What is Daruma holding ?

Recently a friend asked me:
"Why is this Lady Daruma holding a duster? Is she going to clean her home?"
Well, that was the origin of this story.

. Jimotsu - What is Daruma holding? .


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

Why does Daruma have his hands under his robe?

Covering the hands of Bodhidharma and Shâkyamuni Buddha with their robes on Chan Buddhist paintings might be used deliberately by the artist in order to avoid to depict a specific hand gesture or mudra thus this compositional scheme might be understood as an “anti-mudra”.
This anti-mudra then can be a symbol of the wordless transmission.
(Seckel 1965:35-72 Cf. Brinker 1973:22-23)

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


Another explanation is this one:


source :　jyouhoji.jiin.com Temple Juuhoji Kyoto常保寺


This statue comes in a robe fluttering to the right, almost like the iconography for a "Shakyamuni coming down from the mountains" ( Shaka coming out of the mountains, shutsuzan shaka 出山釈迦. ）

You might wonder why most statues of Daruma have the arms hidden under the robe. One explanation we have about statues and pictures of Shakyamuni in this pose is the following:
He is coming down from the mountains after long years of meditation and has his new wisdom still hidden under his robe.
He later walks to Benares in India where he holds his first sermon, expounding the newly found wisdom.

Gustav Jacoby, a German Art Collector

Philanthropy and Passion:
Gustav Jacoby and his Collection of Japanese Art
by Wolfgang Klose,
professor of theoretical physics, University of Saarbruecken and the University of Karlsruhe


Gustav Jacoby, 1910

Gustav Jacoby (1856 - 1921)
was one of the great German collectors of Japanese art in the early 20th century, deeply committed to enhancing public awareness and knowledge of Japanese art and crafts. His personal holdings of sword decorations and lacquerware in particular exceeded many museum collections of his time. Jacoby started collecting Japanese art seriously in 1899, and as early as 1903 was able to publish a series of sword guards from his collection in a catalogue.

The first public exhibition of Jacoby's private collection in Berlin 1904, "Small Works of Japanese Art", featured almost 1,200 objects. Jacoby was extremely generous, and made large material and financial contributions to the East Asian collections of several institutions: for instance, Jacoby helped transform the East Asian Art Collection in Berlin in 1919, donating virtually his entire collection.

Unfortunately, the pieces he donated, together with the vast majority of the collection's other pre-war holdings, were confiscated as war booty by the Soviet Army and removed to the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, where they still remain today.

Daruma as Container for Tea Leaves

cha tsutsu, chazutsu 茶筒

In contrast to the container for powdered tea, cha ire　茶入, we have a container for leaf tea, tea caddy, tea canister, cha tsutsu　茶筒. They are made from various materials, including wood, metal and plastic.
Some have a second internal lid.

Freshness is one of Japanese green tea's most important qualities. Unlike dry oxidized teas such as black or oolong, it does not last forever. Tea leaves easily deteriorate by contacting with oxygen, ultraviolet light, humidity, or high temperatures.
To preserve freshness, high-quality green tea leaves should be stored in an air-tight container away from heat and moisture. A "chazutsu" is specially designed to keep the green tea fresh.

Click HERE to see a wide variety of them.

　達磨 Daruma in and on pottery

Japanese Pottery!
The oldest pottery in the world and in the long history of its development there are so many styles and areas involved, it is easy to loose track.
Talking about Japanese Pottery and Daruma san, I make the distinction between Daruma as a decorative figure or statue (okimono 置物), Daruma painted on a piece of pottery for use, for example a teacup, a soy sauce poorer or an oil dish. In this field we find Daruma almost everywhere! I will cover that in the separate stories.
And finally pottery items for use in the form of Daruma, for example incense burners, toothpick holders and the like. This also calls for different stories. Many pottery centers have some special type of Daruma objects, so I will cover the Pottery of Arita, Bizen, Kutani, Oribe etc. in extra stories.

There might be more in time.

Modern Japanese Ceramics:
Pathways of Innovation & Tradition
by Anneliese Crueger (Author), Wulf Crueger (Author), Saeko Ito (Author)



For more than 30 years, Dr. Anneliese and Dr. Wulf Crueger—guided by Saeko Itô—have devoted themselves to studying, understanding, and collecting Japanese ceramics. Today, they share the rich fruits of their knowledge with this lavishly illustrated volume based on their own collection. The equivalent of Roberts Museum Guide, devotees of beautiful ceramics can pick it up and use it to select and visit potters as they undertake an artistic tour of the country.
Organized geographically, it goes from kiln to kiln—which in Japan may refer to a lone site or an entire ceramics region that contains hundreds of workshops. Along the way, they outline the history, development, and unique stylistic characteristics of each area’s work, and the traditions that inspired it.

