<b>Hariko 張子 Papermache Dolls</b> <br />
are probably the most common of all the Daruma dolls.<br />
Here is a quote from an article about the development of Daruma dolls in Japan:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">From the Tumbler Doll (okiagari koboshi) to the<br />
Tumbler Daruma (okiagari Daruma 起き上がりだるま)<br />
</span><br />
After the Period of the Warring States Japan reached a time of 300 years of peace under the Tokugawa regime. The Tumbler Dolls of papermachee first made in Kyoto, soon<br />
reached the new capital of Edo. The inventive townspeople of Edo painted a big black beard on the face of the old man and a visiting priest came to say: "Well, if this is not the face of Daruma Daishi himself!" The red robe was the traditional garb of a priest.<br />
<br />
Getting up after falling down was taken as a wish getting better for an ill person. It was also said that the stark red colour would ward off smallpox, so the red tumbler doll of Daruma would be the best present for a sick child. This one blessing was soon followed by others and developed into "Falling down seven times, getting up eight times"<br />
(nanakorobi yaoki 七転びやおき), turning into a blessing for many generations of the family line, good business and others.<br />
<br />
Thus Daruma got a firm place in the heart of the Japanese people and seemd to work for the good of people with six heads and six arms. The faith in him grew steadily and soon the dolls were sold at the New Years fairs at many local temples and the tradition to paint one eye for a wish started. You had to buy a new one every year, so the tradition expanded and we have to thank the founder of the Zen Sect for all of this.<br />

In Edo many papermachee dolls were made with a wiggling head.<br />
<br />
The dolls were also called<br />
<b>harinuki</b> 張り貫き and spread widely in the mid-Edo period.<br />
<br />
Many dolls were made with a special wish for the growth of healthy children and were sold at temples and shrines as amulets.<br />
<br />
Wet 和紙 <i>washi</i> paper sheets are pasted in layers on a mold. The glue (niwaka にわか) is made from natural material.<br />
The the mold is removed after drying. So the dolls are empty inside and not as heavy as their size suggests. <br />
The washi paper was mostly used paper and scraps.<br />
Once the forms are dried and stiff, they usually get a grounding of white with gofun 胡粉and can then be painted in all colors.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">nerimono </span>練り物 <span style="font-weight: bold;">"twisted" clay dolls</span><br />
made with clay or raw natural glue and chips of paulownia, leftover from woodcarving of furniture and other dolls. This paste is pressed into molds and later colored.<br />
<br />
Together with the nerimono from Iwatsuki in Saitama, they are the most popular "seasonal dolls" in Kanto.<br />
The tradition goes back to the clay dolls of Fushimi, Kyoto, and have been handed down in the Sekiguchi family 関口家, in the store Yoshimiya 吉見屋, since about 1580.<br />
<br />
The akamono are the most popular among the nerimono.<br />

the seventh of the sixty-nine stations of the Nakasendō highway connecting Edo with Kyoto during the Edo period. <br />
It was located in the present-day city of Kōnosu, Saitama Prefecture. <br />
The original Kōnosu-shuku was located in what is now the city of <b>Kitamoto</b>; however, when the system of post stations on the Nakasendō was formalized by the Tokugawa shogunate in 1602, the post station relocated to the north to its current location. <br />
The new location was approximately 18 ri, 8-chō from the starting point of the Nakasendō at Nihonbashi, or approximately 48 kilometers. <br />
It was 16.4 kilometers from Kumagai-shuku and 7.2 kilometers from the following Okegawa-juku. <br />
Due to the distance between Kōnosu-shuku and Kumagai-shuku, an <i>ai no shuku,</i> Fukiage-shuku was located in-between.<br />
The reason for the move is unclear today, but in its new location the Nakasendō was not the only road running through Kōnosu-shuku. It also had roads connecting to Matsuyama (present-day Higashimatsuyama), Nin (present-day Gyōda), and Kisaichi (present-day Kisai).
Most of the post station burned down in a fire in 1767, but was soon rebuilt.<br />
Per an 1843 guidebook issued by the Inspector of Highways (道中奉行, Dōchu-būgyō), the town stretched for about 1.9 kilometers along the highway, with a population of 2274 in 556 houses, and boasted one honjin, one waki-honjin, one tonya and 58 hatago.<br />
At the entrance to the post station is Shōgan-ji, a large temple in the Jōdoshū sect.<br />

