Jusaburo Tsujimura:
Creating Dolls that Reawaken Long Lost Memories

Jusaburo Tsujimura is a doll and puppet maker who works on every aspect of the craft, from facial expressions and costumes to the puppetry itself. He started out making kabuki props, but became interested in puppets after receiving a commission to create some for a television show.

Jusaburo Tsujimura is one of most authentic doll artists in Japan. Most of his dolls are traditional Japanese in Kimono, but he also makes some western style dolles. They are so sultry as if they are really alive.
There is "Jusaburo" museum shop in Nihonbashi, Tokyo.
You can learn doll making there as well. If you have any chances to visit Tokyo, it is one of the places worth to take a look at.

By the way, Jusaburo is 80 years old men still very active and energetic ! He was born in 1933. Today one of Japan's finest doll-makers, he actively expands the scope of his art into areas such as costume design, direction, and script writing for stage and film. His performances have received high acclaim including those in America, Europe and Hong Kong.

不動明王と愛染明王の二つの顔を持った「両頭愛染明王」などの名称をもつ異形の像があり、高野山にもこれらの異形像が伝わっています。

密教には、金剛界と胎蔵界の二つの世界があります。簡単に言えば金剛界が智慧で胎蔵界が慈悲ですね。或いは、金剛界が理論または父親・胎蔵界が愛情または母親、ととってもいいでしょう。金剛界を代表する明王が愛染明王です。そして、胎蔵界を代表する明王が不動明王なのです。不動明王が理や智慧、父親であり、愛染明王が慈悲・愛情・母親であり、逆に守るものとして調和としてあるのでしょうか。

理想は、智慧と慈悲、理と情と分けるのではなく、その両者が合体したものですよね。それが、完璧な状態でしょう。その完璧な姿を現したのが、この両頭愛染なのです。智慧と慈悲、理論と愛情、父と母の統合型なのです。理想と愛情の狭間に悩む方、頭ではわかっているけど感情的にはどうも . . .と悩んでいる方は、この両頭愛染を拝むといいでしょう。

Aizen Myo-O 愛染明王 Aizen Myō-ō

C: http://www.sakai.zaq.ne.jp/piicats/aizen.htm

Read Mark Schumacher about Aizen in English.

Since the Heian period the most well known Myo-O beside Fudo.
He is considered an incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai, Kongoo Satta, Kongoooo and Kongooai Bosatsu.

In the Shingon sect he is venerated in special ceremonies, Aizenhoo 愛染法、Kyooaihoo 敬愛法.

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

- quote
Myoo identified with Dainichi Nyorai or Kongou Satta; The main vow is love and compassion; embodies the perfect state of spiritual concentration leading " Eearthly desires are spiritual awakening. For that, his countenance is full of wrath and violence, however, he has the original vow of great love in his mind.

He has three eyes and six arms carrying various weapons. The three eyes give the achievement of Buddha to common people of the three worlds. The body is red carrying flame of the sun on his back; vanquishes illusions.　His hairs are being stuck violently with wrath, and he is carrying a fluke with five hooks over his head; gives health and wealth.

Tenkyu aizen-Myoo
This deity is more popular these days among people because of the meaning of Kanji letter "Aizen" which means "dyed with love". He has an arrow aimed at the Heaven.
(tenkyuu aizen　天弓愛染)

Ryoto aizen-myoo
The another transformation of Aizen Myoo. Aizen Myoo and Fudou Myoo are Combined together holding their both head, meaning the both Myoo.
(ryootoo Aizen　両頭愛染)

[愛染明王の一夜護摩の修法]
愛染明王を本尊としその真言と印、そして明るい赤の衣と四角形の炉を用いて護摩を行うと愛染明王の一夜護摩の修法となり、敬愛や恋愛の達成、異性の獲得に驚異的に効果がある。この場合不動護摩の本尊段の乳木１０８本のところを１０８の赤い蓮の花にかえて用いて修法する。
尚、四角の炉を三角の炉に変えて調伏を行うと敵は修法者にさからえなくなり言うがままになってしまうと言われている。

敬愛法（愛染明王）（きょうあいほう）Kyooaihoo

おん　まからぎゃ　ばさら　うしゅにしゃ　ばさらさた（と）ば　じゃくうんばんこく　

密教の五種法、息災・増益・敬愛・調伏・鉤召のうち「敬愛法」（きょうあいほう）　がもっとも広範におこなわれたようです。　敬愛法には、「出世間法」と「世間法」の二法あります。　平安貴族や皇族の中には、出世のために相手を殺すような呪術として利用したものも　あるようです。しかし、一般的には「夫婦の不和の修復や、かなわぬ恋愛の成就、衆人　からの敬愛の獲得などを願って修されたようです。

