Abekawa, Abe-Kawa 安倍川 / 阿部川 - place names

- quote
The Abe River (安倍川 Abe-kawa, also Abe-gawa)
is a river in Shizuoka Prefecture of central Japan. It is 53.3 kilometres (33.1 mi) long and has a watershed of 567 square kilometres (219 sq mi).

The river rises from Akaishi Mountains which stretch over the border between Yamanashi and Shizuoka Prefectures, and flows into Suruga Bay in the Pacific Ocean). It is known for its clear stream and forms part of the main water supply for Shizuoka city.



There are many hot springs at the river head, which is also known for its numerous landslides and for the Abe Great Falls, one of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls. Unlike the nearby Tenryū River and Ōi River are no dams on the Abe River.

Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu carried out extensive construction and formed the present route of the lower course of the river. Abekawamochi (安倍川餅, a mochi rice cake dusted with kinako (soybean flour) has been a local speciality of this area since at least the Edo period.

To the South of Asakusa Hongan-Ji 本願寺.
Since 1636 a lot of government workers called "o kobito shuu"　(okobito) 御小人衆 lived here, working for Metsuke office. At that time, the district did not have a special name yet. Since having no name was confusing as Edo grew, in the year 1696 it came under the directive of 細井九左衛門　Hosoi Kuzaemon, who gave it the name.
The leader of the Okobito, 川村太四郎　Kawamura Taishiro, had come from the Abekawa region of Shizuoka.
The ABE spelling changed from 安倍　to 阿部.

Magozoo Shrine　孫三稲荷神社 Magozo Inari Jinja
3 chome 19-7, Moto-asakusa
The record "Gofunai Biko" of the Edo era says this neighbourhood was called Abekawacho because a village shrine called "Magozo Shrine" at Abekawa in Shizuoka prefecture was moved to here.



A legend has been handed down in this district that at the end of the Sixteenth century, Tokugawa Ieyasu had a spiritual experience while traversing the river Abe allowing a man called Magozo to hold the bit of his horse. Later this man was found to be an incarnation representing Magozo Shrine located near the river Abekawa.

Another record "Machikata-kakiage" shows this shrine was attended by people living in the district and there was an enshrined wooden statue of about 10 cm in size.
The location of the original shrine in the Shizuoka prefecture is not known and all the records and building of this shrine here were completely lost due to the Great Kanto Earthquake and Tokyo air raids during World War II.
The present shrine was constructed by the neighborhood association and a festival is performed here annually in March.

kitsunemochi kudaya 狐持，クダヤ being posessed by a fox

kuda is a monster that likes to posess people.
It lived along the river valley of Kamanashigawa 釜無川、Fujigawa 富士川 and Abekawa 安倍川.
From the end of the Edo period toward Meiji there were many tales about a fox posessing people (kitsunemochi), and the people who got posessed were driven out of the villages.
Around 1667 a creature called "Fox with seven colors" 七色狐 showed up in the village, went to the great Fushimi shrine in Kyoto 京都伏見 to get an amulet and then read the Hanya Shinkyo sutra 大般若経 in the village temple to expel the fox.

Surugadai Ogawa-cho ezu
This area used to be called Kandadai, however after the Genna Era (1615-24), retainers of the Tokugawa Clan moved here from Suruga no kuni　(now Shizuoka), and it came to be called Surugadai. The top provided a good view of Mount Fuji in Suruga, so there is a theory that this is the origin of the name of the area.
The entire area was a soil borrowing pit, and the soil taken from the plateau was used to landfill Nihonbashi and Shibashi. In addition, the Kanda-gawa River was dug between here and Hongodai. From the Meiji Era, the former sites of the residences of the direct samurai retainers of the Tokugawa shogunate were used to construct Meiji University, Nihon University and Chuo University, and the area became a students' quarter.

Kanda-Surugadai 神田駿河台 Kanda-Surugadai
is a district of Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan. It was so named because after Tokugawa Ieyasu's death in 1616, the Edo government let officials from Sunpu　駿府 (now Shizuoka) live in the area.
Kanda-Surugadai is often called Surugadai (駿河台 Surugadai) or, colloquially, Sundai (駿台 Sundai).

It is named after the view of Mount Fujisan that was similar to the one in Suruga no Kuni, Shizuoka.
Since Suruga was the birthplace of the founder of the Edo Government, Tokugawa Ieyasu, this street was of special honor to the Edoites.

Ando Hiroshige

Suruga Province 駿河国 Suruga no kuni
was an old province in the area that is today the central part of Shizuoka Prefecture. Suruga bordered on Izu, Kai, Sagami, Shinano, and Tōtōmi provinces; and was bordered by the Pacific Ocean through Suruga Bay to the south.
Its abbreviated form name was Sunshū (駿州) Sunshu.
. . . During the Edo period, Suruga prospered due to its location on the Tōkaidō, and numerous post towns developed. For defensive purposes, the Tokugawa shogunate forbid the construction of bridges on the major rivers of Suruga Province (such as at the Ōi River), which further led to town development on the major river crossings.

