The deity Inuhime-no-kami 伊奴姫神 is only worshipped in this shrine.
Since a dog gives an easy birth, a pregnant woman has to come to this shrine on the day of the dog in the fifth month of her pregnancy and get a special white maternity band for her stomach (iwataobi, iwata obi 岩田帯) .
Some women by that band at the shrine, others buy it in a shop and bring it here for a special purification ritual before using it.

zaru-kaburi inu　笊かぶり犬 dog wearing a basket
zarukaburi

The dog is from papermachee, the basked woven from bamboo.
The basked is an amulet for raking in good luck and a healthy upbringing of small children.
The Chinese character for bamboo basket　笊　is a pun with the meaning of the compuond images of the character, bamboo on top of a dog, which is similar to "smile" 笑. This toy will keep the children laughing.

The auspiciuos basket will also let the wind pass through it, so when it is hung over the baby bed, it will prevend the child from getting a stuffed nose or catch a cold.

This happy dog is one of the most typical toys of Edo.
Parents or relatives used to buy it during a first visit with a baby to the nearby shrine or temple.
Many dogs also carry a little toy drum (denden daiko デンデン太鼓).

The dogs from the shrine Torikoe Jinja 鳥超神社 in Taito Ward are most famous.
This shrine is very old and dates back to 651.
The annual festival in June is quite famous, because their portable shrine (mikoshi) is the heaviest in Tokyo.



In the evening, many lanterns provide a joyous atmosphere.

One of these stories involves our Daruma san.

The Story
Daruma painted on a hanging scroll, looks lifeless into a room. The lady of the home goes to bed early, because her husband is out drinking. She leaves a flask of ricewine and a cup on the table for him, just in case.



When she leaves the room, the Daruma from the scroll suddenly rolls over, into the room and starts drinking the flask of ricewine. When he gets drunk he begins to dance around the room, using wooden clappers to keep the rythm. He suddenly has arms and legs coming out of his round red body here and there. He makes a lot of noise so the lady of the house wakes up.

When she enters the room, Daruma makes a sudden retreat into his hanging scroll, but in the haste he hangs in there now showing his backside, no face. The lady looks at the changed scroll and shakes in wonder.

William Adams
(24 September 1564 – 16 May 1620)
known in Japanese as Miura Anjin (三浦按針: "the pilot of Miura"),
was an English navigator who travelled to Japan becoming the first ever Western Samurai. Adams was also to be the first Englishman ever to reach that country and was the inspiration for the character of John Blackthorne in James Clavell's best-selling novel Shōgun.
- - - More in the WIKIPEDIA !


'Anjin' play launches yearlong celebration of U.K.-Japan ties



LONDON
A play about William Adams, thought to be the first Englishman to set foot in Japan, is being staged in London to mark the start of J400, a yearlong series of events to celebrate 400 years of Anglo-Japanese relations.

"Anjin: The Shogun and the English Samurai" is a drama about Adams' friendship with the first shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The play tells how Adams, a maritime pilot, was washed ashore near Usuki in present-day Oita Prefecture in 1600 and gradually became one of the shogun's most trusted advisers. He was given the name "Anjin," meaning pilot, and became a samurai.
...
In the play, Adams, who is played by Stephen Boxer, gradually becomes disillusioned with his homeland and begins to appreciate the Japanese culture and lifestyle.

Samurai William: The Englishman Who Opened Japan
Giles Milton

With all the adventure, derring-do, and bloodcurdling battle scenes of his earlier book, Nathaniel's Nutmeg, acclaimed historian Giles Milton dazzles readers with the true story of William Adams — the first Englishman to set foot in Japan (and the inspiration for James Clavell's bestselling novel Shogun). Beginning with Adams's startling letter to the East India Company in 1611 — more than a decade after he'd arrived in Japan — Samurai William chronicles the first foray by the West into that mysterious closed-off land. Drawing upon the journals and letters of Adams as well as the other Englishmen who came looking for him, Samurai William presents a unique glimpse of Japan before it once again closed itself off from the world for another two hundred years.

