HARUYA Naramachi
Origin of Japan
In KANJI character, “NARA” means “Show good things greatly”. This opposite word is “NARAKU”. It means “Hell” by saying “Show bad things greatly”. To summarize, “NARA” means “Heaven”, “Pure Land” in Buddhist philosophy, in Japan. “NARA” is the name that the Japanese ancestor made with a desire to make an ideal country at the time of the foundation. So, what Japan’s ideal state was? All of their aspirations and attempts remain in Nara, prefecture that has the most national treasure in Japan.
