Takeda Shrine's Outing!

Today Mr. Usui took us to the Takeda Shrine to learn about Yamanashi Prefecture in the past. Takeda Shrine was the residence of the Takeda clan in the Sengoku Jidai period. Mr. Usui told us many things about the history of Japan, especially Yamanashi Prefecture, how was the Sengoku Jidai constellation, and more interesting things about Takeda clan in the past.


Even i was learnt about Japanese History when I was 1st grade student in my university, I don't recognize that Japanese History, especially the history about Sengoku Jidai is interesting to be learned. I started to have interest about Japanese History when my friend introduced me to Shogun 2 game. The game was so addictive like you want to stop the time just for playing that game. In that game, I think Takeda clan isn't players favorite clan because the location of the clan was surrounded by the opponent clan. Maybe Date clan, or Shimazu clan could be the player's favorite clan because neither Shimazu or Date clan wasn't getting surrounded by other clans, so they can go straight and take the opponent clan's territory without worrying about backstabbed by the other opponents.


Oh, I'm sorry to talk too much about game! I'll back to the context. Before we went back home, I drank Japanese traditional Amazake. When I drank it, I recalled to Indonesian's Fermented Cassava named Tapai. I thought that under-aged man according to Japanese rules cant drink this. But amazingly, how young or how old are you, you're welcomed for Amazake!
