致道博物館 Chido Museum

I'm sorry but I need to copy this over from Reddit

og post

article I copied from

(additional info from u/Doodlebug510 in the comments)

'from the article:

In the meantime, though, the stuffed animal rotates between different desks in the office, keeping various employees company during their shifts, and should the owner never be found, it looks like the Chido Museum is more than happy to let Donald stay with them permanently if need be.

In another article also dated 2018, Donald received a companion in the form of a brand new Daisy Duck stuffed animal:

Also included in the package was a Tokyo Disney Resort postcard with a handwritten message which read: “To Donald, who’s been all alone for 30 years, here’s Daisy, who’ll be a friend to you from now on.”

The museum hasn’t revealed who sent the package...'

here's some extra pics from the museum's Twitter 'cause I'm thoroughly obsessed with this

KATANA DAY!! at Chido Museum (Shinano Toushirou DISPLAY)

Dates: 13-14.May.2017

Official website: http://www.chido.jp/ Address: Tsuruoka (Yamagata Prefecture) 山形県 〒997-0036山形県鶴岡市家中新町10-18

Collaboration with Touken Ranbu & Souvenirs:

I hated how much travelling requires planning, and how its preparation takes both physical and mental endurance. All of that until I started working. This weekend was a long one, and just yesternight I decided impromptu to go to Tsuruoka, far north of Yamagata, without any plans. Took the night bus, and just that I felt weirdly satisfied how I am able to deviate from my monotonous everyday routine.

I challenged myself to go around the city without relying on the internet. I literally didn't, and turned out I found some temples and a municipal museum. I also found a national historic landmark called Chido-kan, and it is if not one of the oldest samurai and Confucius schools in Japan, established back in 1805.

The Chido-kan was formerly a school attended by the samurai children of the Shonai Domain which governed Tsuruoka during the Edo Period. It was established primarily to reform the values of the samurai which had become decadent.

While the Edo Shogunate pushed for the Cheng-Zhu school of Neo-Confucianism which emphasized moralism, the Chido-kan adopted the Sorai school of Confucianism which emphasized developing abilities dependent on one's own personality. The academic ethos of the Chido-kan is still carried on in the educational philosophy of Tsuruoka today.

It was interesting how much I learned about Japan's educational philosophies without having it as my intention for travel. Maybe I'll do more of this kind of impromptu trips in the future.

Now I'm reading my favorite book of Bertrand Russel while waiting for my bus going back to Yamagata. I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

A Japanese museum, Chido Museum, has been caring for a child’s lost stuffed animal for the last 30 years! Recently they even gave it a bath and made new clothes for it.

hi!! not sure if you're willing to answer this kind of question but i'm going to be visiting ireland for the first time ever in a couple weeks and i was wondering if you had recommendations for things to do in dublin! or what is overrated and should be skipped, etc. if you don't want to answer this, plz ignore, and if you do, thank you for your help!!

Things to do

Trinity and the Book of Kells (make sure to go into the old library)

Kilmainham Gaol if you’re into history

I resent the Leprechaun museum but it’s actually a funny experience

Vintage shopping in siopella (temple bar) or dublin vintage factory (smithfield)

I personally prefer jameson distellery to guinness because I like whiskey but both are good, overpriced though so go on a weekday and be sure to book in advance 

Go to phoenix park (you might see deer) or bring some food to eat in stephen’s green

Go for an afternoon to howth and/or dun laoghaire pier

Have an evening at the Vintage Cocktail Club, an old speakeasy style place (be sure to book in advance for this!)

The little museum of dublin is a nice experience 

It’s the cheesiest thing every but the ghost bus tour at night is really fun

Also the dublin event guide is good to see what’s going on for the time that you’re here, there’s lots of festivals and events at this time of year!

Avoid

Don’t generally eat or especially have your night’s out in temple bar, you’re just paying a lot more for drinks to be around crowds of tourists with bad entertainment

Walk down grafton street for the buskers but don’t bother with shopping, it’s the same as any other high street

I’m sure it goes without saying but don’t do the hop on/hop off bus tours

Just please don’t go for a night out to copper’s

Food

Brother Hubbard (north on capel street), Umi for falafels, Dublin Pizza Company or Cirillo’s for pizza, Pickle for indian food (expensive but amazing!), K Chido for mexican food, the Fumbally. My biggest food rec is Sophie’s for bunch but make sure you book, gives lovely views of the city!

Dessert - Augier Danger for doughnuts, Murphy’s for ice cream, Camerino for brownies 

Nights out

Gay bars - Pantibar and the GeorgeLate night out - Workmans and PygmalionTraditional Irish - Toner’s and Doyle’s

致道博物館 (Chido Museum)

The Chido Hakubutsukan in Tsuruoka, Yamagata was founded by Lord Sakai, the former daimyo of the Shonai district, in 1950, wanting to develop and improve local culture. He donated his properties and established the Chidokan, the shonai Clan’s Samurai school. Numerous　examples of classical calligraphy, woodcraft and ceremonial sake barrels are preserved in Goinden, his old retirement residence.

ああ、児童館の忘れ物なのか（館がmuseumに訳されてる。Chido だと致道館だけど多分 Jido の間違いじゃないかな）
