Nara: Step Into Ancient Japan, Where Deer Roam Free
Step back in time to Nara, Japan's captivating first permanent capital (710-794 CE). Just a short train ride from Kyoto or Osaka, this serene city offers a unique blend of ancient history and natural beauty, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking a glimpse into Japan's foundations. Nara preserves its legacy with remarkable integrity, boasting a whopping eight UNESCO World Heritage sites, and is famously home to over a thousand sacred, free-roaming deer. Nara's establishment as the capital in 710 CE marked a pivotal moment, laying the groundwork for Japan's enduring culture. Modeled after China's Tang dynasty capital, its meticulously planned grid layout reflected a period of centralized government and immense cultural growth. This era was a crucible for early Japanese Buddhist art, literature, and political structures. The heart of the city is Nara Park, where over a thousand wild deer, believed to be messengers of the gods, roam freely and even bow for treats – you can even buy special crackers! Within the park stands Todaiji Temple, home to the colossal Great Buddha (Daibutsu). This 15-meter bronze statue is housed inside the Daibutsuden, the world's largest wooden building – a truly awe-inspiring sight that reflects the ambition of 8th-century Japan. Nearby, Kasuga Taisha Shrine is Nara's celebrated Shinto shrine, known for its thousands of stone and bronze lanterns that line its paths and illuminate the grounds, especially during the special festivals in February and August. Founded by the powerful Fujiwara clan, it highlights the intertwining of politics and religion. Don't miss Kofuku-ji Temple, distinguished by its towering five-story pagoda, a long-standing symbol of Nara and a key institution of the Fujiwara dynasty. Explore Naramachi, the old merchant district, with its preserved Edo-era buildings, quaint shops and local eateries. It's perfect for sampling kakinoha sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) and finding unique souvenirs. Nara offers a unique journey into Japan's ancient soul, providing tangible connections to its formative past amid charming, free-roaming deer. It's an unforgettable destination where history truly comes alive.

Supremeis launching a newSpring 2025collaboration withGOODENOUGH, the seminal Japanese clothing brand established in 1990 by streetwear godfatherHiroshi Fujiwara. GOODENOUGH, which laid the foundation for contemporary Japanese street fashion, was born from Fujiwara's cross-cultural immersion in early '80s London punk and New York hip-hop culture. Fujiwara founded GOODENOUGH, blending diverse influences like punk, hip-hop, BMX, skateboarding, and luxury fashion with a refined sensibility. The brand became known for high-quality, utilitarian garments with intelligent graphics, limited quantities, and luxury pricing – a blueprint for the modern streetwear market.

Nikkei slips as stronger yen weighs, market lacks clear direction
TOKYO: Japan's Nikkei share average dropped on Tuesday, pressured by a stronger yen that dampened sentiment, while most investors refrained from active trading amid a lack of clear market-moving catalysts. The Nikkei was down 0.24% at 37,440.32 by the midday break. The broader Topix held its ground at 2,752.87. 'With the US markets closed on Monday, institutional investors stayed cautious and quiet. And it looked like only individual investors were trading small stocks,' said Naoki Fujiwara, senior fund manager at Shinkin Asset Management. 'But the market reacted to the yen's gain against the dollar during the session,' said Fujiwara. The yen strengthened against the dollar following comments from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda, which signalled the central bank's willingness to raise interest rates. Governor Ueda said that the BOJ must remain vigilant to the risk that rising food prices could drive underlying inflation higher, noting that it is already close to the central bank's 2% target. A stronger yen generally pressures exporter shares, as it diminishes the value of overseas earnings when converted back into Japanese currency. Among individual stocks, chip-making equipment maker Tokyo Electron fell 1.69% to drag the Nikkei the most. Uniqlo-brand owner Fast Retailing lost 0.78% and toy maker Konami Group slipped 1%. Japan's Nikkei rises for a second day as trade fears ease, Nippon Steel jumps Shares of staffing agency Recruit Holdings rose 1.37%, while game maker Nintendo also advanced, gaining 0.84%. Drugstore operator Tsuruha Holdings climbed 1.51% after shareholders approved its merger with Welcia Holdings , despite opposition from U.K.-based fund Orbis Investment. On the Tokyo Stock Exchange's prime market, 58% of the over 1,600 listed stocks advanced, 36% declined, and 5% remained unchanged.
