This temple hasa been founded by 北山公章 Kitayama Kosho in May 1957.
The new pilgrimage to 88 henro temples in honor of Kobo Daishi had been started a year before this, with the wish for world peace and safety on the road.

A bronze statue of Kobo Daishi (yakuyoke Daishi 厄除大師) of about 7 meters hight has been erected.

There is also a stone statue of Kosodate Mizuko Kannon 子育水子観音 to pray for children and abortions.

The main statue is Dainichi Nyorai 金胎両部大日如来.
In the Daishi Hall 大師堂 beside Kobo Daishi is a special statue of Namikiri Fudo 浪切不動明王.
This statue had been at 百沢寺 Hyakutaku-Ji and is probably more than 800 years old.

In recent years, statues of Yakushi Nyorai薬師仏 and Kujaku Myo-O 孔雀明王 have been added too.

Daifuku 大福 "Great Luck" Sweets

- quote
Daifukumochi (大福餅), or
Daifuku (大福) (literally "great luck"),
is a Japanese confection consisting of a small round mochi (glutinous rice cake) stuffed with sweet filling, most commonly anko, sweetened red bean paste made from azuki beans.



Daifuku comes in many varieties. The most common is white-, pale green-, or pale pink-colored mochi filled with anko. These come in two sizes, one approximately 3cm (1.2in) diameter, the other palm-sized.
Some versions contain whole pieces of fruit, mixtures of fruit and anko, or crushed melon paste. Nearly all daifuku are covered in a fine layer of corn or potato starch to keep them from sticking to each other, or to the fingers. Some are covered with confectioner's sugar or cocoa powder.
Though mochitsuki is the traditional method of making mochi and daifuku, they can also be cooked in the microwave.
Mochi and daifuku are very popular in Japan.

Daifuku was originally called habutai mochi (腹太餅) (belly thick rice cake) because of its filling nature. Later, the name was changed to Daifuku mochi (大腹餅) (big belly rice cake). Since the pronunciations of fuku (腹) (belly) and fuku (福) (luck) are the same in Japanese, the name was further changed to Daifuku mochi (大福餅) (great luck rice cake), a bringer of good luck. By the end of the 18th century, Daifuku were gaining popularity and people began eating them toasted. They were also used for gifts in ceremonial occasions.

"yukimi daifuku petit three colour box" 雪見だいふくプチ3色 Yukimi Daifuku Puchi San-iro

Yukimi Daifuku (雪見だいふく)
"snow-viewing daifuku"
A brand of mochi ice cream made by the company Lotte.

It consists of a ball of vanilla ice cream wrapped in a thin layer of mochi, or rice cake. Lotte originally created Wataboshi (Japanese: わたぼうし "cotton hat or capped with snow"), a bite-size ice cream wrapped in a thin layer of marshmallow in 1980. Marshmallow was quickly replaced by mochi because it is more popular in Japan and the company perfected a technology to keep mochi soft at freezing temperature in 1981.
...
Yukimi is a seasonal activity in Japan, similar to hanami, consisting of watching snow falling. The name is a word play (goroawase) upon tsukimi daifuku (月見大福, "moon-viewing daifuku"), the sweets traditionally eaten while viewing the moon.

we must differentiate between the "Haiku Season" and the natural phenomenon and human activites occuring at a certain season at a certain place.

To complicate our endeavor, we also have to deal with the Asian Lunar Calendar and the 24 seasons (periods), which were applied in Japan before the introduction of the Western Calendar, when kigo were already used in Japanese poetry.

MINGEI - Serizawa Keisuke

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

Serizawa Keisuke 芹沢鮭介
(1895 - 1984)

quote
a Japanese textile designer.
In 1956, he was designated as a Living National Treasure for his katazome stencil dyeing technique by the Japanese government. Serizawa visited Okinawa several times and learned the Ryūkyū bingata techniques of dyeing. Serizawa was also a leading member of the mingei movement founded by Yanagi Sōetsu. His folk art includes kimono, paper prints, wall scrolls, folding screens, curtains, fans and calendars.