They are made since about 130 years ago, when the first doll maker went to Miharu and started how to make them. He produced Daruma to improve his meager income from farming. Now the family tradition is in the fourth generation. Later after the war they started to make other kinds of papermachee dolls. A speciality is the use of the blue color. The face is a bit similar to the Miharu Daruma.<br />
Now the widow of the last craftsmen keeps the tradition.<br />

They come with the eyes painted in and stare at the enemy and bad luck until good fortune comes your way.<br />
The brows are like cranes, the beard in the form of a tortoise. The face is framed with a green pattern that looks like a dragon. It is thus used to protect from fire.<br />

<b>The Abukuma River (阿武隈川, Abukuma-gawa), </b><br />
with a length of 234 km, is the second longest river in the Tōhoku region of Japan and the 6th longest river in Japan. It runs through Fukushima Prefecture and Miyagi Prefecture, rising from springs in the peaks of the Nasu mountains, collecting water from tributaries leaving the Ōu Mountains and the <b>Abukuma Highlands </b>(阿武隈高地, Abukuma-kōchi), then emptying into the Pacific Ocean as a major river. <br />
The Abukuma River flows north through Fukushima Prefecture's Nakadōri region, past the cities of Shirakawa, Sukagawa, Kōriyama, Nihonmatsu and Fukushima. The portion of the river flowing between Nihonmatsu and Fukushima forms a deep ravine called Hōrai-kyō (蓬莱峡).<br />

The famous poet Io Sogi (Soogi, Sougi 飯尾宗祇 いいおそうぎ) on his way to a poetry meeting for linked verse in Northern Japan met a poor girl here selling cotton. When he started talking to her, she answered him with a perfect waka verse. He felt quite ashamed at this and went back to Kyoto without attending the poetry meeting.<br />

那珂湊 津波<br />
<br />
The scenes of destruction were especially frightening because they were far from the worst-hit areas. Nakaminato is on the southern edge of the worst devastation from the 8.9-magnitude quake and the tsunami it spawned, which swept away whole villages farther north. Nakaminato sits about 155 miles south of Sendai, the city that bore much of the brunt of the tsunami.<br />
Before the shaking and the waves hit, Nakaminato’s buildings had a worn-out look; the town had been left behind by the country’s industrial buildup and by the young people who headed for thriving cities. The mostly aging population made its living mainly from fishing; the heart of the community was a fishing co-op on the waterfront.<br />

<br />
<em>question from a friend</em> <br />
<br />
So my question is, <br />
<span style="font-size:130%;">do you know anything about small celluloid figures that depict scenes from Japan? <br />
</span>I have collected 14 or so, the most common seems to be a geisha in a ricksha pulled by a man, other common themes are boats containing geisha or the immortals, and I have one wonderful one showing a man walking on a waterwheel to turn it and a woman carrying a yoke over one shoulder with buckets hanging from it. <br />
Are these tourist items, I wonder, <br />
or do they have some function in Japanese culture, on girl's day, perhaps? <br />

These automata were first made between 1870 - 1920 at the port city of Kobe and sold along the docks as a cheap sailor's souvenir. All Kobe have moveable parts - eyes, tongues, heads, etc. These toys were activated by a knob on the side of a box containing the mechanism (older dolls had hand-crafted mechanisms). They play musical instruments, do gymnastics, drink sake, and etc. These are all hand-crafted one-of-a-kinds. <br />
<br />
These figures have moon shaped faces and are created from polished ebony or blackened wood with pieces of bone or ivory accents. They may represent or be inspired by the black sailors who first arrived at Kobe around 1868. Rarely you can see a "blonde" wood version of a Kobe doll. <br />

These are tiny toys! The largest known Kobe toy is 6-1/2" long and has 12 animated functions. <br />
The early, hand-crafted Kobe toys up to c 1920 are the rarest and most valuable. Kobe toys were copied during the 1920's and 1930's by manufacturers/ importers and these are still collectible but not as finely made so therefore they are less rare and less desirable. Less valuable are the more modern manufactured copies. <br />

