軽石だるま(鹿児島県)
Karuishi Daruma
Stone Daruma from Lava, Kagoshima prefecture.
軽石という素材でだるまをつくってしまうという発想が面白い。
南国鹿児島には個性の強い玩具が多い。

The God of the Fields on the right.
The stone comes from the active volcano at Sakurajima. Many represent the God of the Fields 田の神 and a long-living Daruma 寿だるま. The zodiac animals are also made.
They are not really carved, but scratched from pieces of lava.

Made by Saint Fugai 風外上人
風外蝸室. 風外道人こと風外慧薫上人 Fuugai Ekun at about age 60
at Kifune Jinja, Manazuru 貴船神社
Fugai was a Zen painter/monk in the Early Edo Period.
1568－1654
He was the head priest at temple 成願寺 in Sagami and later lived in a cave in Soga, then in Ishioka. When he felt his death coming at about 87 years of age, he had his parishioners dig a hole, grabed his paintings of Daruma and Hotei and died in the hole. This is why they called him "fuugai".
Fugai lived in a cave in Manazuru for a while.

More Stone Daruma
In the category of stone sculpture, a crafted image of Daruma is known as a
"Stone Daruma" (ishi Daruma 石だるま). These can have various forms, from large-scale figures to smaller-scale works. Sometimes the Daruma features are chiseled into an interestingly shaped stone. Sometimes the face is painted on a smooth, stream-worn pebble.
This is a little Kannon, which I got from a friend.
Let us look at one Daruma made of stone. He was made in China and is now sold in many stone-producing areas of Japan. I got this one near Tamakatsu from a local stone dealer. This Daruma comes in two sizes and since he is mashine-made, he has many identical brothers.
These two Daruma are painted in red and white on stone. The pebbles provide soft shapes on which to paint whimsical renditions of Darumas face. These tow are sold at a temple dedicated to Kooboo Daishi, whom we have met frequently. The
Kawasaki Daishi Temple is located close to Tokyo and very famous for the crowds visiting during the first three days of the New Year. I tried once to go there too and had to stand in line from the station for three hours and not yet even reached the entrance gate when we gave up and posponed the visit to February.

This is only the face of a beautiful Daruma of Stone, which I found many years ago in the garden of the Temple Gohyaku Rakan in Odawara. He is as big and looks just like the laquer statue which we saw in the ABC story. Maybe they were made from the same pattern?
Look at his laquer friend HERE