During this period, the major urban center of Sunpu remained a tenryō territory, administered directly the Shōgun by the Sunpu jōdai, and several smaller feudal domains were assigned to close fudai retainers.

Doll Making in Saitama
Japanese dolls, traditional crafts well known for their delicate and graceful beauty, are popular souvenirs for overseas travelers. Did you know that nearly half the number of Japanese dolls sold in Japan are manufactured in Saitama?

The production of dolls has been going on since long ago in Saitama, which has been blessed with plentiful paulownia wood as material for dolls and water of good quality to dissolve the white pigment used to paint dolls.
Dolls are produced in Iwatsuki, Kounosu, Tokorozawa, and Koshigawa in Saitama, among which Iwatsuki and Kounosu are the largest production areas; dolls produced in these areas are famous nationwide. The main streets in town are lined with doll manufacturers, which look as if they were doll-dedicated streets. People visiting these places will find that each store is crammed with dolls manufactured by artisans who put their hearts and souls into their creation.
Iwatsuki and Kounosu are famous for their dolls' festivals as well including the Bikkuri Hina Matsuri (lit. Surprise Japanese Doll Festival), which features Japan's highest tiered doll stand, and the Iwatsuki Festival, which features pleasant Manto Mikoshi (a lighted portable shrine) and doll costume parades.
The two areas of production hold these doll-related festivals to boost the production of traditional dolls in Saitama.

Hammer (gennoo 玄能 )

A kanazuchi hammer 金槌(かなづち) has two sharp sides.

A sakikiri 先切り has one sharp and one round side.
Pin Hammer or Nail Hammer


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


The gennoo type is double-faced and has two round sides. It is used to split rocks or to hit the back of a chisle. It is basically a tool for stone workers.

Legend says that the priest Gennoo was the first to use such a hammer.
玄翁(げんのう)和尚が殺生石を砕いたという伝説に由来する.

Now it is also called
"Daruma Hammer" daruma gennoo ダルマ玄能.




This one has an inscription of the maker.

Japanischer Hammer (tsuchi)

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


Daruma - Sledge hammer
Genno - that's what the Japanese call these hammers. A whole page has been devoted to it not so much because of its function but because of its origin, for it has a quite individual character. The selective hardening of the actual hammering surfaces means that part of the recoil energy is absorbed by the slightly softer core. While one is hitting the work with the hammer one has the feeling that the stroke is more effective, and the reason is that less recoil affects the wrist.

In Japan, metal hammers are traditionally used even to hammer chisels; the right one for this is the 375 g hammer. It will of course be necessary to aim rather more precisely than with the wooden block. If you feel somewhat nervous of trying this, the Daruma should do the trick. It is an impressive hand hammer with a broad enough surface.

... Misogi Shūhō 禊修法 means to conduct one's own purification ritual by bathing in the sea, the river,
or by standing underneath a waterfall cascading at freezing temperatures.

mitarashi　御手洗
A place to one side of the approach to a Shinto shrine where visitors perform purification rites, including rinsing the mouth and washing the hands. Often a large rectangular basin or cistern is used to hold the water. A pipe supplies the water with a continual stream at one end. The pipe is sometimes concealed by a dragon's or snake's head.
The mitarashi has a roof but the sides are open.



Varying styles and degrees of elaborateness characterize this type of shelter. If a stream or river flows nearby, as at Ise Jinguu 伊勢神宮, it is used as the place for purification and is called mitarashigawa 御手洗川 (a river for purification rites).

Japanese Shrine Etiquette, How to do a Temizu
When entering inside a Shinto shrine, the visitor should perform a symbolic cleansing called temizu (from te "hand" and mizu "water" - water to purify the hands). This purification is considered indispensable before visiting the sacred area and it signifies the removal of evil and pollution. For the ritual, every shrine provides an ablution pavilion - chōzuya or temizuya - usually a stone basin filled with clear water, with wooden ladles.



How to properly perform temizu:
Take the ladle with your right hand, fill it with water and pour some water to rinse your left hand. Then, move the ladle to your left hand and pour water over the right hand.
Now, you take again the ladle into your right hand, cup the left hand, pour some water into it and use it to rinse your mouth.
Finally, repeat the rinsing of the left hand and place the ladle back.

If you pour water from the hand basin over your self, you will make a good career.

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

仏様に供えたご飯を食べると手が振るう。彼岸の中日に墓参りをすると墓が壊れる。３人で写真を撮るとそのうちの１人は死ぬ。竈の側で喧しく言うと気違いになる。薬を竈の方に置くと病気が長引く。刃物を竈の肩に置くと手が切れる。大根の鬚をとらずに漬けると難船する。箒で打たれたり、朝埃がかかったり、手水をかけられたり、鏡を仰向けに置いたり、切った爪を畳の上に捨てておくと出世できない。