<span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Celluloid Dolls</strong> <br />
By Denise Van Patten, </span><span style="font-size:78%;">About.com Guide <br />
</span> <br />
When celluloid was invented and first came to prominence in the 1870s, dolls were nearly all breakable and fragile--bisque and china dolls were easily shattered and papier mache and wax easily ruined. So, it wasn't a surprise that doll companies started experimenting with celluloid to mold dolls rather early on. By the early 1900s, celluloid dolls were plentiful, since celluloid was easily molded and generally inexpensive. <br />
<br />
<strong>Sizes and Characteristics of Celluloid Dolls :</strong> <br />
Celluloid dolls can vary in size from only an inch or two tall to as large as 30" for large Japanese celluloid baby or toddler dolls. However, most celluloid dolls tend to be smaller dolls due to the lightweight nature of the plastic and also due to its fragility. <br />
<br />
<strong>Companies That Produced Celluloid Dolls:</strong> <br />
Companies in Germany, France, Italy, Japan and the United States are among the hundreds that have produced celluloid dolls. <br />

<span style="font-size:78%;">quote <br />
</span>Most Japanese celluloid doll makers focused on mass producing small, inexpensive carnival- type dolls, so it isn‘t very often that collectors find good quality sturdy examples of babies or toddlers. There were a few firms, however, that made a limited quantity, and although these cannot compare with the high quality of French and German baby dolls from the same period, they do deserve to be recognized. <br />
<br />
<strong>Sekiguchi</strong> was one of the largest and most prolific manufacturers of celluloid toys in Japan. The company was founded in 1918 by <strong>Moto and Tomokichi Sekiguchi </strong>for the sole purpose of manufacturing and exporting dolls to the United States. Their most recognized creation is a variation of the <strong>Kewpie,</strong> which they called <strong>Cupid</strong>. Later, during the 1920s, the naked carnival type <strong>Boopie </strong>doll became popular. Often these were decorated with brightly colored feathers or crepe paper costumes and exported in great number to the United States where they sold for mere pennies. <br />
<br />
On occasion, sturdy Japanese toddler or baby dolls can be found with the trademarks of Sekiguchi (a three lobed flower) the Royal Company, Ltd. (a fleur-de-lis) and <strong>Sato Sankichi </strong>(SS inside rhombus). Often these are made in the likeness of Baby John, a doll which became so popular it was produced in a variety of sizes by a number of different manufacturers. <br />

Most of these dolls have beautiful flower designs.<br />
These charming dolls are characterized by the bright colors and soft expression. The art of these clay dolls began in the 18th century after studying Kyoto's Fushimi Dolls and Sendai's Tsutsumi Dolls.<br />
Each doll is adorned with a spring flower pattern of plum and peony blossoms.<br />

<b>Hanamaki (花巻市, Hanamaki-shi) </b><br />
is a city located in Iwate Prefecture, Japan. As of 2005, the city has an estimated total population of 106,414. Hanamaki is most famous as the birthplace of Kenji Miyazawa and for its onsen. <br />
Kenji Miyazawa was born in Hanamaki in 1896, where he spent most of his life. Miyazawa’s invented Esperanto word Ihatov refers to Iwate prefecture in general, and is agreed to refer more specifically to Hanamaki itself.<br />
<br />
One of Hanamaki's most notable events is the <b>Hanamaki Matsuri</b>, an annual festival which takes place the second weekend of September and dates back to 1593. <br />
The three-day festivities include a dance of over one thousand synchronized traditional dancers; the carrying of over one hundred small shrines; and the parading of a dozen or so large, hand-constructed floats depicting historical, fictional, or mythical scenes and accompanied by drummers, flautists, and lantern-carriers. Of these dances, the most famous is Shishi Odori (dance of the deer). This dance involves men dressing as deer and banging drums.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hanamaki Dolls</span>, along with Sendai’s Tsutsumi and Yonezawa’s Sagara, are counted as one of the three major doll-types of Tohoku. Although production ceased for a time because of a lack of craftsmen, a local toy producer and the city cooperated to revive the traditional doll-making techniques.<br />

<br />
<br />
Jirochoo was a yakuza, but later helped greatly to build the harbor of Shimizu.<br />
One of his kobun was Mori no Ishimatsu, a straighforward guy, who lost one eye in a fight.<br />
<br />
Jirochoo asked Ishimatsu to go to Kompira in Shikoku and repost a sword that he wanted to offer to the gods.<br />
So off he went and his adventures are here<br />

