Prof. K. Takayanagi

Kenjiro Takayanagi (高柳 健次郎 Takayanagi Kenjirō, January 20, 1899 in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka – July 23, 1990 in Yokosuka) was a professor of faculty of engineering at Shizuoka University  and a pioneer in the development of television. He built the world’s first all-electronic television receiver, and is referred to as “the father of Japanese television”. In 1925, Prof. Takayanagi began research on television and developed the first “all-electronic” television system to display the received signal by using a cathode ray tube . On December 25, 1926, he successfully demonstrated his system at Hamamatsu Industrial High School ( is now the Faculty of Engineering at Shizuoka University). The first picture he transmitted was of the Japanese katakana character 「イ」.

Sukura(樱花🌸)

Cherry blossom is the symbolism in Japan. Normally, Sukura  blooms in spring ( ~from the the end of Mach to the beginning of  April). The peak bloom is so beautiful that people go to  “Hanami”- A centuries-old cultural practice of picnicking under a blooming sakura.
樱花是日本的象征。一般在3月底或4月初,一片叶子也没有的樱花开满树枝。此时,正是赏花的好时光,3~5成群的人们会带来酒跟食物,在树底下赏花. 这种赏花的习惯已有上百年历史,在日语里称为“花见”。

Hamamatsu Campus

The center of Hamamatsu campus of Shizuoka university.  You can see the pure-blue sky all over the year.
这是静冈大学滨松校园的中心。校园虽不大,但是布局合理。春天来了,可以看到满开的樱花。夏天来了,紫薇花会让人想起中国古代翰林院里紫薇郎(翰林们)在满园的紫薇树底苦读的身姿。秋天一到,桂花满园飘香,让人想起美丽的传说蟾宫挂桂。冬天虽然寒冷,但是盛开的茶花及梅花,会让人忘却冬天的寒冷。校园里永远蓝蓝的的天空,让人无限遐想…
