From the book shop in Osaka Japan is proven again that some Japanese do believe in feng shui and bazi reading.
It
was a great pleasure to travel around Japan this winter and experienced for
myself the feng shui of Japan. Japan is at the Far East of the Earth and is the
first country to see the Sun when the Sun rises, hence Sun is the auspicious
symbol to the Japanese. You can find that the symbol of the Sun is at the
national flat of the Japanese. In Later Heaven Bagua, East is plant and Sun,
the grand fire. The plant produces and makes the fire of Sun stronger.
Mount
Fuji (富士山
Fujisan) is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776.24 m (12,389 ft) is the 太极山 of
Japan which forms 廉贞星
hill shape. 廉贞星
is with sharp tip and triangle shape. The shape is like fire and hence it is
like an arrogant, strong and aggressive man. This makes the Japanese men always
like to act arrogant, strong and aggressive. In the history of Japan, warrior,
army, ninja and samurai make an important role in the development of the
country.
山管人丁水管财，山灵人杰，山有灵气就会出现豪杰，古人曰："山不在高，有仙則名;
水不在深，有龍則靈"
, 有好水就会有财气.
In feng shui, mountain governs the people and water governs the wealth. In
Japan, it is apparent that the hills and mountains are beautiful and the water
is clear. It is a country surrounded by beautiful hills and water. A clear
example is the Osaka City. It is surrounded by beautiful hills and water. The
hills produce talented people and water produces great wealth for Japan.
Also,
you will notice the influences of Chinese feng shui belief in the buildings
structural in Japan. Many old temples and castles were build according to this
concept whereby in the ‘Before Heaven Bagua”, South is Sky or Heaven, hence
facing the South is considered a very auspicious direction. One of the good
examples is the Forbidden City in Beijing is facing the South. Of all the
temples and castles that I visited in Japan are all facing the South. They all
try to follow the left green dragon, right white tiger, front red phoenix and
back black turtle as their building landscape characteristics.
Confucius
said 面南而治天下
face the South to rule the World. Of course, in term of geography studies, it
is always good to face the South as the cool wind during winter from the North
will not flow into the house directly if a house is facing the South.
Nara
(奈良市
Nara-shi) is the capital city of Nara Prefecture located in the Kansai region
of Japan. The city occupies the northern part of Nara Prefecture, directly
bordering Kyoto Prefecture. Eight temples, shrines and ruins in Nara,
specifically Tōdai-ji.
In
ancient times, before the eighth century, the then capital of Japan, Kyoto,
were temporary settlements that were transferred to the death of their emperor.
By accessing Buddhism to Japan from China. Kyoto, which was founded in the
likeness of the Chinese ancient capital of Ch'angan .
1)
The mountains are located the north, “like the seized head of the
turtle-serpent, with undulations of the dragoon and bows of the tiger coming from
the east and the west”. These mountains define a natural barrier and a space
dominion that they protect.
2) A body of water exists to the south, and
the slope develops smoothly towards that direction.
3) This configuration establishes a clear
directionality according to the cardinal points and clearly is related to the
solar movements, the resulting effects of light and the wind direction.
From
the book shop in Osaka Japan is proven again that some Japanese do believe in
feng shui and bazi reading. I quickly went through the books and found that the
basic theory like I-ching , Bagua, 5 elements, heaven stem, earth root etc are
the same even though I don't understand Japanese.