Serizawa has also produced numerous masterpieces in illustrated books including Don Quixote, Vincent van Gogh and A Day at Mashiko.
In 1981, the Municipal Serizawa Keisuke Art Museum was opened in the city of Shizuoka. Another museum, the Serizawa Keisuke Art and Craft Museum was opened in 1989 in Sendai.

"The distinguishing trait of Serizawa's katazome method is the use of the starch mixture to create, not a colored area as is current in direct-dyeing process, but a blank, undyed one that forms a part of the pattern and that can later be colored by hand in multi-color or monochrome as the designer sees fit."

Keisuke Serizawa - Kataezome Calendar Folios

Keisuke Serizawa produced kataezome calendar folios starting with calendar year 1946. The 1946 calendar is shown in the catalogue for the 2001 exhibition of Serizawa's work held in Scotland.



These calendar sets (one page for each month) are stenciled on handmade untrimmed Japanese mulberry paper. The page size is generally 28.6 x 37.2 cm - 11 1/4 x 14 1/2 in. They usually contained in a mulberry paper sack or thick cardboard (also mulberry paper) folding case. On the front of the sack or folding case is pasted on a illustrated stenciled label with the year of the calendar. These labels are rectangular. In addition to illustrations, they contain the year and the word "Calendar" (spelled correctly).

I believe that K. Serizawa calendars can be distinguished from other similar calendar folios by Japanese characters within a hexagonal design found on the label on the sack or folding case (see "Serizawa Marks" below). However, the absence of such a mark does not mean a calendar folio was not produced by Serizawa. In some instances it is possible to attribute a calendar folio to Serizawa by notes on the sack or folding case or through inserts placed loose inside the folio. I have not identified the Serizawa mark on any individual calendar.

with more calendar samples from 1952 until 1979.
and a long list of further information, books about Serizawa etc.


Keisuke Serizawa - The Stencil Artist - Volume 1, 1967
Tokyo, Tsukiji Shokan Publishing Company, Ltd, distributed by the Maruzen Co., Ltd, 1967, large 8vo (9 x 11 1/2 in - 22.8 x 29.2 cm), gilt decoration on covers and gilt lettering on spine, 92 images of Serizawa's work (12 color and 80 black and white), photograph of Serizawa, unpaginated.

Issued with card slip case but no dust jacket. The work covers all facets of his work including scrolls, wall hangings, folding screens, hanging pictures, kimono, obi, kimono cloth, noren and examples of stencil paper used to dye works. The book reads Japanese style from front to rear. The plates and photograph of Serizawa are followed by 16 pages of Japanese text which includes an image by image descriptive caption for the 92 items. This is followed by a Japanese language colophon.



The color plates are tipped in and are produced utilizing the color halftone process. The black and white plates are produced by the halftone process also. Some pages have more than one image per page and some images span two pages. Each image is assigned a number and has a descriptive caption in Japanese. The front of the book has an English language title page and a two page discussion of Serizawa and his work. This is followed by a five page "Listing of Plates" with the number of each image and an English descriptive caption. The book appears to be the first in a set but I have not been able to confirm subsequent volumes were published. Several of the images relate to Okinawa.

...  Shogoin-Monzeki Temple ... The town around the temple looked different from usual. It looked crowded and the booths of the Yatsuhashi Japanese sweets lined. Junteido Temple, one of the sub-temples of Shogoin-Monzeki has an annual event called Godairiki-san which is worship for five bosatsu Buddha statues on February 23rd.



You can see a little different costume from the usual monk's one at this temple. The costumed people are called Yamabushi, who walk, walk and strive for training in the mountain. This is one of the Buddhism training. They usually dangle the triton from their waist. Shogoin-Monzeki Temple is the head temple of Yamabushi worship.

On this day, free kasujiru miso soup with sake is served. You can enjoy an unique winter event and be warm up!

Yatsuhashi Kengyō 八橋 検校
(1614–1685) was a Japanese musician and composer from Kyoto. The name Kengyō is an honorary title given to highly skilled blind musicians.

Yatsuhashi, who was born and died in Japan, was originally a player of the shamisen, but later learned the koto from a musician of the Japanese court. Originally restricted to the court, Yatsuhashi is credited as the first musician to introduce and teach the koto to general audiences. He is thus known as the "Father of Modern Koto."

