September 2011
Prime-minister Noda, likening himself to loach fish,
says charisma isn't everything
Japan's next prime minister admits he is no Mr Charisma — Yoshihiko Noda likens himself to a marine bottom-feeder rather than a glittering goldfish. But that, he says, is his appeal.

quote from Japan Times


Loach comment boosts folk dance
MATSUE, Shimane Pref. —
New Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has given a boost to folk dancers and officials promoting the traditional "dojo sukui" (loach-scooping) comic dance in Yasugi, Shimane Prefecture, after recently comparing himself to the stream-dwelling fish.
The preservation group Yasugi-bushi Hozon Kai,
set up in 1911, hopes to see a sharp rise in the dance's popularity, said fourth-generation grand master Oito Watanabe, 66.
On the centenary of its founding, the group, which has about 4,000 members in 68 branches from Shimane Prefecture in the west to the Kanto region, wants to build on Noda's remark at special events, including a commemorative performance later this month in Tokyo, Watanabe said.
Yasugi officials said they also hope to capitalize on the prime minister's comment through increased sales of cultured loach, for which the city is renowned, and greater patronage of the local theater dedicated to the dance.
Noda likened himself to the humble fish in a speech prior to Monday's Democratic Party of Japan leadership election, quoting an aphorism,
"A loach does not have to emulate a goldfish,"
by calligrapher and poet Mitsuo Aida (1924-1991).

Kaze no Kami okuri 風邪の神送り Seeing off the deity of catching a cold
Rakugo story, told by 3代目桂米朝、8代目林家正蔵など。

In the Edo period many people lost their lives catching a cold.
If there was a bad cold epidemy in town, people performed a ritual to send the Deity off. They made a small paper figure of the deity and carried if off to the border of their village or town with music of drums and gongs. The paper figure could also be floated away in a river or at the beach.
Once a group went to do that and chanted
"Let's see him off, fast, let's see him off, the Deity of catching cold!"
But there was one person in the village who regretted this act.
It was the local kusuriya 薬屋 drugstore (or the local doctor).
Once the villagers came together to sent the Deity off with great effort, floating it down the river, but 夜 that night it got caught in the ami 網 net of a fisherman and thus came back.
What had happened?
It got caught at night (yo 夜) in a net (ami 網) - a pun with yowami 弱み weakness.

Amabie アマビエ

- quote -
Amabie (アマビエ)
is a legendary Japanese mermaid who allegedly emerges from the sea and prophesies either an abundant harvest or an epidemic. There are other mermaids and mermen known by other names but considered identical.
The male amabiko (アマビコ, 天日子) or amahiko (尼彦, あま彦, 天彦),
the amahiko-nyūdo (尼彦入道), and
the elusive arie (アリエ)..


CLICK for more photos !

- Legend
Amabie appeared in Higo Province (Kumamoto Prefecture) according to legend, around the middle of the 4th month, in the year Kōka-3 (mid-May, 1846) in the Edo era. A glowing object had been spotted in the sea, almost on a nightly basis. The town's official went to the coast to investigate, and witnessed the amabie. She had a mouth like bird's bill, and was covered in scales from the neck down. Addressing the official, she identified herself as an amabie and told him that she lived in the open sea. She went on to deliver a prophecy: "Good harvest will continue for six years,
if disease spreads show a picture of me to those who fall ill and they will be cured." Afterwards, she returned the sea. The story was printed in the kawaraban (woodblock-printed bulletins), where her likeness was printed, and this is how the story disseminated in Japan.

- Similar yōkai
A yōkai creature considered identical to Amabie is the merman named Amahiko (尼彦), which reputedly appeared in the sea of Higo Province. This Amahiko resembled Amabie in that it also made predictions of bountiful harvests or pestilence, and prescribed displaying the picture of his likeness in order to avoid catastrophe. The Amahiko Nyūdo (尼彦入道 "the amahiko monk") of Hyuga Province (Miyazaki prefecture) was another creature considered of the same kind, who appeared and pronounced his prophecy.

A similar creature named Arie (アリエ) appeared in "Aoshima-gun" county, Higo Province, according to the Yamanashi Nichinichi Shinbun newspaper dated 17 June 1876, although this report has been debunked by another paper. The Yūbin Hōchi Shinbun dated 10 June 1876 also carried an article about Amahiko.

The three creatures share these common characteristics:
1) appearance from the sea, 2) prediction of good harvest and the plague, and 3) a solution of disaster by showing the apparition's picture, and on that account have been considered identical.

The Amahiko no Mikoto (天日子尊 the holy Amahiko) was spotted in a rice paddy in Yuzawa, Niigata, as reported by the Tokyo Nichinichi shinbun dated 8 August 1875.
The Yamawarawa (山童 the mountain child- Kappa) in the folklore of Amakusa is believed to haunt the mountains. Although neither of these last two emerge from sea, other similarities such as prophesying indicate they belong to the same kind.

