<br />
Eindeutiger Bezug zu einer Jahreszeit durch Verwendung eines Jahreszeitenwortes (kigo)<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Um dieses Kriterium gab und gibt es immer wieder Dispute, nicht nur bei uns, sondern auch in Japan. Jedoch sollte man das Setzen des Jahreszeitenthemas als Chance und als Hilfe begreifen, nicht als Einschränkung. Die lyrische Kürzestform hat sich nur entwickeln können, weil die Bedingungen für Imagination und Assoziationen mit einem Wort, dem Thema, gesetzt waren. Erst das kigo, das kidai schafft den Freiraum für den Dichter, in den restlichen ca. 2 ½ Zeilen das wirklich Wichtige, das Bedeutende und vor allem, das Neue zu sagen.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Kurz gesagt: Die Kurzform braucht Konventionen.</b><a href="http://www.haiku.de/haiku2/navi/indexframe3_kriterien.html"><span style="font-size: 78%;">http://www.haiku.de/haiku2/navi/indexframe3_kriterien.html</span></a><br />

The <b>British Haiku Society</b> was founded in 1990.<br />
The BHS is pioneering the appreciation and writing of haiku in the UK, and has links also with similar organisations throughout the world.<br />
<br />
There are currently approx. 300 members, four-fifths of whom live in the UK.<br />
<br />
Members receive for their subscriptions the <b>Society journal, Blithe Spirit</b>, a newsletter called The Brief, a Members Address List, use of the Society's library (postal loans possible), various other occasional papers, and a vote at the AGM and biennial committee elections. Periodically members receive invitations to specially organised events, such as discussion groups, workshops and haiku walks, with a national conference held every year.<br />
<br />
Our efforts in the fields of literature and education were recognised in 1996 by a Japan Festival Award (second place in tandem with Sadlers Wells Opera) the first prize being won by the British Museum.<br />

When the writer feels that the time has come to cleanse the spirit, to cast off the burden from the complicated, theoretic and intellectual western aesthetics, then it is time for haiku.<br />
<br />
“Haiku is natural as breathing. Inhale-exhale. That is the time interval of one haiku. The time spent for one human sigh, the basic inborn reason and consequence for life. Once inhaled, the haiku requires a repetition, which results in poetical human sighs gathered in a collection of haiku songs, which is later recreated, with an intention to multiply the human sighs that wait to be sung”, Viktor Sikov states about the book.<br />
<br />
As Aleksandar Prokopiev says, each person, and especially the haiku poet, owns a device for reading of thoughts and feelings, although sometimes the haiku can be born even with closed eyes. “Nikola Madzirov, undoubtedly owns that gift. He is capable of selecting the situations and experiences that preserve their core in 17 syllables, seen with a natural and smart view”.<br />
<br />

The Swedish Haiku Society plans to organize the <b>Second European Haiku Conference </b>in the medieval town of Vadstena 8-10 June 2007.<br />

<br />
<b>Swedish Haiku</b><br />
Anders Österling's review of Asatoro Miyamori's A anthology of Haiku ancient and modern in the daily Svenska Dagbladet (1933) was probably the first broader Swedish presentation of the genre. Österling gave a vivid description of "the shortest poem of the world" where he confessed not being too familiar with the subject. He mentions how the Japanese sense of humour makes him feel unsure - it can be hard to tell the serious from the fun in a poem where "the smile is so fleeting and discreet".<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1959 the first edition of classical Japanese Haiku in Swedish translation appeared Haiku. Japansk miniatyrlyrik - thanks to the Romanian musician and translator Jan Vintilescu.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1961 the Swedish poet Bo Setterlind published a collection of short, haiku-inspired poems Några ord att fästa på siden. He was the first of several renown Swedish authors to show an active interest in haiku.<br />
<br />
<br />
The next collection of Swedish haiku though, was to be written by a diplomat: the UN: s Secretary General, Dag Hammarsköld. After the plane crash that killed him the in Kongo in 1961, one found a manuscript entitled Vägmärken that was published in 1963: a diary-form collection of notes, observations and haiku verses. (Auden's not too faithful translation entitled Markings appeared in 1964).<br />
<br />
<br />
Since japanologist Lars Vargö, editor of the Swedish Haiku Society's magazine Haiku, did publish Japansk haiku. Världens kortaste diktform, Swedish readers also have access to a comprehensive work that opens for a deeper understanding of what haiku really is about. Including translations of some three hundred modern Japanese haiku this book that appeared in 2003 not only introduces history and definitions, but also gives some clues to contemporary Japanese developments.<br />

