Um pescador japonês encontrou um tubarão raro, muito raro: o tubarão-cobra. Pré-histórico, está acostumado a viver a 600 metros de profundidade. Esta espécie, que se julgava extinta, tem cerca de dois metros de comprimento e habita águas em profundidades que vão desde 600 a 1000 metros. Tem uma importância económica reduzida (pesca). Um exemplar fêmea de Tubarão-cobra foi filmado em 24 de janeiro de 2007 numa raríssima aparição em águas pouco profundas do litoral do Japão, próximo à cidade de Shizuoka. No entanto, o espécime se encontrava em péssimo estado físico e morreu horas após ser coletado. Mas o peixe resolveu passear perto da superfície e foi filmado por especialistas. Ele é parecido com uma enguia e tem os dentes bem afiados.

A strong 6.5 earthquake rattled houses across Tokyo and surrounding areas early Tuesday. Public broadcaster NHK said 43 people were hurt in Tokyo and other areas, but none seriously. A strong earthquake jolted Tokyo and surrounding areas early Tuesday, disrupting transport and closing a nuclear plant for safety checks, but resulting in no reported fatalities. Public broadcaster NHK said 43 people had been hurt in Tokyo, Shizuoka and other areas, but none seriously. The magnitude 6.5 quake rattled houses across Tokyo and prompted the suspension of train services and the closure of highways for inspections, but there were no immediate reports of major damage. The area has been hit by heavy rain since Monday and the weather agency warned of possible landslides and flooding. The quake knocked products from store shelves and caused some structural damage, while Kyodo news agency said power was cut to 9100 homes. The main expressway down the Pacific coast was closed for damage inspection and many high-speech bullet train services were suspended for safety checks, NHK said. Chubu Electric Power halted operations at its Hamaoka nuclear plant after two reactors shut down automatically following the quake. A tsunami of up to 60 cm was recorded along the Pacific coast but the tsunami warning was later lifted. Earthquakes are common in Japan, one of the world's most seismically active areas, accounting for about 20 percent of the world's earthquakes of magnitude 6 or greater.

Belissimas ikebanas no Solo Sagrado de Atami, em Shizuoka. Visita dos amigos do Johrei Center, 2008. Ikebana â em japonês: ( çãè± ou ããã°ãª?), literalmente "flores vivas" â é a arte japonesa de arranjos florais, também conhecida como Kado (è¯é ou è±é) â a via das flores. A filosofia de Mokiti Okada, destaca que é essencial o desenvolvimento da nossa sensibilidade com relação ao belo para que o nível espiritual das pessoas possa se elevar em busca de um mundo com maior harmonia entre os seres. A Academia Sanguetsu de Vivificação pela flor, tem como objetivo principal a difusão desse ensinamento, através da arte milenar do Ikebana, onde a relação homem-natureza assume uma dimensão muito acima da questão puramente material. IKEBANA SANGUETSU Há séculos, os japoneses oferecem plantas e flores às divindades. A prática, que era inicialmente associada ao Budismo e aos Mosteiros Zen, se popularizou no Japão e transformou-se em parte importante da cultura do País. Assim, surgiram técnicas, estilos, escolas e regras que contribuíram para difundir a Ikebana, esta bela expressão artística. Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, cresceu o número de estilos espalhados em diferentes regiões do mundo. A arte da Ikebana Sanguetsu nasceu do amor à beleza da natureza. Seu objetivo é cultivar e elevar a sensibilidade das pessoas através da composição de arranjos florais, resgatando e realçando a beleza existente em cada flor: Despertar o ser humano para esse olhar é a proposta da Academia <b>...</b>

Anna Chan: A lion-cub trio has made its debut at a safari park in Japan. They're stealing the hearts of everyone who sees them. Let's take a look. Meet Japan's new little triplets. The Fuji Safari Park in Shizuoka welcomed the three male lion babies into the world when they were born five weeks ago. These tiny kitties have just learned to purr and waddle about, making their first baby steps in becoming the king of the safari world. Each cub now weights about three kilograms and has been growing quickly thanks to the extra care given by the zookeepers. They lap up milk from their trainers three times a day as their teeth are still too small to chew up any meat. While other park animals may pout at the full star treatment they get, the babies may deserve most of it. They are now the star attraction in the area. Ever since their first public appearance last Saturday, the park is filled with visitors trying to catch a glimpse of the new kings in the making. Young and old people queue in line waiting anxiously for their turn to hold the cubs in their arms. [Michiko Kawaguchi, Park Visitor]: "The cub was warm and soft, almost like my son when he was just born." [Michio Sekoguchi, Park Visitor]: "The baby was very adorable purring sort of like a frog saying ribbid ribbid ribbid. It was very cute." Visitors must purchase a five-dollar ticket at the park entrance to take a photograph with the little creatures. The park says tickets sell fast.