「愛染曼荼羅」が、「敬愛法」の主本尊として祈祷の中心になります。

「阿字観」の境地をみました。
金剛薩たは、大日如来です。阿弥陀如来です。また、金剛愛菩薩です。

月輪（がちりん）や、月輪の中の「阿（あ）」字、「吽（うん）」字がポイントです。
愛染明王は、火炎の日輪に座しその上に二つの月輪がある明王画があります。

- quote
Aizen Myo'o (King of Lust)
Ragaraja, Buddhist Lord of Passion, traveled from India to Japan, where he transformed into Aizen Myo'o, venerated by Japan's esoteric Buddhist sects as King of Love, Lust, and Desire, patron of erotic love and sacred sexuality. He helps convert earthly, physical desires into transcendent love and spiritual awakening.

Aizen Myo'o is King of Lust because he helps control it, explore it, or transform it into enlightenment. He is petitioned for assistance with the physical and emotional frustrations of suppressed sexuality. Aizen Myo'o is revered as patron of gay love, but he may be invoked for assistance with any kind of love or romance, including self-love.

Aizen Myo'o has three eyes, six arms, and either one or two heads (with three eyes per head). He wears a crown with a Shishi dog over his wild hair.

Aizen (Raagaraaja, Ragaraja)
Seit der Heian-Zeit nach Fudoo am besten bekannter Myôô in Japan.
Inkarnation des Dainichi Nyorai, Kongoo Satta, Kongoooo und Kongooai Bosatsu.
Sutra: Yugikyoo (Suutra of all Yogas and Yogiis of the Pavilion with the Vajra-Top)

In der Shingon-Sekte in der Zeremonie "Aizenoohoo" verehrt.
Aizen repräsentiert die Reinen Gefühle, die Reine Liebe.
Er wandelt die irdischen Leidenschaften der Menschen direkt in die rechten Gefühle eines Bosatsu um.
In der Tachikawa-Sekte des Shingon spielt er eine besondere Rolle in den verschiedenen Zeremonien.

Äußerlich furchterregender Gesichtsausdruck, aber er plant immer nur die Erlösung der Menschen von ihren verderblichen Leiden~schaften. Er verwandelt die verschlingende Liebe in die Reine Liebeskraft des religiösen Herzens um. In der Edo-Zeit die Schutzgottheit der käuflichen Damen im Yoshiwara-Viertel.
Da er Waffen in den Händen hält, wurde er von den Samurai besonders verehrt.

Es gibt auch einige Mandalas, in denen Aizen die Zentralfigur ist.
Eine ausführliche Beschreibung über Aizen Myoooo findet sich bei Goepper (4).

Ikonografie:
Roter runder Nimbus mit Flammen oder spezieller Nimbus aus drei Kreisen oder einem großen Kreis, der die Sonne symbolisiert.
Rote Körperfarbe als Ausdruck der Leidenschaften.

Einen Kopf, drei Augen, sechs Arme. Krone mit einem Löwenkopf, über dem auch ein Haken mit fünf Spitzen (gokokoo) sichtbar sein kann.

In den Händen:
Donnerkeil-Glocke, Donnerkeil mit fünf Zacken, Lotusblüte, Pfeil, Bogen u.a.
Die Gegenstände in den Händen beziehen sich auch auf verschiedene esoterische Zeremonien, bei denen Aizen eine Hauptrolle spielt.
In den linken Händen trägt er die Gegenstände der Lehre, also machmal auch das wunscherfüllende Juwel (Gebet um Glück) oder ein Sonnenrad (Gebet um Schutz des eigenen Leibes).
Selten mit drei Köpfen.
Mit Pfeil und Bogen als Gottheit der Liebe.
Nur sitzende Statuen auf einem Lotussockel. Unter dem Sockel eine Vase (kenbyoo), aus der alle Schätze fließen.

Besonders Statuen:
Aizen mit dem Himmlischen Bogen (tenkyuu Aizen)

Aizen mit einem Bogen mit aufgelegtem Pfeil zum Himmel gerichtet "als würde er auf die Helligkeit aller Sterne zielen" [Goepper (4)]. Daher auch frei als "Der nach den Sternen zielende Aizen" (shatenzoo) übersetzt.
Der Bogen wird hoch über dem Kopf gehalten.
Insgesamt sechs Arme. Mittlere Hände mit Donnerkeil und Donnerkeil-Glocke. Eine rechte Hand mit Lotusblüte.