</span></b><span style="color: #cc6600; font-size: medium;"><b>Explanation</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 78%;">- quote</span><br />
Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606), also known as <b>Guido Fawkes</b>, the name he adopted while fighting for the Spanish in the Low Countries, was a member of a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the <b>failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605.</b><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXyvDwRExpm8sqqxf5m84URshQATnBvzuOV8awirGDzqJr0QFFcY70Z0qMem16JEDHpcGT1jnOhd4Dx8y2-aw5HsuqZPA7mRVnd3o3h6KbDP3XCkPndvj7ntTU5aBiUpSZgtxM/s1600/guy+fawkes.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXyvDwRExpm8sqqxf5m84URshQATnBvzuOV8awirGDzqJr0QFFcY70Z0qMem16JEDHpcGT1jnOhd4Dx8y2-aw5HsuqZPA7mRVnd3o3h6KbDP3XCkPndvj7ntTU5aBiUpSZgtxM/s1600/guy+fawkes.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Fawkes was born and educated in York. His father died when Fawkes was eight years old, after which his mother married a recusant Catholic. Fawkes later converted to Catholicism and left for the continent, where he fought in the Eighty Years' War on the side of Catholic Spain against Protestant Dutch reformers. He travelled to Spain to seek support for a Catholic rebellion in England but was unsuccessful. He later met Thomas Wintour, with whom he returned to England.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>On 5 November 1605</b></span> Londoners were encouraged to celebrate the King's escape from assassination by lighting bonfires, "always provided that 'this testemonye of joy be carefull done without any danger or disorder'". An Act of Parliament designated each 5 November as a day of thanksgiving for "the joyful day of deliverance", and remained in force until 1859. Although he was only one of 13 conspirators, Fawkes is today the individual most associated with the failed Plot.<br />
<br />
In Britain, 5 November has variously been called <b>Guy Fawkes Night</b>, <b>Guy Fawkes Day</b>, Plot Night and Bonfire Night; the latter can be traced directly back to the original celebration of 5 November 1605. Bonfires were accompanied by fireworks from the 1650s onwards, and it became the custom to burn an effigy (usually the pope) after 1673, when the heir presumptive, James, Duke of York, made his conversion to Catholicism public.<br />
Effigies of other notable figures who have become targets for the public's ire, such as Paul Kruger and Margaret Thatcher, have also found their way onto the bonfires, although most modern effigies are of Fawkes. The "guy" is normally created by children, from old clothes, newspapers, and a mask.During the 19th century, "guy" came to mean an oddly dressed person, but in American English it lost any pejorative connotation, and was used to refer to any male person.<br />

The Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin on the Nerl River (Russian: Церковь Покрова на Нерли, Tserkov Pokrova na Nerli) is an Orthodox church and a symbol of medieval Russia.<br />
The church is situated at the confluence of Nerl and Klyazma Rivers in Bogolyubovo, Suzdalsky District, Vladimir Oblast, 13 km north-east of the ancient capital of Vladimir.<br />
<br />

The church was commissioned by Andrei Bogolyubsky. The exact construction date is unknown. According to some sources in the literature, it was built in 1165 to commemorate Andrei's slain son Izyaslav. But Izyaslav died in autumn 1165, and the church could not have been built before the winter.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Kitezh (Russian: Ки́теж)</span><br />
was a mythical city on the shores of the Svetloyar lake in the Voskresensky District of the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast in central Russia. It appears for the first time in "Kitezh Chronicle", an anonymous book from the late 18th century, believed to have originated among the Old believers.<br />

The legend has it that Georgy II, Grand Prince of Vladimir, first built the town of Maly Kitezh (Little Kitezh) on the Volga River (today's Krasny Kholm). It is sometimes erroneously identified with Gorodets, which was actually founded some 30 years before Georgy's birth in 1189. Later on, the prince crossed the rivers of Uzola, Sanda and Kerzhenets and found a beautiful spot on the shores of the Lake Svetloyar, where he decided to build the town of <b>Bolshoy Kitezh </b>(Big Kitezh). According to folk etymology, the name of the town came from the royal residence of Kideksha (near Suzdal), ransacked by the Mongols in 1237, while Max Vasmer labels the place-name as "obscure".<br />

The Solovetsky Islands are located in the White Sea in northwestern Russia, less than 100 miles from the arctic circle. The seascape's austere beauty and the islands' remote location appealed to two Russian Orthodox monks who founded a monastery there in the 15th century. <br />

In the past, Irish people heated their homes and cooked their food using turf taken from from the bog as fuel. Turf was cut from the bog by hand, using a two-sided spade called a <b>sleán</b>. <br />
Entire families often helped to save the turf on the bog.<br />

is a body of knowledge developed by Japan through its contacts with the Dutch enclave of <b>Dejima,</b> which allowed Japan to keep abreast of Western technology and medicine in the period when the country was closed to foreigners, 1641–1853, because of the Tokugawa shogunate’s policy of national isolation (<b>sakoku</b>).<br />
<br />
A meeting of Japan, China, and the West, Shiba Kōkan, late 18th century.Through Rangaku, Japan learned many aspects of the scientific and technological revolution occurring in Europe at that time, helping the country build up the beginnings of a theoretical and technological scientific base, which helps to explain Japan’s success in its radical and speedy modernization following the opening of the country to foreign trade in 1854.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Akita ranga (秋田蘭画),</span> <br />
also known as the <b>Akita-ha</b> (秋田派), <br />
was a short-lived school of painting within the larger Japanese genre of ranga, or Dutch-style painting which lasted roughly from 1773-1780. Based in the Akita feudal domain, it was headed by the domain's lord Satake Shozan and his retainer Odano Naotake. Though many ranga artists, most prominently Shiba Kōkan, produced works of European themes, the Akita painters for the most part painted traditional Japanese themes and compositions using Western-style techniques and an approximation of oil paints.<br />

Some of the chief features that distinguish Akita ranga from traditional Japanese painting are the inclusion of shadows, the use of perspective, reflections in water, and the use of blue for sky and sea. In addition, ranga artists left little or no blank space on a work, emulating Western art traditions and going against East Asian ones, and used oils and resins in addition to Japanese pigments to simulate the appearance of oil paint. Many of their works feature a large foreground subject which displays techniques in light and shadow, with a small, distant, landscape, displaying an understanding of perspective techniques.<br />
<br />
The school got its start when <b>rangaku </b>(Dutch studies) scholar <b>Hiraga Gennai</b> was invited to the domain, in the Tōhoku region of Honshū, to help advise the daimyō Satake Shozan on the management of the domain's copper mines.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Nanban art (南蛮美術) </span><br />
refers to Japanese art of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries influenced by contact with the Namban (南蛮) or 'Southern barbarians', traders and missionaries from Europe and specifically from Portugal. The term also refers to paintings Europeans brought to Japan.<br />
<br />
<b>Namban art</b> developed after the first Portuguese ships arrived in Kyushu in 1543. While Christian icons and other objects were produced, Namban byōbu (南蛮屏風) or folding screens are particularly notable. <br />

