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.

comes in various forms in different villages.

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?

Daruma in the Shadow of Basalt



I visited my sister in Albuguerque, New Mexico. There, with the small throng of relatives and inlaws (outlaws... hehehe) we viewed the petroglyphs. As is sometimes surprising I found the bushy eyebrowed image of Daruma in the shadow patterns on a basalt bolder.

- quote
In archaeology, rock art is human-made markings placed on natural stone; it is also largely synonymous with parietal art. A global phenomenon, rock art is found in many different regions of the world, having been produced in many different contexts throughout human history, although the majority of rock art that has been ethnographically recorded has been produced as a part of ritual. Such artworks are often divided into three forms: petroglyphs which are carved into the rock surface, pictographs which are painted onto the surface, and earth figures engraved into the ground.

The oldest known rock art dates from the Upper Palaeolithic period, having been found in Europe, Australasia and Africa. Archaeologists studying these artworks believe that they likely had magico-religious significance.


Petroglyph attributed to Classic Vernal Style,
Fremont archaeological culture, eastern Utah, USA.

The archaeological sub-discipline of rock art studies first developed in the late-19th century among Francophone scholars studying the Upper Palaeolithic rock art found in the cave systems of Western Europe. Rock art also continues to be of importance to indigenous peoples in various parts of the world, who view them as both sacred items and significant components of their cultural patrimony.Such archaeological sites are also significant sources of cultural tourism, and have been utilised in popular culture for their aesthetic qualities.

Der Buddhismus kam erst in der Mitte des 6. Jahrhunderts nach Japan - und zwar aus China. Eine Strömung innerhalb dieser Religion ist der Zen-Buddhismus, bei dem die Meditation im Zentrum steht. Als Begründer dieser Richtung gilt der indische Mönch Bodhidharma (jap. Daruma), der vor 534 in China gestorben sein soll.



Die Legende weiß zu berichten, daß er auf den Suzan Berg in Nordchina gegangan sei, dort neun Jahre meditierend vor einer Felswand gesessen habe und dadurch zur Erleuchtung (Satori) gelangt sei. 1191 verbreitete dann der japanische Mönch Eisai diesen Zen-Buddhismus ("Zen" heißt nichts anderes als Meditieren) in Japan.

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

Der Daruma (jap. 達磨, eigentlich Bodhidharma) ist einer der beliebtesten Glücksbringer in Japan. Er besteht aus Pappmaché und wird mit einem Gewicht beschwert, damit er nicht umfallen kann. Somit macht er Mut, sich in jeder Situation wieder aufzurichten. Oft wird er in buddhistischen Tempeln verkauft. Die Figur stellt einen buddhistischen Mönch und einen großen Lehrer des Zen-Buddhismus (Bodhidharma) dar. Auf den Darumafiguren stehen die japanischen Schriftzeichen Glück oder Erfolg.

Die Darstellung der Figur ohne Arme und Beine geht darauf zurück, dass der Mönch Daruma angeblich 9 Jahre im Meditationssitz vor einer Felswand saß, um die Erleuchtung zu erlangen. Da man im Meditationssitz keine Arme und Beine braucht, fehlen sie auch bei dem Glücksbringer. Der Mönch soll außerdem Yoga und andere Kampfsportarten beherrscht haben und der Begründer des Kung Fu sein.

Daruma gilt als Helfer bei der Erfüllung von Wünschen. Zunächst wird ein Auge ausgemalt. Männer malen das linke Auge aus, Frauen das rechte. Der Glücksbringer sollte an einem Ort stehen, an dem man jeden Tag vorbeikommt. Ist der Wunsch in Erfüllung gegangen, wird das andere Auge ausgemalt. Dann kann die Figur in einem Tempel verbrannt werden.

Im 18. Jahrhundert wird die Figur mit dem Steh-auf-Männchen vereint.

Puns, dajare 駄洒落　ダジャレ, だじゃれ
paronomasia

Puns, share-kotoba　しゃれ言葉, were very popular in Old Edo.
Dajare is also called "local dialect" jiguchi 地口.

