Ainu Daruma ... アイヌだるま


This is a present from my friend Ishino.


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




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.

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; Emishi, Ezo or Yezo (蝦夷) 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.

Japan to formally recognize Ainu as indigenous people

Both houses of the Diet unanimously approved a resolution on Friday urging the government to officially recognize Ainu as indigenous people.
The House of Councillors
and the House of Representatives voted in favor of the resolution at their respective plenary sessions on Friday.
On behalf of the executive branch of the government,
Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura declared that Japan will formally recognize Ainu as indigenous people.
The government is set to establish a panel on Ainu to consider their indigenous rights after it officially recognizes them as indigenous people.
The move will likely represent
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.

Daruma from Enju Wood エンジュ達磨




enju えんじゅ【槐】 is the Japanese pagoda tree, or
Chinese scholar tree.
Styphnolobium japonicum, Sophora japonica

It is a play on words with
long life, enju えんじゅ【延寿】.

The inscription reads:
幸福招く Kofuku maneku (Inviting happiness)
縁寿達磨 Enju (celebrating connection/relationship) Daruma
There seems to be pun on 縁寿 Enju and 槐 Enju tree.

This tree grows widely in Hokkaido.

Styphnolobium japonicum (L.) Schott, the Pagoda Tree
(Chinese Scholar, Japanese pagodatree; syn. Sophora japonica)
is a species of small tree or shrub in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae.
The tree is is one of the 50 fundamental herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine.
It has abortifacient, antibacterial, anticholesterolemic, antiinflammatory, antispasmodic, diuretic, emetic, emollient, febrifuge, hypotensive, purgative, styptic, and tonic properties.

The Chinese character for the tree (槐) is composed of the parts for
木 ("wood") and 鬼 ("demon").
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.

Saru - Monkey

[ . BACK to Daruma Museum TOP . ]

Saru, Monkey with Daruma さる　猿　申　

In Japan, monkeys are a symbol of wisdom.

The Details are HERE :
By the time Buddhism reached Japan (mid 6th century AD), the monkey and monkey lore were already common elements in Buddhist legend, art, and iconography. Thereafter, monkey worship in Japan grew greatly in popularity, especially among practitioners of Taoist Kōshin rites introduced from China and among followers of Tendai Shintō-Buddhism, the latter centered around the syncretic Tendai shrine-temple multiplex located at Mt. Hiei (Shiga Prefecture, near Kyoto).
Some scholars believe the famous three monkeys -- speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil -- originated in Japan in association with Mt. Hiei and the sacred monkey of the Hie Shrine (Hie Jinja 日吉神社; also called Hiyoshi Taisha 日吉大社).

Papermachee Doll

This piece measures 3.5" tall. A charming monkey is holding an equally charming Daruma as if holding onto good luck for you. The gold letter calligraphy on the back of the piece reads "Good Luck." The condition of this piece is very good and the age of this piece is from the 1960's.

Monkey reaching for the moon
Ogata Gekko 尾形月耕 (1859-1920)

The monkey is reaching
For the moon in the water.
Until death overtakes him
He’ll never give up.

If he’d let go the branch and
Disappear in the deep pool,
The whole world would shine
With dazzling pureness.