Artists of the Kanō school were joined by those of the Tosa school in combining foreign subject matter with Japanese styles of painting. Canons of western art of the period such as linear perspective and alternative materials and techniques appear to have had little lasting influence. The persecution and prohibition of Christianity from the end of the sixteenth century and the Tokugawa policy of sakoku that largely closed Japan to foreign contact from the 1630s saw the decline of Namban art.<br />

The Hollanders in the hokku refer to a procession of the Dutch consul and his attendants who came from Nagasaki to Edo to pay respects to the shogun in the spring. The hokku's first two phrases were borrowed from a well-known passage in the no play <i>Kurama Tengu</i>, which had in turn utilized a waka by Minamoto Yorimasa (1104-80):<br />

In 1674 Basho was inducted into the inner circle of the haikai profession, receiving secret teachings from Kitamura Kigin (1624–1705).<br />
He wrote this hokku in mock tribute to the Shogun:<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">Even the Captain of the Dutch Commercial Office<br />
arrived groveling<br />
at spring of shogun-king </span><br />
<br />
This haiku refers to the fact that only Dutch merchants as foreigners were permitted to stay in the office built up on the artificial islet named<b> Dejima in Nagasaki</b>. In return, every year they were obliged to make a voyage from Nagasaki to Edo to call on Tokugawa shogun-king to pay their official respects. Not knowing other Western foreigners, Basho regarded the Dutch merchants’ long processions as absolute subjection to his shogun-king. The cited haiku sings of peaceful prosperity that reigned in the capital Edo at the beginning of the year. <br />
The Japanese word “Kapitan” derived from a Portuguese word “Capitão” adds this haiku the novelty of Edo which had thus become slightly internationalized. The second line “tsukuba hase-keri” (arrived groveling) has a quite humorous nuance peculiar to the Danrin haiku school. Basho at this time in his career can be seen to be satisfied totally with Edo’s urbanism, moreover sympathized with it.<br />

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Dutch East India Company, also known as the VOC (short for Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, or United East India Company), played a key role in sustaining these links, in the process of building a network that covered almost the entire region.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Dejima (Japanese: 出島, "exit island")</b></span><br />
in old Western documents latinized as 'Decima', 'Desjima', 'Dezima', 'Disma', or 'Disima', was a small fan-shaped artificial island built in the bay of Nagasaki in 1634 by local merchants. This island, which was formed by digging a canal through a small peninsula, remained as the single place of direct trade and exchange between Japan and the outside world during the Edo period. Dejima was built to constrain foreign traders as part of sakoku, the self-imposed isolationist policy. Originally built to house Portuguese traders, it was used by the Dutch as a trading post from 1641 until 1853. Covering an area of 120 m × 75 m (9000 m2, or 0.9 hectares), it later was integrated into the city.<br />

In 1922, "Dejima Dutch Trading Post" was designated a Japanese national historic site.<br />

The shogun Iemitsu ordered the construction of the artificial island in 1634, to accommodate the Portuguese traders living in Nagasaki and prevent the propagation of their religion. But after an uprising of the predominantly Christian population in the Shimabara-Amakusa region, the Tokugawa government decided to expel all Western nationals except the Dutch employees of the <b>Dutch East India Company </b>(Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, VOC).<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">The Dutch East India Company </span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"United East India Company"</span><br />
was a chartered company established in 1602, when the States General of the Netherlands granted it a 21-year monopoly to carry out trade activities in Asia. It is often considered to have been the first multinational corporation in the world and it was the first company to issue stock. It was a powerful company, possessing quasi-governmental powers, including the ability to wage war, imprison and execute convicts, negotiate treaties, strike its own coins, and establish colonies.<br />
. . . VOC headquarters were located in Ambon during the tenures of the first three Governors General (1610–1619), but it was not a satisfactory location. Although it was at the centre of the spice production areas, it was far from the Asian trade routes and other VOC areas of activity ranging from Africa to India to <b>Japan</b>. <br />
. . . The VOC traded throughout Asia. Ships coming into Batavia from the Netherlands carried supplies for VOC settlements in Asia. Silver and <b>copper from Japan</b> were used to trade with India and China for silk, cotton, porcelain, and textiles. <br />
. . . The Company supported Christian missionaries and traded modern technology with China and Japan. A more <b>peaceful VOC trade post on Dejima</b>, an artificial island off the coast of Nagasaki, was for more than two hundred years the only place where Europeans were permitted to trade with Japan.<br />
. . . Around 1670, two events caused the growth of VOC trade to stall. In the first place, the highly profitable <b>trade with Japan started to decline</b>.<br />
. . . Though the VOC substituted Bengali for Chinese silk other forces affected the supply of Japanese silver and gold. The shogunate enacted a number of measures to limit the export of these precious metals, in the process limiting VOC opportunities for trade, and severely worsening the terms of trade. Therefore, <b>Japan ceased to function as the lynchpin</b> of the intra-Asiatic trade of the VOC by 1685.<br />
Statistically, the VOC eclipsed all of its rivals in the Asia trade.<br />

