- quote
Kawagoe Festival 川越祭り
Held for two days on the 3rd Saturday and Sunday of October, the Kawagoe Festival is Koedo-Kawagoe ’s liveliest event of the year. Famed for its Kurazukuri (traditional architecture) zone, this city is one of the Kanto Region’s foremost sightseeing spots, and it attracts large numbers of visitors each year.

- Hikkawase
The Kawagoe Festival’s biggest highlight: ‘Hikkawase’
As they face each other, the several festival floats compete with each other in a hayashi performance (a traditional Japanese orchestra comprised of flutes, drums, handbells and dancing), cheered on by the excited voices of festival-goers holding aloft paper lanterns.
The excitement reaches its climax with the evening ‘Hikkawase’.
The Kawagoe Festival has developed both by maintaining a history of over 360 years as an invaluable town festival that preserves the style and elegance of the Edo "Tenka Matsuri", as well as by adding its own unique Kawagoe features.
In 2005, the festival was designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property under the title of ‘Kawagoe Hikawa Festival Float Event’

Shirakawa Daruma 白河のだるま - 白川だるま
Iwaki Daruma 岩木、いわきだるま

These dolls have a history of more than 160 years. They are sold at the annual Daruma Market on February 11. Daruma made north of Shirakawa all have the black eyes painted. White ones are for bringing good luck, red oned are for avoiding evil influences.

They have a tradition of more than 160 years. You can paint the eyes for good luck. They come in different sizes and red or white. The Daruma in the picture next to it is from Iwaki.



Look at some nice pictures here:

いわき市は大平洋に面した広域都市です。その中心となるのが城下町から発展した「平」の町で、いわき張り子はこの町で作られています。 張り子の製作には多量の和紙が必要となるため、江戸時代に反古紙が多く出る城下町で始められたといわれています。張子人形師が六と記された江戸中期の記録が残っています。 その主なものは「だるま」と「天狗面」ですが、虎、おかめの面なども作られてきたようです。

Shirakawa Daruma Market 白川だるま市

Shirakawa town has been a market place since the Kamakura period and the present-day Daruma market developed from an old "Flower Market" in January; it is now held on February 11th, on the National Holiday for the Founding of the Constitution. There are more than 800 stalls, about 150.000 Daruma dolls are produced locally and about 150.000 people visit the market. Daruma dolls come in 18 different sizes, mostly with all the auspicious symbols we have just seen above at Jindai-ji. The biggest is 75 cm and the smallest 8 cm.

The village of Shirakawa 白河郷
is famous for the roofs of the old farmhouses, strong to bear a lot of snow. This sight is a World Heritage.


http://www.shirakawa-go.org/english/e_world.html

The houses in the villages in the valley are unique to Japan. They are very big, and have thick thatched roofs that come down steeply. This way the snow can slide off the roofs. There is also enough space under the roofs to store supplies for long winters. The inhabitants of these villages used to earn their money in the silk-industry. They lived a very secluded life. In Japanese, the houses are called Gassho-zukuri. Gassho means praying hands, suggesting the form of hands raised in prayer to the buddha. Here it refers to the triangular shape of the roof.

The Old Farmhouses
Once the center of the silk trade in Japan, these houses are now kept as examples of the gassho-zukuri (prayer-shape) style of architecture used in some mountainous parts of rural Japan. Extended families lived on the first two floors, while the upper story sheltered the silkworms brought over from China. (Silk traveled east from China, too, along the Silk Road.) Cooking and heating fires permeating the upper story kept it at an ideal temperature for sericulture even in the coldest winters. The smoke protected the cocoons while discouraging wood-boring insects. The silk was sold to expert kimono-weavers in Kyoto and Edo (the old name for Tokyo), and became a key item of Japan's exports. So important was the silk trade to Japan that Dupont's invention of Nylon in the 1940s was deemed to have strategic value by the US Government. Nylon stockings foreshadowed the end of the silk trade as an international business.

Every ten years or so, the thatch roof of a gassho-zukuri house must be replaced, and this work requires the help of neighbors. Even as the economic mainstay of Shirakawa has shifted from silk to tourism, the community work system remains intact today. Shirakawa is actually only one of several villages, and others such as Gokayama and Ainokura have their own uniquely recognizeable styles of construction. Located in valleys where the wind direction is predictible, the houses are generally oriented with their narrow sides facing the wind, giving the villages the look of a schoolroom of alert students when viewed from above. Summer brings a plague of bus tours; winter is much less crowded and is the best time to wander around freely. Several of the gassho-zukuri houses serve as country inns, minshuku where one can stay overnight at reasonable cost. These offer a great chance to experience both the cold of winter and the warmth of an old country inn.

かつて 近江八幡の勧修寺YHにお世話になっていた頃に能登川の駅の近くで張子の達磨を作っている人がいるよと聞いて伺ったことがありました寺井さんといわれる方で 伺った時には 体調が悪いという事で奥様が対応してくださいました素朴な味わいのある可愛い起き上がりと言う感じの達磨さんでしたそのとき頂いたのは全て女だるまばかりで男だるまは在庫が無いという事で手に入れることが出来ませんでした長い間 ユースホステルに置いたままになっていたこの達磨たちも最近 やっと整理しなおし 名前も近江八幡YHとなったユースに滋賀県代表で小幡人形と共に鎮座しています

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The history of Oomi Daruma
Ohmi Daruma have been made since the Taisho period by Mr. Terai of Notogawa.

