なめくぢの化物 The Namekuji Slug Monster
Once there was an actor with the stage name of タヌキ Tanuki. He got a message from his mother and was on his way home to visit her. On a pass where monsters come out at night it was already evening. A namekuji slug monster came out and took him for a real Tanuki badger. The monster asked him for something that he was most afraid of, so he answered 金 Gold Money . The next evening the slug, who thought to fight him to the death, threw a box of 1000 gold coins into his home.

In the 氷上郡 Hikami district
The father of a well-to-do family died and had one Senryobako buried with him in the grave. The second one he gave to his adopted child. The brothers of this man got envious, shape-shifted to エンマ大王 King Enma of Hell and dug the first Senryobako out of the grave. Then they went to the home of the adopted child. This had already been killed by other relatives who gave it some ぼたもち Botamochi rice cakes with poison.

貧乏神 Binbogami - Deity of Poverty
On the second day of the New Year villagers got special wood out of the forest and offer it at the House Altar. On the 15th day it is used to cook rice gruel.
Once a poor grandfather used fresh wood for the cooking, but the Binbogami who lived in the kitchen ceiling did not like the smoke and got angry. He asked the old man: "Grandfather, what do you dislike most?"
"Well, I have no money." replied Grandfather. So the Binbogami threw three Senryobako at him and left the house for good. Since then people use old wood cut on the second day.

Butsugai Fusen 物外不遷
1795～1867



Takeda Butsugai 武田 物外（たけだ もつがい)
寛政7年（1795年）3月 - 慶応3年11月25日（1867年12月20日）

He was a teacher of martial arts, a Zen monk, painter and wrote haiku. He was also skilled in Ikebana, Igo and Go, Tea ceremony, Calligraphy and other fine arts of his time.

Japanese Reference


:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Takeda Butsugai (also known or spelt as Takeda Genkotsu Motsugi) was born in Onomichi 3rd March 1794 (end of the Tokugawa Shogunate era).

When he was 6, his parents sent him to Ryutai Ji (竜泰寺）where he lived until he was 12. When he turned 12 he left the temple and began his martial arts training under the tai jutsu instructor of the Gei Shu Han, master Takahashiihyoei Mitsumasa. He achieved Menkyou kaiden of Nanba Ippo Ryu.

From age 19 to 30, he traveled throughout Japan studying Buddhism sword and pen. At 31 he became the head priest of the Saihouji Temple (済法寺). At the age of 12 years, Butsugai became a monk at the Denpuku-ji temple in Geishu (present day's Hiroshima City), a temple of the Sodo sect of Zen. Where he was then known as Takeda Butsugai Osho (Osho is a term of respect for a monk).

Takeda Butsugai was a child of Miki Heita, a retainer of Matsudaira Okinokami and Lord of Matsuyama-han (present day's Ehime Prefecture). He studied Nanba-ippo Ryu with Takahasi Inobei Mitsumasa and official Taijutsu (unarmed combat) instructor of Geishu, for about seven years and was awarded “Menkyo Kaiden”.
After this Butsugai travelled around many parts of Japan and kept studying in both literary and martial arts until the age of 30. On top of Nanba-Ippo Ryu, he studied Yoshin-ryu, Shibukawa Ryu, Kito-ryu, Takenouchi-ryu, Yagyu-ryu, Sekiguchi-ryu, etc. and, by adopting strong points of each style and created his style “Fusen-ryu”.

Butsugai died in 1867.

Incense Burner

Incense Burner

Kooro - Daruma as an Incense Burner　香炉とだるま

Incense burners for religious use come in various forms.
Pots with three or four legs with or without a lid (kooro, koro 香炉)


source :　new.uniquejapan.com
Size: 22cm (8.6″) long

This bronze container shows Daruma reclining on a boat.
He is also carrying his szepter, which comes apart if you lift Daruma off his boat. The boat shows careful imprints of Sanskrit letters on both sides. The smiling Daruma is about 10 cm high. He is obviously enjoying some evening cool in China.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

You can find some huge forms of this type in front of any temple. Most of these traditional containers take their form form old ritual implements of the Shang dynasty in China. They have been introduces into Japan by the Zen sect during the Kamakura period. Some have handles on both sides.

