Paris Arc De Triomphe
Located on Étoile Square, at the end of Avenue Champs-Elysées, Arc de Triomphe belongs to the Ax Historique axis through many important works of Paris. The location of the Arc de Triomphe is the intersection of 12 boulevards and three districts. To reach the base of the building, the Passage du Souvenir walkway is built underground.
At the end of the Champs-Elysées, twice a year, around May 10 and August 1, there is a phenomenon: standing in the middle of the avenue, seeing the sunset across the Arc de Triomphe for a few minutes. On May 10, 1994, this phenomenon coincided with an eclipse. Nearly 200,000 people have come here to witness. Similarly, looking from the opposite direction, from Porte Maillot’s side, this phenomenon happened around February 7 and November 4.
The Arc de Triomphe has a vertical square size, 45 meters wide, 50 meters high, located on a square with a diameter of 240 meters. The building is the largest French sculpture in the 19th century. Its sides are decorated with many reliefs, monuments, and engraved names of famous people during the Revolution and Empire.
The four largest sculptures are Departure of the Volunteers of 1792 and Triumph 1810 on the Champs-Elysées, the 1814 Resistance, and 1815 Peace on the Grande-Armée. In which Departure of the Volunteers (Le slippersart des Volontaires de 1792), or La Marseillaise is the most famous. Works by sculptor François Rude, 11.6 meters high and 6 meters wide. The inner four-legged face of the Arc de Triomphe is decorated with reliefs depicting famous battles during the Revolution and the Empire. Below are the names of famous people in that historical period. Six reliefs, four above the monuments and two on the sides depict the stages and events of the French Revolution and the Empire. In addition, the Arc de Triomphe surface also has other small reliefs.
Based on that information, Omoshiroi Block Store created a paper model of Arc de Triomphe with the most accurate design with reality.
Kyoto Kiyomizu Temple
Kiyomizu-Dera was established in the late Nara period. The temple was founded and built-in 778 by a monk, the abbot Enchin, however, the temple was burnt several times, and its current structures were built in 1633, by order of Tokugawa Iemitsu. Which nail is used in the entire structure of the temple? Kiyomizu-Dera is named after a single waterfall flowing out of a nearby mountain, where Kiyomizu means freshwater, or pure water.
The main hall has large eaves, supported by tall pillars that protrude on a hillside, creating an impressive landscape for the city. Large awnings and main halls were constructed at many famous buildings during the Edo period to accommodate large numbers of pilgrims.
The popular Japanese idiom “jump from Kiyomizu” is equivalent to the English idiom “to take the plunge” – determined to act, to do something long ago. This refers to a tradition in the Edo period whereby, if a person is alive after jumping from a height of 13m from the main station to the ground, his or her wish comes true. 234 jumps are recorded to have been made during the Edo period, of which 85.4% survived. This action was subsequently banned.
Although famous as a Buddhist temple, in the architectural complex here not only the temple but also the temple of Shinto. The most popular shrine to visit is Jishu (Jishu jinja), which is dedicated to Ōkuninushi – the god of love and couples. Another can provide support while the person is walking, but it makes sense that a companion will be needed. The facilitator’s relationship can also help the two.
Kiyomizu-Dera also offers various amulets, incense, and o-mikuji (fortune cards, lucky cards).
In 2007, New Seven Wonders of the World chose Kiyomizu-dera was one of the last 21 candidates. However, it was not selected as one of the seven winning locations.
Now, you can own a Kiyomizu Temple Model from Omoshiroi Block Store. We customized it in 4 colors: Green – Purple – Red – Brown for you to choose.