「近江だるま」は大正時代末に能登川町佐野出身の寺井大門氏が製作を始めたとされています。
「近江だるま」には漫画的な表情を持つ「男だるま」と上品に微笑む「女だるま」、そしてかわいらしい表情の「姫だるま」の三種類があります。「近江だるま」の表情は京都の伏見人形の影響を受けているとも考えられています。大津絵についても中仙道を通じて伏見人形の影響を受けていると考えられており、「近江だるま」と大津絵には共通した表情の面白さを感じ取ることができます。





「近江だるま」は二度の世界大戦中には縁起物(転んでも起き上がるだるまなので)として戦地に送られることが多かったようです。しかし、大門氏が亡くなると同時に「近江だるま」の伝承は一時期断絶してしまいました。その後、大門氏の作成しただるまの魅力に惹かれ、全国各地の郷土玩具の収集家が「近江だるま」の復活を強く望むようになりました。大門氏の作成しただるまの一番の魅力は、その表情にありました。きりっとした表情の裏に、どこか「困ったなぁ」とでも言いそうな、なんとも表現し難い表情を持っていたのです。そのような魅力をもっただるまを復活させたのが大門氏の子息の清二氏になります。多くの収集家が待ち望んだ「近江だるま」の復活だったのですが、清二氏は不慮の事故により他界されてしまい、残念ながら「近江だるま」の伝承もそこで途絶えてしまうことになったのです。そのため、現在では幻の郷土玩具となり大門氏の作品は能登川町立博物館で大切に保管されています。

The Great Shrine at Mishima
三嶋大社、三島大社 Mishima Taisha


It is not clear exactly when and by whom the Shrine was founded , though it seems to have already existed in the Nara Period (710-794). Records indicate that the 55th Emperor Montoku (827-856) conferred an official rank on the Shrine in 850 and the 56th Emperor Seiwa (850-880) upgraded the rank in 859. At one point, it held the No. 1 position of the shrine list in the Izu Peninsula and it still retains the status as the most authoritative in the area.

In the Edo Period (1603-1868), Mishima became an important post-town of the 503-kilometer-long Tokaido Highroad connecting Tokyo to Kyoto. Travellers who were to go over or came down from the 15-kilometer-long steep Hakone mountains usually stayed in Mishima, and the Mishima post-town prospered with a horde of tour groups. Under the Tokugawa Shogunate rule, Daimyo, or feudal lord, of each prefecture had to live one year in Tokyo and the next in his home prefecture leaving his family in Tokyo as hostage.

On the occasion that a Daimyo went up to Tokyo or came back home for the alternate-year residence system, an entourage of more than 100 men followed him, making a long line of procession. This system helped develop traffic flows throughout Japan and the Tokaido Highroad was the busiest one. (Daimyo's travel was so gorgeous that even today, travelling in a very expensive way is dubbed "Daimyo travel.")
Really, Mishima was one of the most popular post-towns of old-time 53 stages on the Highroad.

Ōyamatsumi [Ōyamatsumi no kami] (Kojiki)(Nihongi)
According to Kojiki, one of the deities produced as Izanagi no mikoto and Izanami no mikoto gave birth to the land (see kuniumi). According to an "alternate writing" transmitted by Nihongi, Ōyamatsumi was produced from one of the three pieces into which Kagutsuchi was cut by Izanagi.

The term yamatsumi means a spirit dwelling within a mountain, with the result that the name Ōyamatsumi means a great deity with jurisdiction over mountains. Shrines to kami with this name can be found throughout Japan.
In Japanese folk religion, the kami of any given mountain is sometimes called Ōyamatsumi, as is the spirit of someone who has died within the mountains; in many cases, cairns of stones are erected as a place of worship.

Contribution from Robert Yellin
Joys of Japan, February 2012



Once--or twice--a year at Mishima Shrine there's a pottery festival;
the local azuki-yomogi sweet they sell is called Fukutaro


quote
Mishima Pottery
Most styles of Japanese pottery are named after the city or area where they are made, while others bear a family name, such as Raku. However, one style of pottery is named after a place that has nothing do to with its production -- the Mishima style (slip-inlay style).

As far back as 1636, there was a certain calendar published at the Grand Shrine of Mishima (Mishima Taisha) written in little squiggly kana lines. Because the "rope curtain" designs of 15th-16th century Korean Punch'ong stoneware resembled the lines of the calendar, works of this pattern came to be known as Mishima.

The Mishima name may be 17th century, but the style itself goes back to Korea's Koryo Period (935-1392) when bowls decorated in this way were known as Korai-jawan or Korai tea bowls. These were inlaid with various motifs such as floral and animal depictions. A potter would incise the design in the body, fill it in with contrasting colored clay or slip and then cover it with a transparent glaze. This technique peaked in Korea in the 12th-13th-century Koryo celadons, deemed "first under heaven." It's also referred to as zogan. Another inlay style is called reverse inlay. This is where the potter cuts away the background, leaving the design in relief, then the background is brushed over with a slip and the excess is scraped away.



Other styles of Mishima ware include:

Hori Mishima (carved)
Ko Mishima (old)
Mishima Koyomi-de (calendar-"rope curtain")
Mishima-hakeme (white-slip brush)
Hagi Mishima
Karatsu-Mishima
