Japan: St Clara Church in Yonabaru, Okinawa (3/5) 2013-03-26(Tue)1319hrs
- Santa Clara kerk staat op de heuvel in Yonabaru, Okinawa, met uitzicht op het stadje en de Grote Oceaan. Deze katholieke kerk was na de Heilige Clara (Italiaans: Santa Chiara) van Assisi (1194-1253) genaamd. Gezamenlijk ontworpen door het Amerikaanse architecten- en ingenieursbureau uit Chicago, genaamd 'Skidmore, Owings & Merrill' (afgekort SOM) en de Japanse architect Ken KATAOKA uit Kyoto, zag het gebouw voltooid in 1958 onder toezicht van de Amerikaanse bezetting, de op dit tijdstip (1945-72) Okinawa in heeft geoordeeld. De hele muur van gebrandschilderd glas dat is in de voorkant van het altaar te zien aan de rechterkant, denken aan het schilderij van Nieuwe Beelding (of neoplasticisme), 'Compositie met geel, blauw en rood' (1937-42) door de Nederlands-geboren schilder Piet Mondriaan (1872-1944), wiens invloed heeft een dominante factor te zijn.
- Sankt Klara Kirche steht auf dem Hügel in Yonabaru, Okinawa, mit Blick auf die kleine Stadt und den Pazifischen Ozean. Diese katholische Kirche wurde nach dem Heiligen Klara (italienisch: Santa Chiara) von Assisi (1194-1253) benannt. Gemeinsam vom amerikanischen Architektur- und Ingenieurwesensbüro aus Chicago, genannt „Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (abgekürzt SOM) und dem japanischen Architekten Ken KATAOKA von Kyoto konzipiert, sah das Gebäude seine Fertigstellung im Jahr 1958 unter der Aufsicht der US-Besatzungsmacht, die zu diesem Zeitpunkt (1945-72) Okinawa ausgeschlossen hat. Die ganze Wand der Glasmalerei, die man vor dem Altar auf der rechten Seite sieht, erinnert an das Gemälde des Neoplastizismus, „Komposition mit Gelb, Blau und Rot (1937-42) vom niederländischen geborenen Maler Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), dessen Einfluß hier ein dominierender Faktor sein muß.
- L'église Sainte Claire se dresse sur la colline d'Yonabaru, Okinawa, surplombant la petite ville et l'océan Pacifique. Cette église catholique était nommée après Sainte-Claire (en italien: Santa Chiara) d'Assise (1194-1253). Conjointement conçue par l'agence américaine d'architectes, dont le siège est situé à Chicago, et qui s'appelle «Skidmore, Owings & Merrill» (ou SOM) et l'architecte japonais Ken KATAOKA de Kyoto, la construction a été achevée en 1958 sous la supervision des forces américaines d'occupation qui régnérent Okinawa à l'époque (1945-72). Tout le mur de vitraux que l'on voit sur la droite face à l'autel, n'est pas sans rappeler la peinture du néo-plasticisme, «Composition avec jaune, bleu et rouge» (1937-42) par le néerlandais né peintre Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), dont l'influence doit être un facteur dominant ici.
- St Clara Church stands on the hill in Yonabaru, Okinawa, overlooking the small town and the Pacific Ocean. This Catholic church was named after Saint Clare (or Santa Chiara in Italian) of Assisi (1194-1253). Jointly designed by the American architectural and engineering firm based in Chicago by the name of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (or SOM) and the Japanese architect from Kyoto, Ken KATAOKA, the building saw its completion in 1958 under the supervision of the US Occupation Forces that ruled Okinawa at that time (1945-72). The entire wall of stained glasses that one sees on the right when facing the altar, is reminiscent of the neo-plasticist painting, Composition with Yellow, Blue and Red (1937-42) by Dutch-born painter Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), whose influence must be a dominant factor here.
聖クララ敎會は沖縄縣與那原町（よなばるちやう）の丘の上に建ち、小さな町と太平洋を見下ろしてゐる。カトリック信徒の爲の此敎會堂は、アッシージの聖キアラ（建久五年生、建長五年歿）に因んで名づけられた。其建物は米國シカゴに本拠を置く建築事務所「スキッドモア・オーウィングズ・アンド・メリル」（略称SOM）と、京都出身の片岡献（生歿年不詳）によりて設計され、米占領軍當局（昭和廿年から四十七年まで沖縄を統治）の指導の下で昭和卅三年に完成を見た。祭壇に向ひて右側壁一面を覆ふ彩色ガラス窓（ステンドグラス）は、阿蘭陀出身の畫家ピート・モンドリアン（明治五年生、昭和十九年歿）による新造形主義の繪畫作品「黄色と青と赤のコンポジション」（昭和十二年から十七年）を思ひ起こさせ、其甚大なる影響が垣間見られる。

White Plumb Tower and Tower of Eri - Itoman Okinawa, Japan
The White Plumb Tower:
It is in this location during the Battle of Okinawa where a number of school children were killed. They had been hiding in the nearby cave and when the US Military called out for survivors none responded, scared of what the US Military would do to them. Following protocol the US Military then bombarded the cave with hand grenades and flame throwers. The children were killed.
The Tower of Eri:
It was at this location where a fight happened during the Battle of Okinawa between the 32nd Infantry and 22nd Regiment. They were whipped out on June 17 1945. This is also known as the land on which the 10th Army Commander Lieutenant General Buckner was killed. After the war the worship and collecting of remains that were scattered among the fields gave reason to build this monument. It is dedicated to move than 12,000 spirits including troops as well as residents.
Chuu uganabira! My name is Kathryn and I have been living on the beautiful island of Okinawa for almost a decade. I spend most of my time immersing myself in the culture, learning about the history of the island and way of life past and present. In 2011 I decided to start sharing my experiences here on YouTube to offer newcomers and those interested in the island the perspective of someone who has been living here long term.