One special version of the Zen sect is a large metal bowl in a stand with six long legs and six small legs for decoration.

The long legs can be more than one meter long. This form is called as it looks, "incense burner with legs of an octopus"(takoashigooro 蛸足香炉).

The lid with many holes can be shaped in the form resembling a mountain and is then called "incense burner with a lid in mountain form" (hakusangooro 博山香炉).

This type comes from China and the oldest artefacts found were made of bronze during the Han dynasty.

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

Incense pans with a long grip (egooro, ekooro 柄香炉)



They are used to carry incense around (shuro 手炉) during religious ceremonies. The grip is usually about 20 to 30 cm long and can be made from wood with a laquer finish. The pan at one side is usually without a lid and at the insertion and the end of the grip there are artistic patterns, which give the article its name. We have incense pans with a little lion (shishichin egooro 獅子鎮柄香炉) or a small vase (byoochin egooro 瓶鎮柄香炉) or in the form of the tail of a magpie (shakuo egooro シャク尾柄香炉) at the end of the grip. Some others take the form of a
lotus flower with a long stem and a leaf on the grip (rengegata egooro
蓮華形柄香炉).

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


Incense trays (koo-inban 香印盤, jookooban 常香盤)



They have the form of a round tray modelled like a lotus flower used to burn incense for a long time in front of a Buddha statue. In this case incense powder is layed out in the form of complicated patterns or the Sanscrit syllables for the Buddha statue and the burning starts from one side. If the powder is layed out in a special pattern you could tell the time from the parts that had burned. These trays have
been used since the Nara period.

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

Two-layered incense burner (kasha 火舎)



This type is often used for special ceremonies of the Esoteric Buddhism on a large altar. During these ceremonies four burners of this kind are placed at the four corners of the altar and one in the middle. Usually it has a pot with three legs, a flat container and a lid with a knob in form of a wishfulfilling jewel or a little pagoda.
The lid has many holes in different artistic forms.
You can read a lot more about this and other Buddhist ritual implements in my German book about this subject, see below.

My Photos to be added

Now let us look at some Darumas posing as incense burners. They are usually ment for private use during the tea ceremony, not for the use in temples.
These two come form a similar form and are made of Bizen pottery.
Daruma's beard and eyebrows are quite heavily modelled. They are 7 cm high and you can easily find them now in Bizen city.

These two are also from Bizen pottery. They are very similar, but the
openings at the back have different shapes. Also the nose of one is a
lot more rounded than that of the other one. They are 6 cm high and
you have to put them on a pottery plate to use them.

. . . CLICK here for Photos !

This smiling fellow has a wide-open mouth as if he was laughing (not yawning as in the AKUBI story). His robe and the flywhisk (hossu) are nicely modelled. The plate is big enough to hold one of the mosquito coils used everywhere during the Japanese summer. He is 10 cm high.


The next two are bronze containers with Daruma.
They might have been used in a Zen temple for the private use of a priest. Daruma carries his priest's scepter (nyoi) and looks pretty serious.
The bronze of this seated Daruma is highly polished and shining. It is 11 cm high with two openings at the back and an open mouth. Daruma's robe is swung heavily around his forehead.

Gefäße zum Abbrennen von Räucherwerk

1. Opfergefäße für Räucherwerk und Duftstoffe (koo kuyoogu)
Seit alter Zeit herrschte in Indien der Brauch, Räucherwerk zu verbrennen, weil viele Dinge in der feuchten, heißen Jahreszeit leicht verschimmeln und verrotten. Anfangs verwendete man Duftstoffe, um die Buddhastatuen, den heiligen Ort und den eigenen Körper zu reinigen, später kam dazu die Vorstellung einer Opfergabe an das Haupt-Heilswesen. Man unterscheidet zwischen Räucherwerk (kunkoo), das in Räucherbecken verbrannt wurde und Duftstoffen, mit denen der Körper eingerieben wurde.