<br />
Every year from 16 to 22 September is European Mobility Week, a week in which the major cities of Europe try and encourage the ever greater diversity of transport. The aim is help motorists to choose more environmentally friendly ways of moving across the city and, increasingly also, to help cities plan their transport policy in such a way that sustainable transport can flourish.<br />
<br />
2012 was the eleventh year of the European Mobility Week. The movement has now expanded well beyond Europe, and in 2012 included 11 non EU Member States, some as far afield as Brazil, Canada, Japan and Taiwan. Altogether, 1983 cities participated (for more information, see <i>http://www.mobilityweek.eu</i>).<br />
<br />
The highlight of European Mobility Week is the Sunday within the week, which for participating cities has become the Carless Sunday. In 2012, this was 16 September.<br />
<br />
On this one Sunday of the year, the people of Brussels (where I have often spent the day) may not use their cars from 9.00 am to 7.00 pm. The only vehicles allowed on the road are public transport (providing their services free of charge on this day), taxis, ambulances, police and any citizens who absolutely need to use their cars and have acquired a permit from the authorities in good time beforehand. The police rigorously enforce the ban, and fines are heavy if cars are caught on the roads or if those allowed to drive exceed the special speed limit of 20 km/h.<br />

<i>So many cyclists on the rue de la Loi</i><br />
<br />
Carless Sunday is one of the best days of the year to be in Brussels. Everyone, young and old, are out and about with bicycles, scooters, skateboards, rollerskates, prams and whatever else. The weather seems to be fine each year, and people enjoy themselves outdoors for what may be the last time before the onset of autumn and winter. The streets are taken over by pedestrians and those using their own power to move. Activities are laid on for children and families all over the city, and many of these are organised or supervised by the police, who endear themselves to the public on this day and have an exhausting time.<br />
<br />
The noise level in the city is much reduced, and people enjoy the fresher air and the calm atmosphere. For many, it is one of the highlights of the year and a real family day.<br />

A Car Free Day encourages motorists to give up their car for a day. Organized events are held in some cities and countries.<br />

For the past few years, I have enjoyed writing haiku on carless Sunday. <br />
Here are some of them :<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">carless Sunday --<br />

of a baby crying --<br />

Under the plural form Sânziene, the word designates an annual festival in the fairies' honor. Etymologically, the name stands for sân (common abbreviation of sfânt - "saint", "holy") and zână (a word used for fairies in general). Another likely etymology is that the word comes from the Latin Sancta Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt and moon, also celebrated in Roman Dacia (ancient Romania). Diana was known to be the virgin goddess and looked after virgins and women. She was one of the three maiden goddesses, Diana, Minerva and Vesta, who swore never to marry.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubbTvMTMcAxsX11y3yZfbVDuBep6Q2dNCXCbPLR64dhxo7B165dLiusyq5mBEko5K2lvphXviKBAplHxYtkhEcd1dqE8m1zGQ3ohzoDWzcJxcB_HS0IPV1LVO3mVfPqzj8LCy/s1600/Galium_verum.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubbTvMTMcAxsX11y3yZfbVDuBep6Q2dNCXCbPLR64dhxo7B165dLiusyq5mBEko5K2lvphXviKBAplHxYtkhEcd1dqE8m1zGQ3ohzoDWzcJxcB_HS0IPV1LVO3mVfPqzj8LCy/s400/Galium_verum.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5759620620935774866" border="0" /></a><br /><br />People in the western Carpathian Mountains and other parts of Romania celebrate the Sânziene holiday annually, on <span style="font-weight: bold;">June 24.</span> This is similar to the Swedish Midsummer holiday, and is believed to be a pagan celebration of the summer solstice in June. According to the official position of the Romanian Orthodox Church, the customs actually relate to the celebration of Saint John the Baptist's Nativity, which also happens on June 24.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sânziene rituals</span><br />The folk practices of Sânziene imply that the most beautiful maidens in the village dress in white and spend all day searching for and picking Galium verum. They are instructed to remain alone and unseen, especially by any males. Using the flowers they picked during the day, the girls create wreaths as floral crowns which they wear upon returning to the village at nightfall. They are then supposed to have turned into sânziene fairies, and dance in circle around a bonfire, into which all remains of the previous harvest are thrown. People are prevented from speaking to the girls during this ceremony, as it is presumed that the sânziene spirits possessing them might otherwise be angered or distracted.<br /><br />In some regions, the girls may keep the wreaths until the following year's Sânziene. This, they believe, ensures a fertility for their family's land. In addition, if they place the wreath under their pillow the night right after Sânziene, it is possible that they would have a premonition of the man they are to marry (ursitul, "the fated one"). Another folk belief is that during the Sânziene night, the heavens open up, making it an adequate time for making wishes and for praying, as God is more likely to listen.<br /><br />In some areas of the Carpathians, the villagers then light a big wheel of hay from the ceremonial bonfire and push it down a hill. This has been interpreted as a symbol for the setting sun (from the solstice to come and until the midwinter solstice, the days will be getting shorter).<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A2nzian%C4%83"><span style="font-size:85%;">© More in the WIKIPEDIA !</span></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://www.google.co.jp/search?num=10&hl=ja&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&q=S%C3%A2nziene+rituals&oq=S%C3%A2nziene+rituals&gs_l=img.12...344.344.0.1265.1.1.0.0.0.0.78.78.1.1.0...0.0.IPrJwFi9AVc&biw=830&bih=816&sei=vUjuT5zVCYmViAeJnYn5DA"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 275px; height: 183px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9R4tRd83q22sl-Mv-i1Gf0_bUOetTxaPi_EtfjsLfJFWZsKUDCwP3WhHjnBTlNYSQ3PoRez5rGqHvKPmi-q_FxnOdy-7KVxPEzNi5m86K1Z5DwLHKsF-FHkNW7DdIBJnm8_8t/s400/sanziene+ritual+romania.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5759621117959315714" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">***************************** </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc6600;"><strong>Worldwide use</strong></span><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://worldkigodatabase.blogspot.jp/2006/11/winter-solstice-tooji.html"><span style="font-size:130%;">.

