Ein Museum, das steinernen Gesichtern gewidmet ist (Aus der Serie "Ein Museum")

THE CHICHIBU CHINSEKIKAN, OR THE Hall of Curious Stones, is a privately owned museum in Chichibu, Japan, famous for its peculiar inventory. Its main attractions are jinmen-seki, stones that naturally look like faces. 


On the second floor are glass cases full of stones resembling, well, pretty much everything. There are stones that take on features of pop culture icons such as Jack Sparrow, Elvis Presley, and even Donkey Kong. Also among the collection are a myriad of stones that resemble Japanese celebrities, politicians, and anime characters. 

The founder of the Chinsekikan, Shōji Hayama, originally collected locally produced stones to sell in Tokyo. However, after deciding that some of the more curious stones should stay in Chichibu, he began to accumulate a collection.



The museum houses all kinds of jinmenseki, or rock with a human face, including celebrity lookalikes like Elvis Presley.  Wie man sieht:

Ein Museum. Das Instant Ramen Museum in Osaka

If you’re a hungry college student, perhaps you’d rather shoplift the instant ramen exhibits at this museum, rather than admire them. Osaka is actually the birthplace of ramen, where the noodle dish was invented in 1958. The first product was chicken ramen and it was invented in a research shed in Ikeda City, where the museum is located. The museum was opened in 1999 to chronicle the history of ramen and chronicle the significance of innovation at different stages of invention in general. Not only can you learn about the history of ramen, but you can make your own ramen with a variety of choose-your-own ingredients and then head over to the Handmade Chicken Ramen Hands-On Workshop to make the original noodle dish that started it all.

Ein Museum - Das Museum der Sechsundzwanzig Märtyrer in Nagasaki

Denkmal, Kirche und Museum. Ein christlicher Gedächtnisort Mitten in Japan
 


The story of the 26 martyrs begins in the 16th century. Although he had tolerated Christianity even after the ban issued in 1587, Toyotomi Hideyoshi became suspicious of missionaries as possible agents for European intervention in Japan. Twenty-six Christians, including six foreign missionaries and three children, were arrested in Kyoto and Osaka and forced to walk through the snow to Nagasaki. After an 800km journey, they were crucified on Nishizaka hill on February 5, 1597. This was to serve as a warning to the large Christian population of Nagasaki.
In 1862, these 26 martyrs were canonized by Pope Pius IX. On the centennial of their canonization, a church, a museum and bronze monument were constructed at the site of the martyrdom. The museum displays documents and items related to the activities and struggles of the persecuted Christians. 

Edict of prohibition of Christianity in Japan and offering of reward to people who give information about Priests, Brothers, Catechists, or returnees to the Christian faith. Dated 1682.
This unique image of Our Lady of the Snows is one of the few Western-Japanese (Namban Art) religious art pieces that survived the long persecution period in Japanese.
Even if we don't have precise data, all points to think it was made in Nagasaki by some of the Christian painters of the famous "Kano" school, between 1600 and 1614.
