Daruma as a woman
The Princess Daruma of Matsuyama comes with the following story.
When the legendary Empress Jinguu Koogoo (Jingu Kogo), which we met already in the story about Uto Daruma, stayed at the Hot Spring Doogo in Matsuyama on the island of Shikoku on her way to the Korean battlefield, she realized that she was pregnant.

Here is an old papermachee doll with a very special headband (hachimaki 鉢巻), almost looking like princess Himiko herself.
It has a "Treasure Ship" (takarabune 宝船) painted on the belly.
This kind of painting is often found in Daruma from Matsukawa, Sendai.

sleeping baby in a basket えじこ ejiko
ejiko were made from straw, woven around a bucket. They were layered with special material to absorb little accidents, with a special hole for the buttocks of the baby. The urine could be collected in the lower part of the bucket.
They are a speciality of Tohoku to keep the babies warm in the cold winter months.
In the many local dialects they are called
shigura ツグラ、 shibura ツブラ、izumi イズミ、izume イズメ、bugo フゴ、ijiko イジコ、ejiko エジコ
Sometimes the kokeshi can nodd with the little head.

Iwate 岩手県
In some parts of Iwate the deity of the hearth and kitchen fire is Fudo Myo-O 不動様.
He dislikes impure things. If a child pees in the kitchen by accident, mother has to extinguish the fire and throw purifying salt on it.
If you do impure things in the kitchen, your mouth will become strangely curved.
In the morning before breakfast if you use the vines of wisteria or Kuzu 葛の蔓 to light the fire, the family will become poor.
If you burn an old baby basked made from straw (ejiko えじこ, enshiko エンツコ), the child that had been in this basked will die in a fire.
