Here, you can view all of Kyokuyo's life logs documented over the past 20 years. This is who we are.
There is a Shintô shrine called "Iminomiya Jinja" in Chôfu quarter of Shimonoseki City, where Kyokuyo Shipyard is located. You may have seen its guardian before, as we ask him to attend our keel-laying and other ceremonies, if they are held with Shintô rites.
Hello, It has been almost 2 years since I posted the last column about our hometown! This time, I am going to introduce "Senteisai" (literal meaning : "festival for the late Emperor"), traditional festival that takes place every year between May 2 and 4 at Shimonoseki.
For Japanese society, the month of April has special meaning, because a school year and a standard account year start together with this month. Yes, it is the season for freshmen and freshwomen!
In my last column, I told about the last battle fought by two samurai families more than 800 years ago, in Shimonoseki. This time, I am going to introduce another samurai battle, no less well known than the last one. It is the story about Ganryu-jima, or Ganryu island, very close to our location.
Okay, for those who are getting tired of hearing news about contracting, launching, or delivering of newbuilding ships, we will try to give you a brief description on Shimonoseki, the city where we are based, just to change the air!