Kintsugi (金継ぎ) (Japanese: golden joinery) or
Kintsukuroi (金繕い) (Japanese: golden repair)
is the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with lacquer resin dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum a method similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy it speaks to breakage and repair becoming part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

This kind of pottery has a history of more than 200 years. Now there are six kilns that produce it.
平清水焼き Japanese Reference

Hirashimizu, to the south of Yamagata city is a renowned pottery producing area. It is said that at its peak there were some 20 producers in the area. This number has now dwindled to six which are enjoying the recent boom in ceramics. The peach Celadon style whereby the iron particles protrude through the celadon glaze giving the pottery a peach-skin effect is particularly well known. Pottery lessons and tours of the buildings where the potters sit at their wheels can be arranged by the Shichiemon, Bun'emon and Heikichi potters.

All kinds of pottery were called "Setomono" in Edo, but in Western Japan they were called Karatsumono　唐津物　"Things (pottery) from Karatsu".

Seto 瀬戸 is a pottery town in Aichi.
Pottery made in Seto dates back to the 13th century. Katō Shirōzaemon is credited as the first to produce wares in the town
- - - More about Seto Pottery in the WIKIPEDIA !

In the Setomono district of Edo were many shops selling pottery and crockery.
One of the first to open shop was 水野兵九郎　Mizuno Heikuro.
The eastern part of the district bordered to a wide river-canal Nishi-Horidome 西堀留, where ships from Seto could land easily.
There were also many wholesalers of Sake, incense sticks (senkoo　線香 and dried food (kanbutsu　乾物) in the district.
During the Year-End season, a popular market, (toshi no ichi　年の市) was held in the Western part of the district.

Because of the wide waterway, many wholesalers (tonya　問屋) had their warehouses here, especially rice dealers.

The Horidome district was located in the vicinity of modern Nihonbashi Horidome-chō 1-chōme and 2-chōme; it being positioned along an excavated bund that faced onto and altered the flow of the two Horidome rivers (east and west).
Water transportation was used extensively in the area during Edo times, with the town becoming well-known for its rice traders.

in 1704, he opened a wholesale store in Kobunacho. In the following year, he changed his name to Ihee and the name of his shop to Iseya Ihee 伊勢屋伊兵衛. He then started a retail store in Setomonocho, Nihonbashi (present day Muromachi 2-chome) in 1720, which is now the location of the current Ninben head office.

- quote -
Kajibashi　鍛冶橋
..... The neighborhood we are entering now is home to a community of potters, and the shops on the main street have row after row of porcelain and pottery lined up on the shelves and tables. Each store offers a range of different types of plates, saucers, mugs, bowls and vases.

Pottery is a highly developed craft in Edo, though the best products still come from the far western provinces of Suo, Aki and Nagato. A wide range of different styles of pottery are available, from inexpensive dishes used by average townspeople to the works of master craftsmen, which can fetch extremely high prices from rich daimyo, merchants or members of the Emperor's court.

Everyone is intent on what they are doing, and take their work seriously -- even the youngsters and women who prepare the clay for use in making the pottery. Like many of Edo's crafts, there is a close connection between the business of making pottery and the expression of fine art. Apprentices may produce large amounts of simple pottery for daily use while they are learning their craft, but their goal is always to develop their skill to a fine level and to create true works of art.

The center of the potter's district is almost uncomfortably warm. You can feel the heat from the kilns as soon as you enter the square. The huge ovens used to bake the porcelain are set up in the center of the district, and they are tended carefully to ensure that the temperature is kept at just the right level. Around the square, individual craftsmen are shaping clay into different types of products. Every few minutes, someone will carry another large rack of molded pottery over to the kilns to be baked.
This neighborhood can be unbearably hot in the summer time, since potters have to work all year round. On the other hand, it isnt such a bad place to visit in the winter. Each of the crafts districts is entirely devoted to producing their specialty products, and each member of the community has a part to play. Most of the people are closely bound together by ties of kinship and community, and all work together to help the entire neighborhood become prosperous.

Craftsmen in Japan have to spend ten years working as an apprentice for a "master craftsman" before they can start to work on their own. While they are an apprentice, they will spend the entire day working with their master, watching every move that he makes, and attempting to imitate his skills. Although the crafts tend to hereditary professions, with people passing on their trade from father to son, it is not that uncommon for people to switch to a different craft while they are still very young. .....

Magewappa, magewappa Bento Boxes
まげわっぱ / 曲げわっぱ
magemono 曲物 cirulare box

Magewappa was first made by woodcutters in the Odate area, using straight grain Akita Cedar. The Lord of Odate Castle, Nishiie Satake, encouraged this use of the soldiers and has been passed on from generation to generation from the end of the Edo Era to the present. With the emergence of plastics, it became economically necessary for some craftsmen to change their business. Since then more people are becoming aware of real quality and craftsmanship.


Odate Magewappa 大館曲げわっぱ fits this description perfectly.

For more than four hundred years our ancestors have exploited mountains, planted Japanese cedars, and repeated the process of weeding, pruning, and thinning out the forests every year to protect the beauty and health of the environment for the next generation