In this work I try to develop a voice of my own. Haiku is traditionally a nature-based poetry-form but has developed with the conditions of the modern world. Now it concerns itself with almost every aspect of human life. And luckily so.<br /><br />Some haijin (this is also the plural tense of the word) tend to insist on classical Japanese ways of writing, but many more are trying to take haiku to the 21st century. I'm one of them.<br />Haiku should reflect the reality of the haijin and reality these days is different from medieval Japan. Now we live with the insights of the past and thoughts and knowledge of a kind we've never experienced before. I try to make use of all the different experiences I've had during my life, all the -ism's I've encountered, the philosophies, ideas, corporeal sensations and whatever has made an impression in and on me in every kind of way.<br /><a href="http://okiedoks.com/readarticle.aspx?artid=268&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1">source : okiedoks.com </a><br /><br /><br /><br />:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:130%;" >Hanne Hansen</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">to visit mother<br />travelling by local bus<br />the only passenger </span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.geocities.jp/yix04102/">source : Meguro International Haiku Circle </a><br /><br /><br />:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://www.google.co.jp/search?tbm=isch&hl=ja&source=hp&biw=829&bih=844&q=%E3%81%8B%E3%81%AF%E3%81%BB%E3%82%8A+%E5%9C%9F%E8%94%B5&gbv=2&oq=%E3%81%8B%E3%81%AF%E3%81%BB%E3%82%8A+%E5%9C%9F%E8%94%B5&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_l=img.12...422l3922l0l5250l5l5l0l0l0l0l235l876l0j3j2l5l0.frgbld.#hl=ja&gbv=2&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=denmark+flag&oq=denmark+flag&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&gs_l=img.12..0.55609l56531l0l58266l5l5l0l3l3l0l140l250l0j2l2l0.frgbld.&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=1725911efc2ac1be&biw=829&bih=816"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 186px; height: 140px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijNDrJoYldidLISS7uJ9vT-oPK_WJAOja3Z7P-EIIfN7pE9-JgvPl48ikCPxeMS9BQDYw2oeabq9iMQjwOMBJVv6o8wFb8S84oNye5t6dg0TiQoUq4kbyo-yhOj726hyphenhyphen5V7cJq/s400/denmark+flag.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5728155187391567922" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://europasaijiki.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:130%;">EUROPE SAIJIKI ...

Martenitsa (Bulgarian: мартеница, pronounced [ˈmartɛnit͡sa]; plural мартеници martenitsi)<br />
is a small piece of adornment, made of white and red yarn and worn from March 1 until around the end of March (or the first time an individual sees a stork, swallow, or budding tree).<br />
<br />
The name of the holiday is <span style="font-weight: bold;">Baba Marta</span>. "Baba" (баба) is the Bulgarian word for "grandmother" and Mart (март) is the Bulgarian word for the month of March.<br />
Baba Marta is a Bulgarian tradition related to welcoming the upcoming spring. The month of March, according to Bulgarian folklore, marks the beginning of springtime. Therefore, the first day of March is a traditional holiday associated with sending off winter and welcoming spring.<br />

<br />
The same tradition is also held by those in the Republic of Macedonia, as well as in Greek Macedonia and Patras in the Peloponnese.<br />
Romanians also have a similar but not identical holiday on March 1, called "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Mărţişor</span>". If and how these two holidays are related is still a matter of debate between ethnologists.<br />

He attended Calvinist High School in Orăştie (renamed "Liceul Aurel Vlaicu" in his honour in 1919) and took his Baccalaureate in Sibiu in 1902. He furthered his studies at Technical University of Budapest and Technische Hochschule München in Germany, earning his engineer's diploma in 1907.<br /><br />After working at Opel car factory in Rüsselsheim, he returned to Binţinţi and built a glider he flew in the summer of 1909. Later that year, he moved to Bucharest, in the Kingdom of Romania, where he began the construction of Vlaicu Nr. I airplane; it flew for the first time on June 17, 1910.<br /><br />With his <span style="font-style:italic;">Vlaicu Nr. II</span> model, built in 1911, Aurel Vlaicu won several prizes summing 7,500 Austro-Hungarian krone (for precise landing, projectile throwing and tight flying around a pole) in 1912 at Aspern Air Show near Vienna, where he competed against 42 other aviators of the day, including Roland Garros.<br /><br />Aurel Vlaicu died in 1913 near Câmpina while attempting to cross in flight the Carpathian Mountains in his aged Vlaicu II airplane.<br />He is buried at the Bellu cemetery, in Bucharest.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirrO-D_5THFwo8oJIO6R_niRnnVTp4zhdBIehpvUvDE7AbOTmieNuCnneqLo7NgIdupC0tDYmMPllQCjcNgMrSYWOMPfHhBlJaxYt3nYHw53mBse8dRQ2gRIp2vy6JQ5ZEzJL_/s1600/aurel+vlaicu+money.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 139px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirrO-D_5THFwo8oJIO6R_niRnnVTp4zhdBIehpvUvDE7AbOTmieNuCnneqLo7NgIdupC0tDYmMPllQCjcNgMrSYWOMPfHhBlJaxYt3nYHw53mBse8dRQ2gRIp2vy6JQ5ZEzJL_/s400/aurel+vlaicu+money.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707692699108616226" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Vlaicu was posthumously elected to the Romanian Academy in 1948.<br />Bucharest City Airport in Băneasa was named after him.<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurel_Vlaicu"><span style="font-size:85%;">© More in the WIKIPEDIA !</span></a><br /><br /><br />::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::<br /><br /><a href="http://www.google.co.jp/search?tbm=isch&hl=ja&source=hp&biw=830&bih=816&q=Aurel+Vlaicu&gbv=2&oq=Aurel+Vlaicu&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=12&gs_upl=390l390l0l1187l1l1l0l0l0l0l63l63l1l1l0"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVquJ77SITXXEO0ZX4vQz1WS2MaWsp-ZXAOvuDVxjUWrbd7wdOLXGwblPHYbBkkzC3hczZt61l9TWLe2HWQW5JL7BbyOiyk_wGc9An58LmvIoGoP5PDbcPirUM5_mIOl182oAr/s400/Aurel+coin.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707693353711703538" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Reference</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://www.google.co.jp/#hl=ja&site=&q=Aurel+Vlaicu&btnK=Google+%E6%A4%9C%E7%B4%A2&pbx=1&oq=&aq=&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=6539d4242ee33ec8&biw=830&bih=816">.