The Japanese Festival Where Demons Beat Up Kids with Sticks

In a small town in Hiroshima called 小屋浦 Koyaura, the third weekend of every October is the autumn festival. A festival the children of the town dread.
..... Terrifying demons known as マッカ（赤鬼）'Makka' (all red) chase the children of the town and when he catches them they get a savage hit with a stick.
Sometimes the demon will also attempt to kidnap the child.
The only thing that can abate the demon is if the child promises to be good from now on. Parents even willingly give their child up to be beaten and kidnapped.
This tradition, native to Koyaura is over 100 years old. ...

Jigoku Dayu by Utagawa Hiroshige I (1797–1858)


- quote -
The old Japanese tale of Jigoku Dayu, or the Hell Courtesan, there are many variations in this story:
Once upon a time,
a very beautiful and elegant courtesan lived in the pleasure quarters of old Japan. She was however extremely arrogant about her own beauty and unbearably cruel to her servants, to the other courtesans of her tea-house and even to her clients. When she suddenly took ill and died, Ema-O, the King Of Hell, stood her before his magical mirror, which shows the true souls of the deceased, and she finally understood how black was her heart. To punish her, the King of Hell made her wear an uchikake, an outer-kimono, made of all the souls of hell being tortured by demons, the weight of which was a constant reminder to the courtesan of how badly she had treated others.

MINGEI - Toyohashi dolls Mikawa Aichi

https://darumadollmuseum.blogspot.jp/2004/11/mikawa-dolls.html
.................................................................................


Mikawa Clay Dolls / 三河土人形


Since suitable clay was found in the area and has long been used to make tiles, the tile makers began to form some simple dolls too. The range of figures is wide, from Hina dolls to the Gods of Good Luck, the Beckoning Cat and other dolls for Good Luck, like our Daruma san. Famous Kabuki actors are also part of the repertoire. Nowadays these dolls are very rare. Dolls from various small villages and towns in the area are together called "Mikawa Clay Dolls".
The Toyohashi Clay Dolls, which we will meet a little later, are among them.

In the whole of Aichi prefecture, there are about 21 locations producing clay dolls, 12 of which are in the Mikawa area, especially in Western Mikawa. Most of these dolls were sold locally.

Mikawa clay dolls also used to be called "Oboko" おぼこ. They are simple in form and very colorful, especially the dolls of warriors and Kabuki actors. Since the dolls had a familiar feeling they were well loved in former times, when children had no toys and things were scarce.


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

Papermachee Dolls from Toyohashi
Toyohashi hariko 豊橋張子


Okororin Daruma おころりん

These dolls have been made by Magoyoshi Yoshida　吉田孫吉 during the Taisho period, including Tenjin Sama and Daruma dolls in the Nagoya tradition.
They were sold at the Toyokawa Inari Shrine but it was not enough to make a living, so the production stopped very soon. Later in 1947, the grandchild of Mr. Yoshida, Mr. Shigeji Nishimura 西村茂治 took up the production and made a lot of Daruma dolls too. They came in three sizes and were quite similar in appearance to the Toyokawa Daruma dolls. They were a little bit more round, the face slightly pink and the facial features painted in bold strokes. Another type was a set of five Darumas in different colors of white, black, yellow, green and blue. Other Daruma came as a piggy bank or painted with beautiful robes used as wedding presents in the Toyokawa area.

Clay Dolls from Toyohashi,
Toyohashi tsuchiningyoo 豊橋土人形

As we have seen, they belong to the tradition of Mikawa. Since the early Meiji period, they were made in the town of Toyohashi by Koojiro Sugiura (杉浦幸次郎). His pupil, Ichitaroo Takayama (高山市太郎) started making these dolls in nearby Asahi town. Magoyoshi Yoshida, whom we met making papermachee dolls, also made clay dolls in the tradition of Mr. Suigura.
Now his pupil Mr. Nishimura 　西村茂治　continues to make these dolls.


source :　www.asahi-net.or.jp

Nishimura san makes about 60 different forms, like Tenjin Sama, Fukusuke, Kabuki actors and also Daruma dolls. Nowadays he makes dolls only after an order is placed. He has two versions of a standing Daruma, one is about 23 cm high with a pleasing face and long earrings.
Mr. Hachiroo Takayama tells us about painting a face for a doll:
"The face is not fancyful or outlandish, but it is very difficult to paint a pleasing simple face."