He changed the limited selection of six pieces to a brand new style of koto music which he called kumi uta. Yatsuhashi changed the Tsukushi goto tunings, which were based on tunings used in gagaku, and with this change a new style of koto was born. He adapted the Hirajoshi scale and the Insen scale for the koto, from the shamisen repertoire.

Yatsuhashi is also credited as the composer of the important koto solo piece Rokudan-no-shirabe (六段の調, Music of Six Steps), although he may not actually have composed it himself.

Zur Einführung
Nicht mit Unrecht wird Japan als das „wunderbare Sonnenland" bezeichnet; denn neben seinen wirklich wunderbaren Naturreizen bieten Kunst und Literatur, ganz besonders die des Altertums, eine schier unerschöpfliche Fundgrube nicht nur für den wissenschaftlichen Forscher sondern auch für den Schöngeist und für den Freund eines reinen Volkstums. Gar reich, und nicht hinter der deutschen zurückstehend, ist die japanische Märchenwelt, aus der ich hier eine Auswahl zusammengestellt und für die deutsche Jugend bearbeitet habe.

Es ist dies meines Wissens das erste Werk, das aus dem reichen Märchenschatze Japans der deutschen Jugend eine sorgfältig zusammengestellte Auswahl bietet; mag auch das eine oder andere hier und dort einmal irgendwo veröffentlicht und dadurch bekannt sein, so ist dies doch meistens zerstreut in Zeitungen, Zeitschriften oder wissenschaftlichen Werken in wörtlicher Übersetzung erfolgt und nur für Erwachsene geeignet.

Keine jener Veröffentlichungen ist von mir benutzt worden oder hat mir als Vorlage gedient, sondern lediglich die japanischen Ausgaben und mündliche Erzählungen der Japaner; deshalb enthält das Vorliegende auch viele Fabeln und dergl., die nur im Munde des Volkes leben, von denen sich also in der Literatur selbst keine Spuren finden.

Da dieses Buch der deutschen Jugend gewidmet ist, mußten bei der Auswahl und Bearbeitung größte Sorgfalt 4 aufgewendet und manche Stellen verändert, fortgelassen oder durch andere ersetzt werden, um das ganze dem Verständnis der Jugend anzupassen, dies umsomehr, als die Originale oft eine derart freie Sprache führen, daß man sie, unserem deutschen Moralempfinden entsprechend, nicht jedermann in die Hand geben kann.

Durch Beifügung erläuternder Anmerkungen, historischer Daten usw. dürfte dieses Buch einen über den Rahmen einfacher Märchenlektüre hinausgehenden Wert gewinnen.

Besonderer Dank sei an dieser Stelle den Herren Dr. Miyauchi, Ohno, Nakamura, Hajime Iwane und K. Nakamatsu für ihre liebenswürdige Beihilfe zu diesem Werke; auch dem Herrn T. Tokikuni, der die farbigen Bilder zeichnete, während die übrigen älteren und neueren japanischen Werken entnommen sind.

Möge daher diese Gabe, die ich der Jugend in meiner deutschen Heimat von hier aus dem fernen Osten, aus dem Lande der aufgehenden Sonne biete, gern angenommen werden und Beifall finden.

Tokyo.
Karl Alberti.

DARUMA - YUKO-CHAN

......................................................................






YUKO-CHAN AND THE DARUMA DOLL
- SUNNY SEKI

Yuko-chan and the Daruma Doll, a gorgeous book by author/illustrator Sunny Seki, takes readers on a journey into ancient Japan and the story behind the famous Daruma Doll.

Yuko-chan, an adventurous blind orphan, is able to do amazing things. She confronts a burglar in the dead of night, and crosses treacherous mountain passes to deliver food to hungry people. During her travels, Yuko-chan trips and tumbles down a snowy cliff. She discovers a strange thing as she waits for help: her tea gourd, regardless of how she drops it, always lands right-side-up. The tea has frozen in the bottom of the gourd! Inspired by this, she creates the famous Daruma doll toy, which rights itself when tipped—a true symbol of resilience.

Thanks to Yuko-chan's invention, the villagers are able to earn a living and feed themselves by selling the dolls. Yuko-chan never gave up, no matter the obstacles she faced, and the Daruma doll is a charming reminder of the power of perseverance.
