Daruma Clay Bells どれい【土鈴】 dorei
an earthen (ware) bell, a ceramic bell

Clay bells started of as toys for children, but since the Meiji period they came to be a well-loved souvenir for travelling families and groups of ladies. You find them in the local souvenir shops and at most temples and shrines throughout Japan.
Their different types vary from area to area, from maker to maker, and certainly from different
tastes within the changing periods of Japanese history. A lot of the clay bells come from the Kyoto area, but there are also some splendid ones from the various provinces of Japan.

The best introduction to the subject is probably found in the detailed book "Clay Bells in Japan" by Mrs. Ishiyama Kuniko.

To be able to hear all the wishes of the people to "win", this Daruma has very large ears.

Museum about Japanese Clay Bells 　
Nihon Dorei Kan 日本土鈴館

The history of clay bells (dorei 土鈴) dates back to the Jomon period (B.C. 7000 - 300); their quiet tinkling and plain shape have attractedthe hearts of the Japanese people. Infused with a variety of hopes by different individuals, the clay bell and its timbre has deeply penetrated into our daily lives. Clay bells infuse a feeling of nostalgia in the Japanese people and provide us a pleasant sensation.

A Daruma clay bell from Tsuyazaki 　
津屋崎のだるま土鈴
Tsuyazaki in Kyushu is located close to Hakata with its famous clay dolls, which we will explore in another story. The Tsuyazaki clay dolls are more simple and more like children's toys. The late Mr. Harada Misaemon was famous for this Daruma bells. Now his wife Takayo still makes some smaller ones.

Otoshidama envelopes for the New Year
and other paper bags ...

Here is the question I got:
I am planning a lesson about the Japanese New Year, and I want to give my students a red envelope. I have found some for sale online here:
http://www.japanesegifts.com/party_favor.asp
But, these envelopes are Chinese. Would the ones given by a Japanese person look similar? Would it be okay to use them? They look much fancier than the plain red ones I was planning to make!
Karen

Now I would like to tell you about the special envelopes used in Japan for various purposes. We will look at the Chinese ones further down.


First look at some envelopes with Daruma san.



You see Daruma and the auspicious trio of the pine, bamboo and the plum (shoochikubai 松竹梅). The characters wish you a happy new year.



This little envelope also has many symbols for good luck at the beginning of a year. The characters in the middle read: otoshidama, Money for the New Year.

Otoshidama お年玉
is a Japanese traditional custom. It originated from a shrine ritual in which kagami mochi (round rice cakes) are offered to the god of the year (toshi kamisama). After the ritual was over the cakes were given to the people worshipping at the shrine. Some cakes, which are quite large, were then taken home by the master of the house and distributed to his family and household servants.

Kagamimochi were modeled on the shape of the Shinto mirror, a round disk of metal that can be seen on or near the shrine altar. This mirror, it is believed, can reflect our spirit. The reading of the Chinese character ''魂 (spirit)'' and ''玉 (round or ball)'' is same: tama. People connected kagamimochi with the idea of tama. So ''god of the year rice cakes'' became reduced to toshidama. The honorific 御 (o) is added to show respect. Over the centuries otoshidama became the name for gifts offered during the New Year period, though they were originally called onenshi or onenga (New Year's Greeting).

Today, otoshidama means something else. Traditionally children are given small envelopes by relatives and friends at the start of the New Year in which appropriate amounts of cash are places. As the child gets older the amount grows.

There is also an explanation of Otoso, the spiced ricewine drunk on the New Year.

For the New Year, a thin strip of dried abalone wrapped in folded red and white paper. Because the meat of the abalone tends to strech long, it is a symbol of the long and good human relations. Now even imitations of a noshi made from Japanese paper can be used. The below is a set, where you can cut out one at at time and add it to a paper envelope or a dish of New Year food.

Karen:
Are the red envelopes not used any more? I didn't see any amongst your wonderful examples. If I get the Chinese envelopes, what should I tell my students? I'm trying to be very careful to truly teach Japanese culture and not be sloppy! Would anyone in Japan actually use envelopes that look like the Chinese ones I found, or would I just say that the Japanese use many different kinds and so these are okay to give out?

Gabi:
The Japanese do not use the pure red ones. If you want to use them, tell the children they are from China. Red is an auspicious color, in China and Japan. That is one reason why Daruma san is usually red.