(1820-1893)<br />
<br />
Japanese-style gangster (Yakuza). Born in Shizuoka, the adopted son of his uncle Jirohachi Yamamoto, who was a komedonya (middleman-merchant dealing in rice). Although his real name was Chogoro Yamamoto, he was called "Jirocho," which was short for "Jirohachi's Chogoro". He took over the komedonya after his uncle's death but soon turned into a gambler.<br />
<br />
He built up his following and extended his influence, fighting over territories relating to the Fuji River and maritime transport. In the first year of the Meiji Era (1868), he was appointed <em>Dochu tansakugata</em> by the Government-General of the Eastern Expedition. In the same year, the warship Kanrin-maru of the old Edo Shogunate was attacked by new government troops while lying at anchor in the Shimizu harbor. Jirocho treated and buried the dead with sincere condolence and became acquainted with Tetsutaro Yamaoka, Takeaki Enomoto, and others.<br />
<br />
After the Meiji Restoration, he engaged in development around the foot of Mt. Fuji and marine transportation business.<br />

<strong><span style="font-size:130%;">The storytelling of "Mori no Ishimatsu"<br />
</span></strong>Enmado no damashi-uchi, the surprize attack at Enma Temple Hall<br />
<br />
<strong>Kodan</strong> is also known as <strong>Koshaku</strong> こうしゃく(講釈), which means the reading and explanation of religious texts. It began with readings and lectures of a teacher, reading from a text on a stand. These texts would include Buddhist, Confucian and Shinto classics, or edifying stories from Japanese or Chinese history. By the 18th and 19th centuries, Kodan became a type of entertainment performed in Yose variety theaters.<br />
<br />
A storyteller sat at a desk (a reminder of the days when Kodan performers were supposed to be reading from precious texts) and would alternate between explaining the story as an omniscient narrator and taking different roles as a dramatic play. The climax of a story would often be a fight scene in a shotgun style punctuated by beats of a fan or wooden blocks. This speaking technique is the most distinctive feature of Kodan. An adaptation of this speaking technique in Kabuki can be heard in the spoken sections of Kanjincho.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>達磨 DARUMA</b></span><br />
From ancient times, Japanese common people have delighted in the culture of engimono (good luck charms). Decorations, foods, talismans, festivals, and even performance artists at festivities can be engimono.<br />
<br />
Traditional limbless dolls called Daruma are very popular Japanese engimono. Daruma imitates the zazen (seated) posture of Bodhidharma, the founder of a Zen Buddhist sect, who sacrificed his mobility over nearly a decade of meditation. A Japanese proverb <i>Nana-korobi ya-oki </i>can be literally translated “If you tumble down seven times, stand up eight times.” (Life is full of ups and downs.) Attributed to Bodhidharma, this proverb has come to symbolize the perseverance of Japanese people. Since Daruma dolls are designed to return to upright position if tipped over, they personify the spirit of Nana-korobi ya-oki.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=www.ana-cooljapan.com+daruma&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=zs6xU9yDKIXfkwXytYD4CA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg&biw=1680&bih=921#imgdii=_" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUdvZXx1zNof9Xgy4b0mxVNjCOsPKdwyR7DiVSo1cHGFu_NDmD4leGqyKolgpYkL1yxibtqsrKVxvsLhTqKJ8bcJwnJoCViKauBTVMecpKOEDbYdCdm3Nk3jyMbCDGpxjpkkQX7Q/s1600/fb+imai+shop.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
The heart of this culture is in Takasaki-shi, Gumma Prefecture, where about 80% of Daruma dolls are produced. <b>Hiroyuki Imai</b>, a third-generation representative of Imai Daruma Shop founded 80 years ago says, “I’m hoping that people can accept hardship and sadness with gratitude by greeting Daruma (meaning Bodhidharma) every day. I want people to remember that every day is uniquely precious.”<br />
<br />
Daruma-ichi (Daruma market) is held in Takasaki on January 6 and 7, drawing over 200,000 visitors each year. People visit this place and purchase Daruma to express gratitude for safety in the past year and hopes for good fortune in the coming year. Daruma dolls accept people’s wishes and watch over their daily lives with affection.<br />