Dickens enjoyed a wider popularity and fame than had any previous author during his lifetime, and he remains popular, having been responsible for some of English literature's most iconic novels and characters.<br /><br />Many of his writings were originally published serially, in monthly instalments, a format of publication which Dickens himself helped popularise. Unlike other authors who completed novels before serialisation, Dickens often created the episodes as they were being serialised. The practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by cliffhangers to keep the public looking forward to the next instalment.The continuing popularity of his novels and short stories is such that they have never gone out of print.<br /><br />Dickens's work has been highly praised for its realism, comedy, mastery of prose, unique personalities and concern for social reform, by writers such as Leo Tolstoy, George Orwell and G. K. Chesterton; though others, such as Henry James and Virginia Woolf, have criticised it for melodrama, sentimentality and implausibility.<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Dickens"><span style="font-size:85%;">© More in the WIKIPEDIA !</span></a><br /><br /><br />::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwf4zZkUi9Gs0op8jR6R2OMcPTqbTEyiulVgGaDsjTOfHGAadyXc1iS3Kj9z7WEX57Fe92hDOQnnflYVv5ZQHZ891GxsTrQLDlK2VVzmAlGt-YDR0svUOVmnPEQwL2Qje_KfhG/s1600/google+dickens+feb+07.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 171px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwf4zZkUi9Gs0op8jR6R2OMcPTqbTEyiulVgGaDsjTOfHGAadyXc1iS3Kj9z7WEX57Fe92hDOQnnflYVv5ZQHZ891GxsTrQLDlK2VVzmAlGt-YDR0svUOVmnPEQwL2Qje_KfhG/s400/google+dickens+feb+07.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706610643186407938" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">google logo in February 7, 2012</span><br /><br />チャールズ・ディケンズ<br /><br /><br /><strong>Reference</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://www.google.co.jp/#hl=ja&site=&q=Charles+Dickens&btnK=Google+%E6%A4%9C%E7%B4%A2&pbx=1&oq=&aq=&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=1e55b1c4edaeffb7&biw=830&bih=816">.

<span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;">Russian Haiku</span><span style="font-size: 130%;"><br />
by Eugene Wasserstrom</span><br />
Russian haiku resists definitions.<br />
Like primordial soup it defies geography and structure. Bound only by its language and the Internet it finds ways to mix Russian literary tradition with Japanese style and Western logic. Not unlike many who are taken by this poetry, the Russian haiku community has yet to establish a boundary between haiku and senryu, between real and imagined, between self and the world. Everything, good or bad, is possible in this virtual thought environment that sometimes reminds me of Solaris, the planet-mind from the Stanislaw Lem science fiction novel.<br />
<br />
From early translations of Japanese classics and occasional publications in secondary literary magazines Russian haiku sprang on the Internet, appearing first on Alexei Andreev's http://www.haiku.ru. His article "What is haiku?" still serves as a reference point for many Russian haijin.<br />

He is considered one of the greatest Romanian playwrights and writers, a leading representative of local humor, and a main representative of Junimea, an influential literary society with which he parted during the second half of his life.<br /><br />Caragiale's work, spanning four decades, covers the ground between Neoclassicism, Realism, and Naturalism, building on an original synthesis of foreign and local influences. His plays constituted an important venue for criticism of late 19th-century Romanian society, while in later works of fiction Caragiale adopted the fantasy genre or turned to historical fiction.<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_Luca_Caragiale"><span style="font-size:85%;">© More in the WIKIPEDIA !</span></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.google.co.jp/search?tbm=isch&hl=ja&source=hp&biw=834&bih=816&q=Ion+Luca+Caragiale&gbv=2&oq=Ion+Luca+Caragiale&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=s&gs_upl=469l469l0l1297l1l1l0l0l0l0l47l47l1l1l0"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 303px; height: 166px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgejFLr1q1Zoh0cd2ko9YEBWC-ktx6A_ZfQdt-KCLNzoA3UUA4xjtcHgI0rldLgSfleyxhrp6KNcrNR5hlKIkziT2WnTxKD336esJgtmFRapoEjMAghp4209RNb5JoXOGEiHZ1h/s400/caragiale+money.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705099322943946146" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">quote</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mr. Goe</span></span><br />by I.

