuming family's private hot spring. It can be said to be a life like a god.
Because of the existence of Nao Garden, the need for the Yuming clan to build a garden within the clan territory has decreased.
Anyway, if you want to enjoy the flowers, just go to Nao Garden, which is not far from the clan land and is closer to nature.
Therefore, the garden within the clan’s territory seems somewhat dispensable.
"Your garden is quite big." After looking at Fujinomiya Ningzi, Yushan Kazuto shrugged and said.
"By the way, where's Kei? Why didn't she come with you?" After taking a look around Fujinomiya Ningzi, Yushan Kazuto was surprised that Kato Kei was not there.
The two of them always act together, so why is Kato Megumi not with Fujinomiya Ningzi today?
As soon as he finished speaking, Kato Megumi walked into the bus with a few bottles of drinks in her hands.
"Mei, good morning." Seeing Kato Megumi, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink and greeted her.
"Good morning, Kazuto." Kato Megumi nodded and sat down in her seat.
"Just now, Kazuto was asking, where did you go, Hui?" Miyauchi Mitsukawa couldn't help but ask from the side.
"Go buy a few cans of drinks!" Kato Megumi raised the can of drinks in her hand and gave one to each person.
"Why did you go buy drinks this morning?" Yushan Kazuto asked as he took the Sprite handed to him by Kato Megumi and pulled the pull ring open with a "snap".
"A little bit, I want to drink a little." Kato Megumi said slowly.
After saying that, Kato Megumi took a sip of the coffee in her hand. Although it was a bit bitter, the taste of the coffee was quite mellow.
Looking at Kato Megumi, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly. The other party didn't choose her favorite drink.
But after thinking about it, Yushan Kazuto felt that it was normal. After all, Kato Megumi usually drank all kinds of beverages. Maybe she just wanted to drink coffee on a whim today.
On the other side, Fujinomiya Ningzi blinked. She actually knew why Kato Megumi bought coffee this morning.
After all, it was because of the reason why I introduced Yu Mingxue to her last night.
Although Yu Mingxue
's existence would not prevent Kato Megumi from sleeping, but now it can be seen that it is true that Kato Megumi did not sleep well.
After thinking about it, Fujinomiya Ningzi also pulled the pull ring of the drink in her hand and took a sip.
Although she was a little sleepy, Kato Megumi was still very careful when choosing drinks.
The drink she chose for Fujinomiya Ningzi was a can of fresh milk, and it was not iced, but at room temperature.
Kato Megumi also observed Fujinomiya Ningzi carefully. Although she was not averse to beverages, most of the time she only drank a few fixed types.
"By the way, do you know where we are going today?" On the other side, Mitsuka Miyano took a sip of banana milk and couldn't help but speak.
"I'm not sure. The school didn't notify us in advance." Kato Megumi said.
"I guess we should go to Shitennoji." On the other side, Fujinomiya Ningzi said.
"Wasn't Shitennoji Temple rebuilt in the Showa era?" Upon hearing this, Miyano Mitsuka couldn't help but ask.
Miyano Mitsuka is not very interested in historical buildings like this kind of modern reconstruction.
"There's nothing we can do. It's hard to find decent ancient buildings in Osaka." On the other side, Yushan Kazuto shrugged and said.
Chapter 2521 Prince Shotoku and the Komoto Festival
Most of the ancient buildings in Osaka have been destroyed, demolished, and rebuilt many times.
Although the same is true for Kyoto and Nara, it is not as frequent and its historical significance is greater.
However, many of Osaka's ancient buildings are now of little more than cultural significance.
Among all the major buildings, the cultural significance of Shitennoji Temple can be said to be the most special one.
Shitennoji Temple was built under the personal supervision of Prince Shotoku and is probably the first temple in Japan. Its influence on Japanese Buddhism is profound.
To this day, Shitennoji Temple remains the head temple of the Japanese Buddhist sect and enjoys a high status among all Japanese temples.
Although the authenticity of Prince Shotoku's deeds cannot be verified and he has become a deified figure, there should be traces of the construction of Shitennoji Temple.
Because Shitennoji Temple was built under the supervision of Prince Shotoku, it has become the center of "Prince faith."
The Bingzi Jiaolin Sword and the Qixing Sword preserved in the temple are said to be the swords of Prince Shotoku and are now listed as national treasures of Japan.
However, the Bingzi Jiaolin Sword and the Seven-Star Sword are both models of Sui Dynasty swords, and they are likely gifts brought by Pei Shiqing when he visited Japan during the Sui Dynasty.
