Minami-dani: Mt. Haguro's Southern Valley



The famous haiku poet Matsuo Basho stayed in Shionji Temple on July 3rd, 1689. Matsuo Basho and his disciples traveled to the Dewa Sanzan as a part of their "Oku no Hosomichi" journey.Regarding his stay in Minamidani, Matsuo Basho wrote the following haiku :
有難や Arigataya ("How blessed am I")
雪をかほらす Yuki o kahorasu ("To see the snow on Gassan")
南谷 Minami dani ("from Minami dani")

It is very rare for haiku poets, especially for Matsuo Basho, to use direct expressions involving feelings such as the word "arigatai" ("to feel thankful"), but this is the wording the famous poet chose to convey his memories in Minami Dani.

Minami dani is located on the right path before the San no Saka 三ノ坂. The temple has disappeared, but the Buddhist steles and statues remain on the site.

The Alpine Archipelago: Surveying Japan from the Timberline



Taking a timberline view of Japanese society, this conference explores the place of mountains in Japanese history, literature, film, religion, and popular culture. It does so in the same spirit as Fukada Kyūya's One Hundred Mountains of Japan (Nihon Hyakumeizan): by offering detailed portraits of individual mountain landscapes and the communities in which they are embedded. Each speaker will guide us to a particular peak, showcasing not just the wide range of alpine environments in Japan but the host of methodological approaches to studying the upland areas that make up the better part of the archipelago.