These narratives describe the construction of a large, seagoing ark by the Patriarch Noah at God's command to save himself, his family, and the world's animals from the worldwide deluge of the Great Flood.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBRODco4cWnipanmBXzZlklPlwf8WTNrXxDqVccZj02RJdVSnglUQ8DWJQdekf8T5ms-8IET0J5Rr-mTbA2CJgnINBRpIH_fRnkSNS2EsuSrKcGCaaxIwesn1N9dFETbZQk8GK/s1600/Noah+ark+wiki.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 348px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBRODco4cWnipanmBXzZlklPlwf8WTNrXxDqVccZj02RJdVSnglUQ8DWJQdekf8T5ms-8IET0J5Rr-mTbA2CJgnINBRpIH_fRnkSNS2EsuSrKcGCaaxIwesn1N9dFETbZQk8GK/s400/Noah+ark+wiki.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5736303063480453650" border="0" /></a><br /><br />In the narrative of the ark, God sees the wickedness of man and is grieved by his creation, resolving to send a great flood to cleanse the Earth. However, God chooses a man named Noah and "counted it righteous to him" to live and preserve mankind through Noah's family.<br />God then proceeds to give Noah detailed instructions on how to build the ark. When Noah and the animals are safe on board, God sends the Flood, which rises until all the mountains are covered and all life on Earth is destroyed. At the height of the flood, the ark rests on mountaintops, before the waters recede and dry land reappears.<br /><br />Noah, his family, and the animals leave the ark to repopulate the Earth. God places a symbolic rainbow in the sky and makes a covenant with Noah and all living things, by which he vows to never again send a flood to destroy the Earth.<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah%27s_Ark"><span style="font-size:85%;">© More in the WIKIPEDIA !</span></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">***************************** </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc6600;"><strong>Worldwide use</strong></span><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://www.google.co.jp/search?tbm=isch&hl=ja&source=hp&biw=832&bih=816&q=%E5%90%B9%E9%9B%AA%E3%81%8B%E3%82%8C%E3%81%A6%E3%83%8E%E3%82%A2%E3%81%AE%E6%96%B9%E8%88%9F%E3%82%81%E3%81%8F%E5%AE%A2%E8%BB%8A&gbv=2&oq=%E5%90%B9%E9%9B%AA%E3%81%8B%E3%82%8C%E3%81%A6%E3%83%8E%E3%82%A2%E3%81%AE%E6%96%B9%E8%88%9F%E3%82%81%E3%81%8F%E5%AE%A2%E8%BB%8A&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_nf=1&gs_l=img.12...515.515.0.1328.1.1.0.0.0.0.63.63.1.1.0.kv826xrv7GQ#hl=ja&gbv=2&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=%E3%83%8E%E3%82%A2%E3%81%AE%E7%AE%B1%E8%88%9F&oq=%E3%83%8E%E3%82%A2%E3%81%AE%E7%AE%B1%E8%88%9F&aq=f&aqi=g6g-sS1g-S3&aql=&gs_nf=1&gs_l=img.12..0l6j0i10i24j0i24l3.249172.249172.0.250094.1.1.0.0.0.0.109.109.0j1.1.0.ZkBrBAJK7g0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=2c37d365c4e91693&biw=832&bih=816"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij6ASvlvJghd-_k8YZtMVy_kbdGdijJzgL4l7uaS3QaSCwRj6-Rid_zkg-bAw2eCmov9TNO9ze8VctUCJd518H4rtLdvyI3L36P0wQMNgF1EwI9Z0KdLTPGxrInOV5uG0K7OPt/s400/Noah+ark.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5736303546834011074" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Die Arche Noah<br /><br /><br />noa no hakobune ノアの箱舟</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>*****************************<br /><span style="color:#cc6600;">Things found on the way</span></strong></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>*****************************<br /><span style="color:#cc6600;">HAIKU</span></strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Noah's ark<br />animal house<br />party time </span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/best-poems/ben-gieske/noah-s-ark-haiku/">Ben Gieske : poemhunter </a> <br /><br /><br />:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">吹雪かれてノアの方舟めく客車 </span><br />fubuki karete noa no hakobune meku kyakusha<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">snow blizzard stops<br /> a passenger train looking like<br /> Noah’s Ark </span><br /><br />Tayu Misaki 田湯岬<br /><span style="font-size:78%;"> Tr.

Sie besuchte dort bis kurz vor Kriegsende die Schule. Nach der Flucht vor den anrückenden sowjetischen Truppen fand die Familie 1945 vorerst in Mecklenburg eine neue Heimat. Wolf arbeitete als Schreibhilfe beim Bürgermeister des Dorfes Gammelin bei Schwerin. Sie beendete die Oberschule 1949 mit dem Abitur in Bad Frankenhausen und trat im selben Jahr in die SED ein, deren Mitglied sie bis zu ihrem Austritt im Juni 1989 blieb. Von 1949 bis 1953 studierte sie Germanistik in Jena und Leipzig, unter anderem bei Hans Mayer.<br /><br />...<br />Anfang der 1990er Jahre wurde bekannt, dass Wolf von 1959 bis 1962 als „IM Margarete“ beim Ministerium für Staatssicherheit der DDR geführt worden war. Sie hatte drei Berichte verfasst, die allerdings ein ausschließlich positives Bild der betroffenen Personen zeichneten. Entsprechend beklagte die Stasi in internen Aufzeichnungen von 1962 Wolfs „Zurückhaltung“ in der Zusammenarbeit und begann nunmehr, die Autorin selbst umfangreich zu überwachen – ein Zustand, der bis zum Ende der DDR anhielt. Auf die Frage, warum sie trotzdem in der DDR geblieben sei, antwortete sie, dass ihre Leser sie dort gebraucht hätten.<br /><br />... Im Jahr 1951 heiratete sie den Schriftsteller Gerhard Wolf. Ein Jahr später wurde ihre erste Tochter Annette geboren, vier Jahre danach die zweite Tochter.<br /><br />Christa Wolf starb am 1.