下関・亀山八幡宮、アマビエ描いた御朱印郵送始める
新型コロナウイルスに対する不安を減らそうと、疫病退散に御利益があるとされる妖怪「アマビエ」を描いた御朱印が、山口県下関市中之町の亀山八幡宮で授与されている。御朱印は本来、参拝者に授与しているが、現在は境内に人が集まらないように希望者への郵送で対応している。
アマビエは、うろこに覆われた胴体や、長髪が特徴の半人半魚の妖怪。江戸時代に現在の熊本県沖に現れ、「疫病が流行したときは私の姿を絵に描いて人々に見せよ」と言い残して海に消えたとされる。ウイルス感染が拡大する中、芸能人やイラストレーターが疫病退散を願って描いたイラストをネット上に投稿したり、各地でグッズや和菓子が生まれたりしている。
亀山八幡宮は「（感染を懸念して）参拝を控える人たちの不安な気持ちが少しでも落ち着けば」と、アマビエの御朱印を発案。神職の見習いに当たる出仕の大鳥居奨（つとむ）さん（23）が宿直の夜にイラストを描いた。図案はアマビエがフグを持っている姿で、神職の竹中信彦さん（45）は「届いたら神社の方向へお祈りして、終息したときに参拝していただければ。疫病が去って福が来ることを願います」と話した。
フグを持つアマビエの御朱印
アマビエの御朱印は、他の御朱印（初穂料500～1000円）と一緒に授与している。郵送の申し込みなど問い合わせは亀山八幡宮社務所（083・231・1323）。

新型コロナ終息願う アマビエ像 Statue of Amabie
天草市の神社に、疫病から人々を守る熊本の妖怪とされる「アマビエ」をかたどった石像が祭られています。
石像は、天草市有明町の大島子諏訪神社の境内に今月１１日に祭られました。
石像は高さ４５センチで、墓石などに使われる灰色の「唐津石」を材料に、くちばしやうろこが立体的に作られていて、境内の参道横の、およそ１メートルの台座の上に祭られています。
神社の山浦一男宮司によると、明治時代、赤痢などの疫病がはやったとき、地域の人々がこの神社のそばにあった石神のほこらにサカキを供えて祈ったという言い伝えがあり、今回も新型コロナウイルスの一日も早い終息を願って、神社に石像を祭ることにしたということです。
参拝に訪れた人たちは、手を合わせたり頭をなでるなどして一日も早い終息を願っていました。
大島子諏訪神社の山浦一男宮司は「かわいらしい石像を手でなでるなどして和んでいただいて、心も癒やしていただければと思います」と話していました。

Settsu Province (摂津国, Settsu no kuni)
was a province of Japan, which today comprises the southeastern part of Hyōgo Prefecture and the northern part of Osaka Prefecture.
It was also referred to as Tsu Province (津国, Tsu no kuni) or Sesshū (摂州).
- History
During the Sengoku period, the Miyoshi clan ruled Settsu and its neighbors, Izumi and Kawachi, until they were conquered by Oda Nobunaga. The provinces were ruled subsequently by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The regents of Hideyoshi's son soon quarreled, and when Ishida Mitsunari lost the Battle of Sekigahara, the area was given to relatives of Tokugawa Ieyasu. It was from then on divided into several domains, including the Asada Domain.
Sumiyoshi taisha was designated as the chief Shinto shrine (ichinomiya) for the province.
During the Sengoku period
Settsu became the main exporting centre of matchlock firearms to the rest of Japan.
The Kohama style (小浜流, Kohama-ryū) of sake brewing
was practiced at the Kohama-juku (小浜宿) in the Amagasaki Domain of Settsu Province during the Edo period.

Kuwayama Jinja 鍬山神社 Kuwayama Shrine
京都府亀岡市上矢田町上垣内22 / Kamigaichi-22 Kamiyadachō


- quote -
Built in 709, Kuwayama Jinja was long protected by the feudal lords of Kameyama Castle.
This shrine's long history and close proximity to Kameyama Castle established a strong relationship between the feudal lords and the citizens of the town. It was also an ideal location for the fall festival (the Kameoka Festival held in October). It honors the Shinto God credited with creating the Tamba region in which Kameoka is located.
The area where Kameoka sits now was once a lake. It is said that a Shinto God dug a path through the mountains with a hoe, which drained the lake and became the Hozugawa River. This shrine is named after that act
(in Japanese, kuwa means "hoe" and yama means "mountain").
Registered as a national cultural asset, Kuwayama Shrine is famous for its maple trees. The leaves turn such brilliant colors in the fall that the shrine seems as if it is surrounded by fire.