The Bingzi Jiaolin Sword was also interpreted as "Bingmaohuailin".
The character "bing" can be interpreted as "bingwu" according to the stems and branches. Wu means noon horse, and "mao" is the same as "zi", so Bingmao can also be interpreted as horse zi.
"Huai Lin" means "Minister", and "Bing Mao Huai Lin" together refers to "Minister Ma Zi".
The "Minister Umako" was the famous Japanese minister in the Asuka period - Soga Umako.
The era when the other party was active was similar to that of Prince Shotoku. Soga no Umako himself was Prince Shotoku's father-in-law, and Prince Shotoku also received a lot of support and help from the Soga clan.
According to modern research, many of Prince Shotoku's deeds may have originated from Soga no Umako.
Therefore, the Bingzi Jiaolin Sword might also be the one given to Soga no Umako by Pei Shiqing.
After all, Prince Shotoku is alone, so he doesn't need two swords, right?
As to whether Soga no Umako gave the sword to Prince Shotoku after receiving it, it is unknown.
In short, the Bingzi Jiaolin Sword and the Seven-Star Sword cannot escape the identity of the Sui sword.
As for the truth of history, more than a thousand years have passed, but people can only find it from a few words.
Perhaps Yuming knew the whole picture of history, but it was impossible for Yushan Kazuto to visit Yuming again for such a small matter.
And the greater possibility is that Yu Ming did not care about these trivial matters, and it is very likely that the family records would not mention this matter.
If that were the case, even if Yushan and others went to Yuming clan again, it would be in vain.
……
We took the bus all the way to the parking lot near Shitennoji Temple, then got off and walked towards Shitennoji Temple.
Walking into the gate of Shitennoji Temple and looking up to the left, you will see a school - Shitennoji High School.
Looking at the university in front of them and then at the surrounding environment, everyone couldn't help but feel out of place.
At the same time, many students at Shitennoji High School also noticed Toyosaki and his group.
In fact, there are not many pilgrims in Shitennoji Temple on ordinary days, so Shitennoji High School can operate normally and hold classes.
If Shitennoji Temple were as popular as Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto, the sheer number of people coming to worship every day would affect students' studies.
However, Shitennoji is usually very quiet, so Shitennoji High School can teach here.
Turning around, there were rows of book stalls in front of me, and a flag next to them that read - Aozora Daikoben Festival.
"Everyone can visit the Furumoto Festival first. This is a regular annual event at Shitennoji. There are many precious ancient books at the Furumoto Festival. If you like any, you can buy them." Standing at the front of the team, Kirisu Madoka said.
The Aozora Daikobon Festival is considered to be a relatively large second-hand book trading event in the Kansai region.
Of course, this is not comparable to the scale of the Aozora Old Book Festival in Tokyo. The Kansai book market has always been deserted, and only when the Aozora Old Book Festival is held will there be slightly more people.
However, the bleak book market does have some advantages, that is, the prices of these old books will be significantly more favorable.
The price of the same book in Tokyo is generally higher than that in Kansai.
"Do you want to go and take a look?" Standing next to Yushan Kazuto, Kato Megumi couldn't help but ask.
"Well, let's go for a walk." Yushan Heren nodded and walked into the book market.
There are indeed quite a few books in the Ancient Books Festival, but most of them cannot even be considered "rare books" but can only be considered second-hand books that are not properly preserved.
After seeing the collection of Mr. Yuming yesterday, Yushan Kazuto felt a little disdainful of the books at the Ancient Book Festival.
Moreover, there are many rare ancient books in Hayama Kazuto's own library, and the overall quality is much better than the books in the Ancient Book Festival.
However, this situation is normal. After all, most of the merchants in the Fubuki Festival are engaged in second-hand book business, and most of the store owners are elderly.
For example, those second-hand bookstores that have been open for decades generally look messy.
This is due to business reasons and also due to years of habit.
Most of the books in the store are very cheap, but not valuable enough for people to keep them properly.
"Waruto, tell me, why are these ancient book festivals named Aozora?" While walking in the book market, Fujinomiya Ningzi suddenly spoke.
"It probably means that the weather is clear and sunny, so we can hold an open-air ancient book fair." Yushan Kazuto said.
In fact, most of the Komoto festivals are held in autumn, when the weather is clear and cool. It is not an exaggeration to call this time the "blue sky".
Ancient books are already quite old. If it rains or something like that, it would be difficult to rescue them.
Therefore, such an open-air trade fair for ancient books should naturally be held when the possibility of rainfall is less likely. The use of "blue sky" as a name also expresses a hope for clear weather.