In Old Edo, many people from all parts of Japan lived side by side.
Puns and playw with words were often used when people met for the first time to break the ice, so to speak, and make them feel comfortable. A person who could not tell a good pun was thought of rater dull　(yabo やぼ　野暮), a country bumpkin.

yabo is itself a deformation of the word　 「野夫」 a worker from the countryside.

jiguchi andon 地口行灯 lanterns with puns and paintings

People painted a pun with image and words on a lantern for the annual festival of Chingo-Do 鎮護堂 in Asakusa, usually called おたぬきさん Otanuki-San at the temple 伝法院 Denbo-In






Denboin doori 伝法院通り Denboin-dori, Road along Denbo-In
Denpo-In
famous for this custom to our day ! About 200 meters with the atmosphere of "Old Edo".
Denbo-In also has a famous garden.
- reference : denbouin-dori.com/midokoro-

- quote -
Denbo-in Teien Garden 伝法院庭園
Walking on Nakamise Street to Hozo-mon Gate and crossing Denbo-in-dori Street, you can find a solemn front gate at the secluded place from the left. Going through the front gate, you arrive at Denbo-in Temple which is the office of Senso-ji Temple and also the residence for head priest for generations. The garden covering the greater part of Denbo-in Temple is separated from the bustle of tourists, and a calm air is blowing among the garden. Here is one of the few temple gardens from the Edo period in Tokyo.
This garden is estimated to be originally landscaped in the Middle Ages. Old drawings and the style of landscape show that the present allocation of space arranging ponds on the north and west side of buildings is unchanged from the early Edo period.
Looking at the west pond from Ojoin (large drawing room) facing the garden, you see a large artificial hill on the left, the stone arrangement which represents a three-step dry fall from the top of the hill and the sandy beach which represents the water surface. Turning your eyes to the center, an undulating shore in islands spreads out.　
Strolling around the pond and standing on the island on the opposite side of Ojoin, you can see a full view of the fivestoried pagoda through the sandy beach arranging stepping-stones and Ojoin. Viewing the north shore which is gently undulating in contrast to the west, it is better to see standing on the stone bridge across a stream joining each pond.　
Denbo-in Teien was a secret garden as even the daimyo were not easily allowed to visit, because Denbo-in Temple was used as Gozen-sho (the place Tokugawa shoguns took a meal or rest) when they came. However, when the precinct of Senso-ji Temple was designated as a public park in 1873, this garden had been open to the public by Tokyo from 1930 to the outbreak of the Pacific War. At present, here is open to the public for a certaion period by Senso-ji Temple. This garden hands down the atmosphere of the Edo period to now, which was mostly lost from Asakusa in the Great Kanto Earthquakes and the Pacific War.

江戸名所　はんじもの（重宣）　　
Famous Places in Edo



重宣 (1826-1869)は広重の弟子であり、
その後二代広重を襲名した人です。これは江戸の庶民の機知やユ－モアに呼応するもので、こんなところからも当時の一般庶民の生活ぶりが偲ばれます。寛政の改革で、美人画のなかに名前を書くのを禁じられたため「コマ絵」として、判じられもしました。もともと浮世絵は庶民のものでしたが、子供のおもちゃ絵からこういう謎解きもの、さらには今の新聞に代わるものまで発行されました。ただ庶民的であることが、その芸術性（代わる言葉が無くての表現ですが）を妨げるものでないと、私は思っています。浮世絵の中にある一要素をもって、全体の評価とするのは間違いだと思うからです。

さて、上記の作品は判じ物の中でもよく目にするものです。画面では少し皺がよってますが状態は良く直ぐ修復できそうで、値段だけでなく本当にラッキ－な出会いでした。江戸の地名を絵で描いてあるのですが、お判りでしょうか？
真ん中上部に描かれた、肩に独楽が乗っているのは「駒形 Komagata 」です。その右、舌に矢が刺さっている絵は「下谷 (shita ya ) 」ですね。他図も是非江戸の人に挑戦してください。どうしても判らない方は、「たばこと塩の博物館」を覗いて見てください、答えが紹介されております。

There is a book about these kind of picture puzzles.

Edo no Hanji-E 江戸の判じ絵
by　岩崎均史著

This is a kind of humor that will be hart to understand by non-Japanese.

体系化された初めての本ではないだろうか。版も大きいし、絵そのものも楽しめる。歌麿をはじめとして国貞、国芳など錚錚たる作家のはんじものもあれば、浮世絵作家が名を成す前に子供向けに作成したものなど多彩であり、手の込んだ刷り物が数多く収録されている。基本はことば遊びなので絵を見れば分かると言うわけにも行かず、やっぱりこのユーモアは外人には理解できないだろう。
