Antique Japanese Fushimi Doll - Fukakusa Ebisu Ningyo
Description
Antique Japanese Fushimi ceramic figure. Dolls such as this are thought to have originated in the town of Fushimi near the ancient imperial capital of Kyoto. The figures were first manufactured around the start of the Edo period (1600-1868) and were sold to pilgrims visiting the famous Fushimi Inari Shinto shrine (Shinto is the native religion of Japan). The dolls were thought to possess power from the shrine which would bless the homes of the returning pilgrims, and thus Fushimi dolls have always been appreciated as spiritual gifts. Fushimi dolls are also sometimes called Fukakusa or Inari dolls and are considered one of the top three varieties of traditional Japanese fire clay dolls. Sadly, these dolls are one of Japan's disappearing crafts, as while there were once as many as twenty kilns in Fushimi dedicated to the creation of these figures, there remains today in this town only one.
About the Listed Item

This figure depicts the Japanese luck god Ebisu who is often seen in the company of a large fish (please read below to learn more about Ebisu).

More about Ebisu
Ebisu is Japan's god of fisherman, the morning sun and one of the seven popular luck gods within the Shinto pantheon. Ebisu is also sometimes regarded as the protector of small children, a role he shares with the Buddhist deity Jizo. Legend holds the Ebisu was once a real man (a fisherman in fact) who rescued a boneless (it's a long story) god named Hiruko from the sea. Ebisu (who's full name at that time was Ebisu Saburo) went on to live a life full of troubles after which point he become a Shinto deity. Ebisu has always been popular in Japan and images of this happy, ever smiling deity are found everywhere in art, masks and statuary. Ebisu is sometimes depicted holding a long fishing rod in his right hand and a large sea bream (tai) fish under his left arm. Ebisu is often seen with another famous Shinto luck god Daikoku who is reputed to be Ebisu's father. Ebisu and Daikoku are both members of the Shichifukujin group of seven luck gods. These famous gods (six male and one female) are frequently seen together in Japanese art, often in a boat sailing the seas of fortune. Ebisu is unique among the seven as the only god who is native to Japan, the other gods all tracing their origins to religious traditions within other cultures.

Antique Japanese Ceramic Lantern Meiji Period
Inquiries: softypapa@gmail.com
Description:
This old Japanese ceramic lantern would have once provided illumination similar to a western-style candle. The lantern features a large bowl which the user would fill with oil. A wick would then be inserted into a special holder in the center and lit. The lantern is made of rough stoneware with a dark glaze coating on the inside of the bowl and along the outer rim. The lantern is in poor condition with a large chip missing from the outer edge. The appeal of this piece is heightened by a very dark and rich patina resulting from age and accumulated sticky lantern soot. This old ceramic lantern dates from the Japanese Meiji period (1868-1912) and was acquired in the historic city of Shizuoka, Japan near the foot of Mt. Fuji.
Size:
Height: 1.0 inches (2.5 centimeters)
Diameter of oil bowl: 2.7 inches (7.0 centimeters)
Weight: 2.2 ounces (62 grams)
More about Japanese lanterns:
Lanterns have a long history in Japan and include many types such as ceramic oil lanterns as well as wood and paper varieties for use with candles. The first hand-held lanterns or chochin came to Japan from China during the Muromachi period (1392-1482). Many westerners are familiar with the oblong shaped dangling paper lantern called the bura-jochin which travelers carried before them on a short stick. These lanterns are commonly spotted in samurai movies held by soldiers racing after the hero during a nighttime chase. Less familiar is the Odawara-jochin or collapsible paper lantern which could be closed accordion-style and carried in the bosom of the kimono. These lanterns included a durable metal case to protect the lantern's delicate paper from being crushed. The lantern paper was often decorated with a painting or calligraphy, and the top of the lantern would normally include a handy lid which allowed the user to easily light the traditional Japanese candle before use.

More about Japanese sake and sake utensils
Sake has long been an important part of Japanese culture. In the past, sake was considered a very special item, reserved for only the most important occasions, such as weddings, birth celebrations and other auspicious events. Sake was considered a sacred drink, and accordingly the first glass poured was always offered to the gods before the remainder could be shared among the celebrants. Sake can be served either warm or cold and special sake flasks are used to both prepare and dispense this unique Japanese drink. Sake is warmed either by immersing the flask (already filled with sake of course) into warm water until the desired temperature is reached or through the use of a special sake kettle called a choshi. The latter method however, though common in old Japan, is today usually reserved for ceremonial events only. Over time, sake utensils, such as cups have developed their own ritual significance which is still evident in modern Japan. For example, it is today common at Japanese engagement parties for the man and woman to exchange sake cups as a sign of their mutual intent to marry. Very beautiful sake cups are also given away to celebrate the birth of a child, as these cherished items are considered symbolic of the significance of the new parent-child relationship. Though normally small in size, sake cups and flasks have long been used in Japan as a medium for the expression of art and calligraphy. Hand-painted cups and flasks are highly collectable both within and outside Japan and are eagerly sought after by collectors who value their utilitarian nature and artistic splendor.

Arita Japan 400-Year-Old Porcelain Town - Arita Yaki, The Cradle Of Porcelain Manufacturing ???????? ???? ????
With a population of less than 20,000 people in this quit Japanese town, since the 17th century, Arita has been one of the primary producers of Japan's most prestigious exports: Arita yaki, Arita ware porcelain.
The porcelain from Arita, dating back 400 years, was officially dubbed as one of Japan's Traditional Crafts in 1977.
Since 1616, Arita, located within the Kyushu region of Japan, has been one of the most renowned places to craft porcelain since the discovery of its raw materials.
The porcelain creations from Arita that use traditional methods of production are nearly glass-like. They are very thin and light, yet durable and adorned in wondrous patterns.
Arita ware has been a popular export to mostly Europe since the 17th century. There are far fewer porcelain kilns still in operation today though.
Ceramic artisans in Arita today insist on creating the traditional way to preserve this significant part of Japan's history. Every piece of Arita ware is forged in fire for several days before it is finally hand painted.
When planning a trip to Japan, there are numerous porcelain-themed attractions in Arita Japan, including the Porcelain Park museum and shrine built with a ceramic archway.
