Temple Sanpo-Ji 三寳寺 （さんぽうじ）
Sanpooji 三宝寺 Sanpoji



A Nichiren sect temple founded in December 8 1628.
The statue in the Myoken-do Hall was carved around the middle of the Edo period and the deity it depicts is affectionately known as 'the Myoken of Narutaki.' Chinese quince trees line the approach to the temple while the cherry trees next to the Main Hall are said to have been transplanted from the Imperial Palace. Both quince and cherry trees are well known features of the temple.
On the first Sat and Sun in December, the temple bustles with people who come to take part in the 'Nichirenshu no Daikodaki' or 'Nichiren White Stewing Radish Festival.'

厄落としの大根焚き（お会式）Daikotaki
Cooking Radishes for Nichiren
kigo for mid-winter




This festival is in memorial of Saint Nichiren and Nichiro 日朗上人.
If you eat a piece of the radish stew, you will be protected for the coming year and also not contract palsy 中風封じ祈祷.
Radishes are cooked with tofu from Saga 嵯峨豆腐.

When believers gave this soup to Nichiren, he tasted it and said

大根は大仏堂の大釘の如し、
あじわいは『とうり天』の甘露のごとし」

The big radish is like a nail of the big Buddha Hall.
It tasts like the sweet dew in the paradise of Tooriten.


There is also cooked rice with yuzu citron flavor, yuzu gohan ゆず御飯, another speciality which Nichiren liked very much and praized highly as food to warm the body.

Ikefuchi Historical Park
On the south of Shakujii Pond 石神井公園, just behind a little fox shrine, is the much smaller Ikefuchi Historical Park (池淵史跡公園) where shards of pottery were found, believed to be connected to the Shakujii Castle mentioned above. It is due to have a small museum built in it by March 2010.

Just a little east of Ikefuchi Historical Park is Sanpoji Temple, built in 1394 and later moved here.

At the eastern end of Sanpoji Pond, just in front of the site of Shakujii Castle, is where Japan's first 100 meter pool was built, in 1918, for training Japanese swimmers in preparation for the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium. In 1989, the eastern end of the old pool was turned into a "Waterside Observation Park" (水辺観察園) where various rare waterside flora can be seen, and serving as a resource for the full renaturing of the area.

Pompadour
is a style of haircut which takes its name from Madame de Pompadour.

The pompadour was a fashion trend in the 1950s among male rockabilly artists and actors.
In recent years the pompadour hair style has been adopted by those enamoured with vintage culture of the late 50s and early 1960s that includes antique cars, hot rods, American folk music, rockabilly bands, and Elvis Presley.

In modern Japanese popular culture, the pompadour is a stereotypical hairstyle often worn by gang members, thugs, members of the yakuza and its junior counterpart bōsōzoku, and other similar groups such as the yankii (high-school hoodlums).
In Japan the style is known as the "Regent" hairstyle, and is often caricatured in various forms of entertainment media such as anime, manga, television, and music videos.

A pompadour is often created by combing the sides of the hair back, while fanning the top of the hair forward and curling over itself. There are numerous ways to sculpt a pompadour. Some only curl the front few inches of their hair up, while others comb their hair back and use their hands to "push" it into its desired place.

Waffeln in Form einer Meerbrasse



Diese Waffeln stillen nicht nur den Hunger nach etwas Süßem, sie bringen auch Glück für den Esser, denn das Wortspiel mit TAI (japanischer Name der Meerbrasse) und MEDE TAI (glückverheißend) bringt jedem Glück. Daher fehlen sie auf keinem Festplatz und kleinere Buden verkaufen sie vor vielen Kaufhäusern, besonders in den kalten Monaten.

Eine Waffel aus Weizenmehl, gefüllt mit süßem Bohnenmus oder Vanillecreme – das ist alles. Der Bäcker hat entweder eine getrennte Waffelform für jeden Fisch oder eine Stange mit mehreren Fischformen nebeneinander, die gleichzeitig über das Kohlenfeuer gehalten werden.
Ahnherr ist die Imagawa-Waffel von einem Laden der Edo-Zeit an der Brücke über den Fluß Imagawa im Stadtteil Kanda. Sie wird aus Weizenmehl, Zucker, Eiern und Wasser gemacht und ist einfach nur rund, mit süßem Bohnenmus oder Vanillecreme gefüllt.

Daraus entwickelten sich Waffeln in verschiedenen Tierformen, aber der TAI mit dem glückverheißenden Schwanzwort machte das Rennen.

Im Schwanzteil ist keine Füllung, den soll man am Schluß „zum Ausputzen des Mundes“ verspeisen. Wieder andere meinen, den Schwanz zuerst zu essen erhöhe das Glück bei den nächsten süßen Bissen.
Oder noch anders:
Die Herren beginnen mit dem Kopf, die Damen mit dem Schwanz. ... Japanische Lebensphilosophie!

Negoro lacquerware was produced at the temple Negoro-ji (根来寺）in Izumi province. The red layers of lacquer of the Negoro wares are intended to gradually wear away with use, revealing the black lacquer underneath. This effect has since been copied and emulated elsewhere.

Mercury was used in the production and the deities for mercury were venerated at the local temples.

quote
Shibata Zeshin
was a famous and revolutionary Japanese painter and lacquerer of the late Edo period and early Meiji era. In Japan, he is ironically known as both too modern, a panderer to the Westernization movement, and also an overly conservative traditionalist who did nothing to stand out from his contemporaries. Despite holding this odd reputation in Japan, Zeshin has come to be well-regarded and much studied among the art world of the West, in England and the United States in particular.

Zeshin learned not only the basics of painting and sketching, but also Japanese tea ceremony, haiku and waka poetry, history, literature and philosophy. This would form the foundation of his training in not only the techniques of the traditional arts, but also, and perhaps more importantly, the aesthetic and philosophy of Japanese traditional art. Many of his works from the period of his studies with Nanrei were fan paintings. The great ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi was impressed with these fan paintings and, approaching the young painter, began a friendship which would last for many years.

Today, one of the greatest collections of Zeshin's works is the Khalili Collections of London, containing over 100 works by the artist.

Combining unparalleled technical skill with a highly individual decorative style, Zeshin's paintings and lacquers are imbued with traditional humour, energy and grace, but are fully in tune with the innovative spirit of Meiji-period Japan.

quote
The pottery made on the Chita Peninsula, especially in Tokoname City in Aichi Prefecture, is known as Tokoname-yaki. Kilns have been at work here for about 900 years, and in the pottery region of the Chita Peninsula remains of 1,200 ancient kilns, outnumbering those found in any other part of the country. Production peaked during the 12th and 13th centuries, at which time an estimated 3,000 kilns were built, and Tokoname-yaki was shipped throughout Japan.

Initially, the products were religious items such as jars for storing Buddhist sutra scrolls. In the 14th and 15th century production shifted towards items for household use including pots and large storage vessels. In the 18th century evolution towards the current style of Tokoname-yaki began with the creative input of artisans. Then, in the 19th century, the red clay teapot, the best known of all Tokoname-yaki items, was created. The iron-rich clay comes out an attractive brownish red color after being kilned. These days the pots are mass-produced and used daily in many ordinary households.

In the 20th century, demand has changed with the modernization of society and new types of items have been produced. In addition to the red teapots, tea cups, tableware, flower vases, and ornaments, the production of ceramic pipes, tiles, sanitary ware, and flower pots has been on the increase, and a great variety of products are now being manufactured in Tokoname.

Tokoname is a high-fired ash-glazed ware made in Aichi Prefecture (in the region formerly known as Sanage).
Originated sometime in the 9th century.