Eine der linken Hände hält manchmal einen abgeschnittenen Kopf.
Möglicherweise eine Version des indischen Liebesgottes Kama bzw. des römischen Cupid.

Fünf Finger großer Aizen
(goshiryoo Aizen　五指量愛染)

「五指量（ごしりょう）の愛染王」　　
「瑜祇経」の愛染王の印に、「五股（鈷）の印」があります。　　東寺に伝えられた最極の秘印だったそうです。　　　ここでは、梵字が書けませんので、音だけです。　短の「ウン」、重の「ウン」　
比叡山でも、愛染王の五股印と明（みょう）があります。　　　
①「吽（ウン）」・・・右手指を上にして、両手を組む　　　
②「多（タ）」・・・両中指をまっすぐに立てて合わせる　　　
③「枳（キ）」・・・両人差し指を鉤（かぎ）のようにする。　　　
④「吽（ウン）」・・・③から両親指と小指を立てる。　　　
⑤「弱（シャ）」・・・さらに両人差し指を開きます。　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
（両薬指を手のひらの中にいれる。これが最極秘密の口伝）
http://www.sakai.zaq.ne.jp/piicats/keiai.htm

Look at the statue here / 写真はこちら
鎌倉時代の1297（永仁5）年、称名寺でつくられた五指量の愛染明王の坐像です。五指量像とは、左手親指の幅を5本分あわせた長さ、あるいは親指から小指までの手の長さの幅でつくられて、本来、白檀製の像で、お守りとして身につけておくものでした。愛染明王は、さまざまな悪いものを消滅させていく強い攻撃力をもっていますが、五指量像はその力をお守りに使っています。称名寺伝来のこの愛染明王坐像は、称名寺長老の念持仏と伝えられ、金銅製で、厨子に納められています。随所に精巧なつくりのみられる優品で、国の重要文化財に指定されています。台座底面に「永仁五年二月廿七日、金沢寺是作、大工左近入道浄胤、子息藤右衛門尉秀吉」とあり、作者がわかります。

- quote
Aizen, Mantra-König der Liebe
Aizen Myōō wird oft schreckenerregender als Fudō dargestellt. Erkennbar an seiner feuerroten Hautfarbe und an Pfeil und Bogen (neben anderen Waffen) kann er bis zu sechs Arme und Beine besitzen. Auch er erfuhr vor allem im esoterischen Buddhismus große Verehrung. Sein Name bedeutet zwar wörtlich „Mantra-König der Liebe", doch bedeutet das lediglich, dass er die irdischen Leidenschaften der Menschen in die rechten Gefühle eines Bosatsu verwandelt — und das mit seinen Methoden.

Wie die meisten anderen Myōōs (außer Fudō) dürfte Aizen mit dem Rückgang des esoterischen Buddhismus in der Edo-Zeit an Bedeutung verloren haben und ist daher heute verhältnismäßig wenig bekannt. Doch noch in der Edo-Zeit fühlten sich Liebende — oder die, die mit der Liebe handelten — zu ihm hingezogen. Er galt zu dieser Zeit als der Beschützer der Geishas in Yoshiwara, dem Freudenviertel von Edo.

Asahisan Fudooji 朝日山不動寺 Fudo-Ji
4 Chome-1-12 Nishikida, Fukui,　福井市
Somewhere in the mountain range of Asuwa Yama 足羽山山麓

- quote
Asahisan Fudoji Temple in Fukui city.

Built in 1711, the statues of this temple have been protecting local people here from natural disasters and evils in their lives. Asahisan can roughly be translated as 'a mountain of morning sun'.
Before the temple was built, people were suffering from natural disasters. Since there was a saying here that if Fudomyoo (Acala) is placed in the morning sun he would save humans from harm's way, people built this temple at the foot of Mt. Asuwa, aka, the place under the morning sun (Asahisan) in the hope that the Fudomyoo would protect them. When you look at the formidable-looking statues of Fudomyoo here, you may probably be convinced that they could truly protect us!

- quote
Hotoke-iwa - Buddha Crag - 開山堂仏岩
Priest Shoto 勝道上人 passed away on March 1st of 817. He was cremated in the valley of crags, which was located near the kaizan-do hall of the founder.

A small and vermilion lacquered hall was built to enshrine Shoto. That shrine is today's Kaizan-doh hall. Wooden image of Bosatsu and seated image of Priest Shoto are enshrined in the Kaizan-doh hall. It is told that those images were made in the Muromachi period. Also, wooden images of ten pupils of Shoto are put on the right and left of the principal image. Rites of Kaizan ceremony are carried out in the hall on April 1st.