This curiously limbless, traditionally red-cloaked figure with unpainted eyes is used for personal dedication to a new venture such as starting a business, beginning a new path in life, or given as a gift for celebrations like New Years, weddings and birthdays. Painting in DCTO’s left eye shows commitment to a goal; once the goal is achieved, you then paint in DCTO’s right eye.<br /><br />DCTO (‘dik-toe’) is designed to right itself when it is knocked over, reflecting the Japanese saying, ‘Nanakorobi yaoki’, ""Fall 7 times, rise 8 times”. This reminds us that no matter the number of times we may stumble, those with a persistent heart will rise again to achieve their goals, symbolizing relentless dedication and an undaunted spirit.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinW-QhdWXWAUHpxoLtahdDg9qG7Zp3p0JT7rv5SQLw5pHPBPOARTlzbfdQtCqderZTqKgHQbUlV7gCfW9L3d4zLjxlVwaL8DKqZp6niRQn3ygYSVhPynIoUuJ2ARdorXQZjaZraw/s1600-h/078+Plastic+Art.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220891371153053650" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinW-QhdWXWAUHpxoLtahdDg9qG7Zp3p0JT7rv5SQLw5pHPBPOARTlzbfdQtCqderZTqKgHQbUlV7gCfW9L3d4zLjxlVwaL8DKqZp6niRQn3ygYSVhPynIoUuJ2ARdorXQZjaZraw/s400/078+Plastic+Art.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.myplasticheart.com/pc/DCTO06GID/001NEWRELEASES/DCTO+Jibun+Project+:+GID+Ghost"><span style="font-size:85%;">© PHOTO : www.myplasticheart.com </span></a><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;">Dacosta Bayley: The Art of the Daruma</span></strong><br />“People tell me that the eyes of my characters seem to draw them in,” artist Dacosta Bayley says. “The expressions on their faces communicate an honest and welcoming soul.”<br />“Ancient wisdom is finding relevance in contemporary times, and people are becoming more aware of themselves and of new possibilities for improving themselves,” Dacosta says. “It’s exciting for me to be a part of that as the DCTO: Jibun Project brings Zen to new eyes.”<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">May 2008</span><br /><a href="http://chocolatesoop.com/Studio/DCTO_Jibun_Project.html"><img style="WIDTH: 378px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 203px" alt="CLICK for orinigial LINK Jibun Project" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8j_6RcGDuoN1PiWFAsua16hJ88NmiCQnDuRwRHhzifcJzISBtpfIEGA4pmqiKYGd5SE6atlEEWAghe_dzYOKqfh982Z3m11P6HxNrNCdsOSOXaei0dX6REPxiq1XaGNWO7ZG3nA/s400/093+dcto+three.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.myplasticheart.com/pc/DCTO06GID/001NEWRELEASES/DCTO+Jibun+Project+:+GID+Ghost">source : DCTO Jibun Project </a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://images.google.co.jp/images?hl=en&q=DCTO%20Jibun%20Project%20&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi">CLICK for more photos !</a><br /><br /><br />:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://janmstore.com/dreamstodreams.html"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 309px" alt="CLICK for original LINK" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhesI_JyGMV8blF6skfymsZ79jYCZ2Z_Sxc5kdINVkI9sk_Uczs14K6Zhp6x0wVKM4RRdVJgxC6YcPZaZ3yASscLUTIuq3GqBqyjV2qui4ijc4O1HXqQB3fzq1fse6Ns51iI7jZJw/s400/091+dcto+pamphlet.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"><strong>Dreams to Dreams<br />Custom Vinyl Toy Show</strong></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">December 2, 2008 – to January 25, 2009</span><br /><br />The <strong>Japanese American National Museum</strong> in association with Dacosta of Chocolate Soop bring you the first custom vinyl toy show in a museum.

He has the eyes painted in a special way below the eyebrows so when you put him high up on the Gods Shelf in the home (kamidana) he will look down on you and grant your wishes (Shitami Daruma).<br />
<br />
The dolls are also called “Shitami Daruma” or “Yokozawa Daruma” corresponding to the villages where they are made.<br />

Takeda Shingen was the eldest son of the aggressive warlord Takeda Nobutora (1493-1573).<br />
He was Lord of Shinano and Kai Provinces. He was a preeminent daimyo or feudal lord with military prestige who sought for the control of Japan in the late stage of Sengoku or "warring states" period.<br />
He was born Takeda Tarō (Katsuchiyo), but was later given the formal name of Takeda Harunobu.<br />
Shingen is sometimes referred to as "The Tiger of Kai" for his martial prowess on the battlefield. His primary rival, Uesugi Kenshin, was often called "The Dragon of Echigo" or also "The Tiger of Echigo Province". In Chinese mythology, the dragon and the tiger have always been bitter rivals who try to defeat one another, but they always fight to a draw.<br />

