SHINTO - Takaokami and amagoi

https://kappapedia.blogspot.jp/2017/07/tengu-chiba-legends-masks.html

Mount Takagoyama is 雨乞いの山 a mountain for rain rituals. At 清滝神社 Kiyotaki Jinja a small shrine the Waterfall Deity is venerated as 高オカミ神 the Mountain Deity.
(The old Kanji for this spelling is rain　雨 on top and below it three open mouths 口. Below it the Kanji for a dragon 龍 - a very complicated Kanji indeed, 高おかみ神.)
Below this shrine is the Kannon hall in a cave, protecting the Tengu masks.
Once upon a long time, Minamoto no Yoritomo had to flee from 小田原の石橋山 the lost battle in Odawara and took refuge here. Yoritomo stayed in the Kannon cave (高宕観音 Takago Kannon) and prayed for the return of his good luck and victory. On the pillars of this cave-hall hang the Tengu masks.

高宕山 The Kanji in the middle, 宕, refers to the cave, and this reminded people of the famous 愛宕山 Atagoyama in Kyoto.
Maybe the Tengu from Atagoyama even came here to visit ? ??

quote
Kuraokami, Takaokami 高おかみ神 , Kuramitsuha
Kuraokami no kami, Takaokami no kami
Kami produced from the blood that dripped from Izanagi's sword when he killed the kami of fire, Kagutsuchi.
When Izanagi's consort Izanami gave birth to the kami of fire, she was burned and died. Enraged and saddened at the loss of his wife, Izanagi beheaded Kagutsuchi with his "ten-span sword," and numerous deities were produced from Kagutsuchi's blood.

According to Kojiki, Kuraokami and Kuramitsuha were produced from the blood as it collected on the hilt of Izanagi's sword and dripped through his fingers. According to an "alternate writing" related by Nihongi, Izanagi killed Kagutsuchi by cutting him into three pieces, thus creating the three kami
Ikazuchi no kami, Ōyamatsumi, and Takaokami.
The word kura is said to mean a narrow gorge beneath a cliff, while okami refers to the dragon tutelary of water, and mitsuha suggests the water as it begins to emerge, or a water-spirit.

24 mamilies on the island have this forest with a small shrine to honor the ancestors. November 22 and 23 are the special days when all family members gather to worship and have a feast.
Few families also have nisota ニソ田 ritual Niso fields, where they grow plants for the offerings. One person alone is not allowed to visit, it is a ニソ講 ritual group event. And the trees are not allowed to be cut down. But with the rural population decreasing rapidly, now there are only 10 forests in actual use.

Onigashima　鬼が島 /　おにが島　Island where the Demons live
Onigashima, officially called
Megishima 女木島 Megijima

- quote -


Onigashima, officially called "Megishima" (女木島), is located in the sea of Japan (瀬戸内海) and belongs to Kagawa Prefecture, Shikoku District. It is said that the tale of Momotaro originated in Kagawa prefecture.

- Cavern of Onigashima

In 1914,
the cavern was found by Sentaro Hashimoto, a local history researcher, and started to be exhibited as "Onigashima" cavern in 1931. This cavern is thought to have been made in around 100 B.C. and is also similar to fortress caverns of Ancient China. Its length is about 400 meters long, and the all-around size is about 4000㎡.

- THE ONIS ARE WAITING FOR YOU!!!

You can take a ferry
from the Port of Takamatsu to Megishima directly, the trip takes about 20 minutes.
From the Port of Megishima, you can either take a bus to the cavern (it takes around 10 minutes) or walk there (around 30 minutes).

Hidari Jingoro and a Kyoto Beauty


- quote -
Oni no inu ma ni sentaku (Doing the Laundry While the Demon is Away)
This original Kawanabe Kyosai (Gyosai) woodcut is printed on nineteenth century Japanese mulberry (rice) paper and with full margins as published by Okura Magobei between 1881 - 1886 in the Kyosai Hyakuzu, 'Kyosai Hyaku-zu' (One Hundred Pictures by Kyosai).
It depicts scenes from Japanese folklore & proverbs dealing with household chores, games & demons (Yokai & Oni). The image is constructed by means of two horizontal subjects, the first scene contains a Japanese proverb or expression (Kotowaza), that reads; "Oni no inu ma ni sentaku" which loosely translates to (Doing the Laundry While the Demon is away) or (When the cat is away, the mice will play). The scene depicts a woman washing clothes and a large cat sitting nearby while a grumpy old man goes out for a walk.
The Japanese proverb for he lower scene reads; "Oya ni ninu ko wa oni no ko" which translates to (A child that does not resemble its parents is a Demon Child). Depending on the context, this expression can refer to a child who is misbehaving and is not adapting to the family expectations or it may refer to a simple children's game known as hide and seek. Here the artist depicts children at play, a mother, with her naked child wrapped around her shoulders, chasing a diminutive demon, who in turn is chasing after several frightened children. However, the expression of laughter on the mother's face as she grabs at the little red demon, indicates that it is all in fun. Laughter, in fact, appears to be the connecting link within these delightful and bizarre scenes.

MINGEI - Nomura Silk Ehime

https://omamorifromjapan.blogspot.jp/2011/08/ehime-folk-toys.html

Nomura town 野村　 Seiyo 　西予

- quote -
Nomura Silk 野村シルク
Known as "the town of milk and silk," Nomura Town in Seiyo City, Ehime Prefecture has long thrived on stockbreeding and sericulture. Its sericulture industry, which makes raw silk yarn from silkworm cocoons, started in the early Meiji Period (1868-1912), and by the early Taisho Period (1912-1926) as many as 1,138 sericultural farmhouses filled the town.

There are various reasons for the development of sericulture in this semi-mountainous town: the local farmland occupied a large area of sloping land, necessary for growing the mulberry trees needed to feed silkworms; a large number of workers were available compared to the area of the farmland; and sericulture was highly profitable.

In 1933, a silk-reeling factory was established in Nomura, and the locally produced raw silk was registered with the trademark name of Camellia Silk, receiving high acclaim both domestically and internationally. However, Nomura's silk-reeling industry declined over time, under pressure from high-volume imports of cheaper products from abroad. Today only about 10 sericulture farmers remain.

Nonetheless, the high quality of Camellia Silk has been passed down over the years. It features a unique bulkiness, which means its yarn has more expansion per unit of length than the average yarn, and also offers a fine gloss. Riding on the enduring strength of the Nomura brand, Camellia Silk is still sold in Kyoto and other areas of Japan.

Furthermore, Japan's shrines have a tradition known as Sengu, when their enshrined deity is moved to a temporary shrine during reconstruction work. At Ise-jingu Shrine, one of the most important shrines in Japan, every 20 years the entire shrine is reconstructed in a ceremony referred to as Shikinen Sengu—and Camellia Silk is designated as a provider of raw silk yarn for the ceremony. It is used for making formal attire for the ceremony as well as new offerings to the god of the shrine.

Nomura's Silk Museum presents a number of valuable items related to the industry that supported the town's modernization in terms of both industry and economy. Its displays include both historical documents and tools that were used in the production of cocoons and raw silk yarns. There are also programs where guests can experience making products using Camellia Silk themselves.