<b>Ireland </b><br />
is the third-largest island in Europe, and the twentieth-largest island in the world. It lies to the north-west of continental Europe and is surrounded by hundreds of islands and islets. To the east of Ireland, separated by the Irish Sea, is the island of Great Britain. Politically, the sovereign country of Ireland (described as the Republic of Ireland) covers five-sixths of the island, with Northern Ireland (part of the United Kingdom) covering the remainder in the north-east.<br />

And for some fun, an external LINK to the "seasons" or Ireland<br />
This is the new guide to the Irish seasons. All other references to 'Spring', 'Autumn' etc are now obsolete and we will be moving forward with this new EU model.<br />
Cold wet season, summers, warmer wet season (tourist season)...<br />

The celebrations were conducted<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">from the 23rd of June (St John's Eve)<br />to the 28th of June (St Peter's Eve) </span><br />each year, St Peter's Eve being the more popular in Cornish fishing communities.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEfrx6qF8Q6KRiK3wnWMkH2YNV66jPfLkS2FUp59pAEyg0PQHDUTCk8YciIoGM2RY5JxrHnThr-CmtGW69cnErBSGuoiVzTp6J3_EvOP7FBsV5SZSVfmadjGk-I2IeuTfOx5NY/s1600/golowan.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEfrx6qF8Q6KRiK3wnWMkH2YNV66jPfLkS2FUp59pAEyg0PQHDUTCk8YciIoGM2RY5JxrHnThr-CmtGW69cnErBSGuoiVzTp6J3_EvOP7FBsV5SZSVfmadjGk-I2IeuTfOx5NY/s400/golowan.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708520296004754434" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The celebrations were centred around the lighting of bonfires and fireworks and the performance of associated rituals. The midsummer bonfire ceremonies (Tansys Golowan in Cornish) were revived at St Ives in 1929 by the Old Cornwall Society and since then spread to other societies across Cornwall, as far as Kit Hill near Callington. Since 1991 the Golowan festival in Penzance has revived many of these ancient customs and has grown to become a major arts and culture festival: its central event 'Mazey Day' now attracts tens of thousands of people to the Penzance area in late June.<br /><br />1 The historic festival<br />1.1 Penzance<br />1.2 St Peter's Eve<br />1.3 St Just<br />2 Similar festivals<br />3 Modern Golowan celebrations<br />3.1 Penglaz the Penzance 'Obby 'Oss<br />3.2 Old Cornwall Society<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page"><span style="font-size:85%;">© More in the WIKIPEDIA !</span></a><br /><br />:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Midsummer’s Day </span>is the church feast of <span style="font-weight: bold;">St John The Baptist</span>, an important day in Penzance’s calendar as St John is the town’s Patron Saint – the ancient name ‘Pen Sans’ meaning ‘Holy Head’ refers to him, and images of the head of St John can be spotted on buildings throughout Penzance.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk6_hlZ9nL6P3qg7fGWHljkXtEdRhHlxAteDcWhzqRckoiz0ZEeCPJOtrXZXmAkt37Ueh7ShcagysGYS2c0xLFY9zFIzKQBLiOvDly9f5Mg16Oimh-DWDgto2Z5bCm_vRbYdJ4/s1600/saint-john-the-baptist.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk6_hlZ9nL6P3qg7fGWHljkXtEdRhHlxAteDcWhzqRckoiz0ZEeCPJOtrXZXmAkt37Ueh7ShcagysGYS2c0xLFY9zFIzKQBLiOvDly9f5Mg16Oimh-DWDgto2Z5bCm_vRbYdJ4/s400/saint-john-the-baptist.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708521172455852242" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.golowan.org/">source : www.golowan.org </a><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">***************************** </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc6600;"><strong>Worldwide use</strong></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Japan</span></span><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">observance kigo for mid-summer </span></strong><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">sei Yohanne sai 聖ヨハネ祭 (せいよはねさい)<br />Feast of Saint John</span><br />..... senja sei Yohanne sai 洗者聖ヨハネ祭(せんじゃせいよはねさい)<br />Feast of Saint John the Baptist<br />..... senja sei Yohanne tanjoobi 洗者聖ヨハネ誕生日(せんじゃせいよはねたんじょうび)<br />birthdy of Saint John, the Baptist<br /><br />der Heilige Johannes der Täufer<br /><br /><a href="http://wkdkigodatabase03.blogspot.com/2010/02/christian-celebrations-winter.html"><span style="font-size:130%;">.

Portugal is the westernmost country of Europe, and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the West and South and by Spain to the North and East. The Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira are part of Portugal. The country is named after its second largest city, Porto, whose Latin name was Portus Cale.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjve5S67KoLRO4WBHFFdvqaS6p8YA4XVt71EDRLruSxIFT4j_ZcOnGkgw410D-o2e6TecludjKn66fsmedLGdvwSYKcNEivq8qeRUSWAz4jNYqVrN8kYucZbA7LnpS9RUzoH8fK/s1600/portugal+flag.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 125px; height: 83px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjve5S67KoLRO4WBHFFdvqaS6p8YA4XVt71EDRLruSxIFT4j_ZcOnGkgw410D-o2e6TecludjKn66fsmedLGdvwSYKcNEivq8qeRUSWAz4jNYqVrN8kYucZbA7LnpS9RUzoH8fK/s400/portugal+flag.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724765595841978258" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The land within the borders of today's Portuguese Republic has been continuously settled since prehistoric times: occupied by Celts like the Gallaeci and the Lusitanians, integrated into the Roman Republic and later settled by Germanic peoples such as the Suebi, Swabians, Vandals and the Visigoths. In the 8th century most of the Iberian Peninsula was conquered by Moorish invaders professing Islam, which were later expelled by the Knights Templar under the Order of Christ. During the Christian Reconquista, Portugal established itself as an independent kingdom from León in 1139, claiming to be the oldest European nation-state.<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portugal"><span style="font-size:85%;">© More in the WIKIPEDIA !</span></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">***************************** </span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc6600;"><strong>Worldwide use</strong></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>*****************************<br /><span style="color:#cc6600;">Things found on the way</span></strong></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>*****************************<br /><span style="color:#cc6600;">HAIKU</span></strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">菜の花や西の遥かにぽるとがる </span><br />nanohana ya nishi no haruka ni Porutogaru<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">rapeseed blossoms -<br />far away to the West<br />there is Portugal </span><br /><br /><a href="http://wkdhaikutopics.blogspot.jp/2010/02/arima-akito.html"><span style="font-size:130%;">.