Erin-ji 恵林寺 is a quiet Zen temple surrounded by the Yamanashi mountains. It was built in 1330, when Nikaidō Sadafuji the military governor of the Kai-no-kuni administration asked the Zen priest and garden designer Musō Soseki (夢窓 疎石), also known as Musō Kokushi, to found the temple.<br />
<br />
At that time, it was a Rinzai Zen temple of the Engaku-ji branch. It was destroyed in the Ōnin war (1467-77), but rebuilt when the Takeda samurai clan appointed it to be their family temple. In 1541, it changed to be a temple of the Myōshin-ji branch of the Rinzai school. The famous daimyo <b>Takeda Shingen </b>(武田 信玄) is buried here. <br />

Ainu (アイヌ) (also called Ezo in historical texts) are an ethnic group indigenous to Hokkaidō, the Kuril Islands, and much of Sakhalin. There are most likely over 150,000 Ainu today; however the exact figure is not known as many Ainu hide their origin due to racial issues in Japan. In many cases, surviving Ainu may not be even aware of their ancestry, as their parents and grandparents kept their descent private in order to protect their children from social problems.<br />
<br />
Their most widely known ethnonym is derived from the word aynu, which means "human" (particularly as opposed to kamuy, divine beings) in the Hokkaidō dialects of the Ainu language; <b>Emishi, Ezo or Yezo (蝦夷)</b> are Japanese terms, which are believed to derive from the ancestral form of the modern Sakhalin Ainu word enciw or enju, also meaning "human". The term Utari (ウタリ) (meaning "comrade" in Ainu) is now preferred by some members of this minority.<br />

<b>Japan to formally recognize Ainu as indigenous people</b><br />
<br />
Both houses of the Diet unanimously approved a resolution on Friday urging the government to officially recognize Ainu as indigenous people.<br />
The House of Councillors <br />
and the House of Representatives voted in favor of the resolution at their respective plenary sessions on Friday.<br />
On behalf of the executive branch of the government, <br />
Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura declared that Japan will formally recognize Ainu as indigenous people.<br />
The government is set to establish a panel on Ainu to consider their indigenous rights after it officially recognizes them as indigenous people.<br />
The move will likely represent <br />
a drastic change in Japan's policy of not recognizing Ainu's indigenous rights and putting top priority to the development of Hokkaido where a large population of Ainu has been concentrated since the Meiji Era.<br />

<b>enju</b> えんじゅ【槐】 is the Japanese pagoda tree, or<br />
Chinese scholar tree.<br />
Styphnolobium japonicum, Sophora japonica<br />
<br />
It is a play on words with<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">long life, enju えんじゅ【延寿】.</span><br />
<br />
The inscription reads: <br />
幸福招く Kofuku maneku (Inviting happiness) <br />
縁寿達磨 Enju (celebrating connection/relationship) Daruma <br />
There seems to be pun on 縁寿 Enju and 槐 Enju tree. <br />
<br />
This tree grows widely in Hokkaido.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">Styphnolobium japonicum (L.) Schott, the Pagoda Tree </span><br />
(Chinese Scholar, Japanese pagodatree; syn. Sophora japonica)<br />
is a species of small tree or shrub in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae.<br />
The tree is is one of the 50 fundamental herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine.<br />
It has abortifacient, antibacterial, anticholesterolemic, antiinflammatory, antispasmodic, diuretic, emetic, emollient, febrifuge, hypotensive, purgative, styptic, and tonic properties.<br />
<br />
The Chinese character for the tree (<span style="font-size: 130%;">槐</span>) is composed of the parts for<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">木 ("wood") and 鬼 ("demon"). </span><br />
In folklore, it is said that a cowherd once built a home out of this species of tree, and within a month his entire family was suddenly found dead, with no signs of foul play. It was therefore believed that demons are drawn to this tree and it is therefore not appropriate to use its wood to build homes. In addition, in the wild, other species of trees rarely grow near it.<br />