Here is a scholarly article about the color red, smallpox and Daruma. http://darumasan.blogspot.com/2009/07/red-and-smallpox-essay.html

Akubi - Daruma yawning
あくびのだるま / あくび達磨 / 欠伸


Wooden Yawning Darumas from Hida Takayama



This yawning Daruma is only about 5 cm tall and fits perfectly in the palm of my hand. I got him in Hida Takayama. Opening his mouth real wide he reminds me of Daruma Daishi sitting in front of the wall (menpeki kunen 面壁九年) in the temple Suuzan (崇山) in China.
Yawning loud (akubi 欠伸) is not a socially correct behaviour, but to strech your
arms and back and take a deep breath brings oxygen to your brain and helps your mind to be sharp. So it is no wonder Daruma during his long periods of meditation took a good yawn once in a while. And just this moment is captured in some of these humorous statues.


The town Takayama in Gifu Prefecture is well known for woodcarving, especially "with one blade" (ittoobori 一刀彫り). The Yawning Darumas are about 5 to 10 cm high and are a speciality of this area. They are part of the tradition of making netsuke (根付) in this area since the Edo period and mostly made of wood from the local Ichi-I tree (一位). Maybe the craftsmen from Takayama went to Edo and took the idea from pictures depicting a yawning Daruma in the Hokusai tradition.

(One of my two fellows has a pretty long face and shows little teeth, the other one has no teeth, but his beard is growing visibly, he looks quite haggard and fed up with meditation! )

Netsuke with a yawning Daruma



Antique Popping Eyes Trick Ivory Netsuke

Signed on the base, the carver Gyokuichi is a 19th century netsukeshi recorded in the M.T.Hindson's Collection by Neil K. Davey. As evidence in this series of netsuke, he was greatly influenced by master carver Toen (1820-94), who is famoused for his ningyo/doll combined ittobori style wood netsuke.. Though Gyokuichi never achieved the status of his master, nerveless, his trick netsuke in ivory were made in many clever ways. His gods and heros are more silly than reverent, and oni more humane than devilish. Throughout the subject matter in this "popping eyes series", Gyokuichi is both bold and wild with a lively sense of humor. His netsuke designs forgo most unnecessary details, but focus on what is tactile and functional. Clearly, his main emphasis is to amuse and produce joy and laughter.

See details of this netsuke in my Netsuke Album, Nr. 42 to 45.

Clay Bell with Yawning Daruma

Clay Dolls of a Yawning Daruma
Some of these are represented with hands folded unter the robe, others have the hands streched wide above the head. Inahata Clay Dolls (稲畑土人形), which have a long tradition, feature some of these Darumas.
They also come as little incense burners or water drippers for calligraphy. Another type is in the form of an ashtray with Daruma's mouth wide open, made in Kanazawa.

The photos of the following text are still missing

Two papermachee Daruma dolls yawning
Papermachee Darumas (張子) are quite common in Japan, but a Yawning Daruma of this kind seems to be seldom and only produced in Nagoya and Fushimi, Kyoto.

The Yawning Daruma from Fushimi
This is a little fellow of about 9 cm with a headband (hachimaki 鉢巻), typical of Nagoya. He was made by Katayama Ryuu of Fushimi ward, Kyooto.

The Yawning Daruma from Nagoya
This doll has the belly protruding and the face looking into the sky, his yawn going right into space. We will talk about Nagoya Papermachee Darumas in a different story. Some of them have little balls of clay inside and make a ratteling noise when you shake them.



There is also a little piggy bank with a Yawning Daruma.
It is only about 8 cm high and has the characters for "Money saving" on his belly. It is in the tradition of Yano clay dolls (矢野土人形) from Saga Prefecture in Kyushu. But it is too small to put in money, so he is just yawning away waiting to grow. Yano clay dolls are known for piggy banks during the Russian War and were not made much after that.

高山の祭りについてはこちらのHPです。
The largest festival,the Sanno Matsuri, which is held April 14th and15th is hosted by the Hie Jinja Shrine. It is popularlyknown as the Takayama Spring Festival. Every Spring,people from all over Japan come to Takayama to celebrate this special festival.
After a hot summer when a cool Autumn wind begins to blow, the HachimanMatsuri, held October 9th and 10th, signifies the coming of Autumn. Thus,this festival is called the Takayama Autumn Festival. The Takayama Festivalpopularly refers to these two festivals in Takayama.

At last two more pieces from my collection.
Fotos TBA.

One is an ashtray with an open-mouthed Daruma, his little face quite squashed by the big mouth.
He is about 12 cm high and has obviously been in use for quite a while.


And one more little pottery human Daruma of only 11 cm hight, who is yawning away, stretching one hand over his head as if he was thinking:
"Do I have to do all that meditating? Should I take a day off today?"
with a really human expression, his little teeth beautifully modeled and the little tounge sticking out. His toes are also quite unique.
