Onishi Clay Daruma 尾西のだるま

Made in Gifu prefecture. Strongly influenced by Inuyama clay dolls, they are a part of Okoshi Tsuchi ningyo 起の土人形, clay dolls that stand up. The maker, Nakashima Kazuo san, has learned the trade in Nagoya. He and his wife are the fifth generation of these clay doll makers, but both are very old now.

These clay dolls are sold at the local temple festivals, especially at temple Mie-Ji 美江寺 (Miedera).

江戸時代中期の頃　名古屋で製作技術を習得した陶工がこの地で創始したものと云う犬山の土人形の影響を多く受けているが　棚尾土人形の傾向で大型で歌舞伎物を題材とした物が多い現在は五代目の　中島一夫さんが製作されていたが高齢によりほとんど製作されていない主に岐阜の美江寺の蚕鈴のほか歌舞伎物　武者人形　が作られていた.
