In 2010 I started a series about my travel to British Columbia (2005). I do not know why I did abandoned it but I want to start it again, to finish the story. If you want to catch up with the first six episodes, see below the links to the the posts.
The Art Gallery of Victoria is hosted in a nice, wooden, Victorian house from 1889. Besides the works of art, the gallery has in his little Japanese garden the only original shinto shrine in whole North America.
Shinto is one of the oldest relion in the world, with 3-4 millions adherents in Japan. The basis of this religion is the belief in kami (spirits) and the old deities.The name comes from the Chinese “shin tao”, which means “the way of the kami”.
In the little garden one may see Japanese mapples and bamboo, stone and metl lanterns, a basin with water for purification. The garden is very relaxing so I took advantage of it, as I was alone there.
In 2010 am inceput un serial despre British Columbia, Canada pe care apoi l-am abandonat. Mai e cate ceva de povestit despre calatoria mea acolo, in 2005, asa ca voi continua acum.
Galeria de Arta a capitalei statului BC, Victoria, are - pe langa colectiile de arta - o mica gradina japoneza, care adaposteste singurul altar shinto original, din toata America de Nord. Cladirea in care se afla galeria este o resedinta victoriana de la 1889, din lemn.
Pentru cine nu stie, shinto este una dintre cele mai vechi religii din lume. Ea are, in Japonia, 3-4 milioane de adepti. In esenta, se bazeaza pe credinta in kami (spirite) si vechii zei. Numele sau provine din chinezescul "shin tao" care inseamna "calea lui kami".
Daca vreti sa va improspatati memoria cu episoadele anterioare, iata unde le gasiti:

altarul shinto
Gradina, cu artari japonezi si ferigi, cu pietre si felinare de piatra sau metal si un bazin pentru apa, pentru purificare, este foarte relaxanta. Am profitat din plin, fiind singura acolo. E o oaza estetica de liniste, care iti incarca bateriile!
