Tragedy on Miyajima: 1,200-Year-Old 'Eternal Flame' Hall at Mt. Misen Destroyed by Fire

On the morning of May 20, 2026, a fire broke out near the summit of Mt. Misen on Miyajima Island in Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture—a site recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage island. The blaze completely destroyed the "Reikado Hall" of Daishoin Temple, which enshrines the "Eternal Flame" (Kiezu-no-hi), a sacred fire associated with the Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi (Kukai). Despite a large-scale emergency response involving eight fire engines and helicopters, which succeeded in bringing the fire under control by 10:35 AM that day, the loss of the historic building has left the public in shock. Reikado Hall is a vital cultural structure that serves as the repository for the "Eternal Flame," which is said to have burned continuously for approximately 1,200 years since Kukai first lit it during his ascetic training.

2021 Japan Derby Winner Shahryar (5-Year-Old Stallion) Retires from Stud Duty

It has been revealed that Shahryar (5-year-old stallion), winner of the 2021 Japan Derby, has retired from stud duty. This unusually early retirement, coming just this year after he began his career as a stallion, has sent shockwaves through the horse racing fan community. The primary reason for his retirement was an extremely low conception rate. In his first year of breeding, he covered 74 mares, but ultimately, only 7 conceptions were confirmed, a severely challenging situation. Given this exceptionally low rate, discussions among those involved led to the decision that it would be difficult for him to continue as a stallion. Information circulating suggests that a testicular disease may be the cause, and there are indications that standard stallion insurance might apply, or that he may be re-purposed. On social media, numerous posts express shock and sadness, with comments like "So sad," "Far too soon," and "Is it even possible for a stallion to retire this...
