明智光秀が主人公の大河ドラマ「麒麟がくる」の放送がついにスタートした。光秀といえば、「敵は本能寺にあり！」と叫び、本能寺の変で信長を討った裏切り者というイメージが強い。しかし近年の研究では、優れた能力が評価され、人間性が見直されている。大河ドラマでどのような人物として描かれるのか、楽しみなところだ。 光秀に関する史料はほとんどなく、その前半生は謎に包まれている。出まれた年もはっきりせず、出生年には1516（永正13）年、1528（享禄元）年などいくつかの説がある。出生地は、美濃国（岐阜県）とするのが定説。岐阜県内でも可児市、恵那市、山県市、大垣市などいくつもの候補地があるが、大河ドラマでは現在の可児市にあたる明智荘の出身として描かれる。今回は、可児市の明智城を、光秀の前半生を追いながら紹介しよう。
▲©️大畠順子 ニッポンの「離島」がおもしろい 島国である日本は、多くの離島に囲まれています。その数、おおよそ6800。そのうち人が住んでいる島は約400島ほどになると言われています。 たったひとりで日本の離島を旅することをはじめ、その魅力の虜になってしまった女性がいます。 大畠順子（おおはた・じゅんこ）さん 1983年生まれ。群馬県出身。離島女子ひとり旅の先駆者で、普段はラジオ局に勤務する普通の会社員。2011年より日本の離島ひとり旅をスタート。さまざまな離島旅を実践し、旅先で得た経験をブログや書籍などで発信している。 大畠さんは、この夏にこれまで訪れてきた30の離島への旅の経験をまとめた『離島ひとり旅』（辰巳出版・刊）も刊行。 離島をひとりで旅することの醍醐味（だいごみ）、インパクトがありすぎて忘れられない思い出の食べものなど、ユニークな旅のエピソードを聞いてみました。 離島ひとり旅
As a wine lover with an active imagination, I’d always pictured the French wine harvest as a cross between “Sideways” and “I Love Lucy,” a sun-drenched bacchanal featuring boozy lunches en plein air, rosy-cheeked peasants crushing fruit with their bare feet, and a bit of insouciant grape picking. But on my first morning of a week spent working in a Champagne vineyard, the clouds hung low and leade
IT'S a brilliantly clear day and you are walking along the waterfront, the faint scent of salt in the air. A string of verdant islands is off in the distance. Sailboats and pleasure craft glide by, sunlight bouncing off their hulls as they make their way through the choppy waters. You turn your face toward the summer sun, taking in its warmth, and start looking for a place to grab a cold beer. Wai
HISTORICALLY, Boston looms large, but geographically it's just a bean of a town: 51 square miles, with more than 20 distinct neighborhoods crammed cheek by jowl, with pricey Beacon Hill and gritty Chinatown facing off across Boston Common, high-brow art museums just a stroll from Fenway Park. That rich density makes even a short walk rewarding, and the beginning of the end of the Central Artery-Tu
In the International Center for Photography, large images of 1970s America by Stephen Shore.Credit... Matthew Weinstein for The New York Times THINK of New York City as photography's oyster. As a subject, photographers have been endlessly attracted to its streets (Lee Friedlander), night life (Weegee), world-famous skyline (Berenice Abbott) and all the refracted angles in between. As a place to vi
YOU'VE worn Memphis's cotton, moved to its rhythm, sung its blues. Elvis Presley found his sound in this bluff city; B.B. King took his name, the Beale Street Blues Boy, from its 1940's entertainment district. "Home of the blues," the city now likes to trumpet, "birthplace of rock 'n' roll." But these cultural revolutions, and the African-American milieu that spawned them, got no respect until Elv
WHAT makes a great walking city? The American Podiatric Medical Association and Prevention magazine ranked Philadelphia one of its top 12 nationwide, in part because it has the highest podiatrist-per-capita ratio in the United States. But a more realistic definition might be that it is a place where you can easily and quickly get from one attraction to another -- but you don't really want to. Pote
BROOKLYN should need no introduction: ancestors of as many as one in four Americans are said to have once called it home. But New York's most populous borough -- with about 2.5 million residents representing more than 90 ethnic groups -- has always been shadowed by its glamorous neighbor across the East River. Thriving a century ago, Brooklyn fell off the map around the time the Dodgers went Holly
TELL a coworker that you're headed to Pittsburgh for the weekend and the response might be a puzzled stare -- or a cock of the head that signals readiness for the punch line. But there are plenty of reasons to visit Pittsburgh, which has transformed itself from a sooty industrial blight into an inviting city of technology and finance. It has a stunning collection of grand museums, like the Carnegi
This is a digitized version of an article from The Times’s print archive, before the start of online publication in 1996. To preserve these articles as they originally appeared, The Times does not alter, edit or update them. TRAVEL on the open ocean has always suggested a potent blend of romance, mystery and adventure, three words not automatically associated with New Jersey. Yet that's the unseen
THOUGH in New York State, Rochester is geographically and temperamentally closer to Cleveland than it is to Manhattan, with a decidedly Midwestern character. (In 1993, a survey by California State University at Fresno declared Rochester residents to be the ''most helpful'' among those in the 36 United States cities studied.) The local cuisine revolves around deep frying, charbroiling, hot dogs (ca

Yes, there are worries about 401(k)s and mortgage payments — and perh
By Shibuya station, pedestrians cross the street.Credit...Kosuke Okahara for The New York Times Japan’s population may be skewing older, leading the global march to demographic gridlock, but Tokyo feels like a city powered by the young. Sophisticated and sprawling, with half a dozen city centers that long ago grew together, it combines the life force of a national capital of everything — politics,