There is Gorin-to tower 五輪塔 in the place of Shoto's tomb. Three other tombs are also put there, but these are for his followers. The Gorin-toh tower stands on the back of Kaizan-doh hall.

The crag on the back of Kaizan-doh is called Hotoke-iwa, which means Buddha Crag. Rocks of the crag were like Buddha, but these collapsed during an earthquake. Today, 6 stone images of Buddha are put on hollow place, located on the back of Kaizan-doh hall.
One of the statues is Fudo Myo-O 六部天(１体は不動明王).

... flache Lotusblüte (chooren) auf dem Haarknoten oben auf dem Kopf (shakei motodori), Haar als Zopf über der linken Schulter (benpatsu; ursprünglich indische Dienerfigur bzw. Trägerfigur). Der Kopf bedeutet die Buddha-Welt, die linke Schulter die Menschen-Welt. Durch den verbindenden Zopf wird die Liebe der Buddhas zu allen Menschen ausgedrückt.
Manchmal sieben Haarknoten, als Ausdruck der sieben wichtigen Vorschriften und Übungen (nanamanhoo) zur Erleuchtung.

Seine Haare sind manchmal in sieben Zöpfen zusammengebunden (shichi shakei), die die sieben Stufen bei der Erlangung der Erleuchtung darstellen.
(Alte Figuren des Myôô zeigen die Haarfrisur mit sieben Zöpfen, zusammengebunden mit einer Ranke (ya). Das ist die Frisur der Sklaven im alten Indien.)
- Fudo Myo-O　- Mein Deutscher Text －

5 - shichi shakei 七沙髻
Seven knots in his hair, and a lotus flower.

The seven knots represent the seven steps toward enlightenment.
Older statues also have seven plaits, indicating the figure of a slave boy in India.

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

6 - benpatsu 一弁髪
On his left shoulder a plait of hair hangs down.

His head represents the Buddha-world, the left shoulder the world of human beings.
With this plait connecting both worlds his compassion and love for all mankind is represented.

Takkoku no Iwaya Bishamondo 達谷窟毘沙門堂

岩手県西磐井郡平泉町平泉字北沢１６
Kitazawa-16 Hiraizumi, Nishiiwai District

The main statues are Bishamonten 毘沙門天 and Fudo Myo-O.

Founded by priest Enchin 円珍 in 807 in order to promote the development of the Northern Provinces in Tohoku. In 801 the government sent Sakanoue Tamuramaro to subdue chief 悪路王 Akuro-O. The deity Bishamonten was placed in the temple to show their thanks for the victory.
The buildings burned down various times but have always been re-built. The last re-built was in 1961.
Now people come here to pray for peace.
Some sources quote Jigaku Daishi for carving the statue of Bishamonten.

The main temple is in a cave (iwaya) but has a large compound in the mountains, the building is almost like the temple Kurama 鞍馬寺 in Kyoto, and housed 108 statues of Bishamonten in the Bishamonten Hall 毘沙門堂. Now 33 are still there and shown every 33 years.

- Chant of the temple
大慈心　姫待滝の不動尊　
もるるかたなき　ちかいぞうれし

- quote
--- Himemachi-Fudo-do
(Waiting-for-ladies Fudo Hall)
, Takkoku-Seiko-ji Temple. It suggests a dubious legend disrespecting "Akuro-o," the legendary lord of the Emishi people.

According to the legend, "Akuro-o" (悪路王) and his followers often kidnapped high-born maidens from Kyoto, confined them in "Kagohime" (籠姫; lit. Maidens' Cage) upstream and enjoyed cherry-blossom-viewing with them in "Sakurano" (桜野; lit. Cherry Field) repeatedly.
They called a waterfall nearby "Himemachi-no-Taki" (姫待ちの滝; lit. "Fall of Waylaying Escaping Maidens"). They also called the stone near the cave "Katsura-Ishi " (鬘石; lit. [Maidens'] Wig Stone) because they cut the maiden's beautiful black hair as a warning to other kidnapped maidens.

Probably the Japanese people in later generations blindly wanted to believe Tamuramaro Sakanoue as a most respectable hero and Akuro-o ("Aterui" or "Acro-o") who fought with Sakanoue as an evil figure.

Kenji Miyazawa wrote a poem about "Acro-o" taking hint from this legend, titled "Haratai Kenbai Ren" (原体剣舞連; lit. "A Verse for Haratai [Village] Sword Dance," dated August 31, 1922) in Spring and Ashura.
