Emily Gives Jizo a Bath

Jizo is an important Buddhist figure and the patron saint of women, children and travelers. Our family picnics at a small fern grotto near our home where hundreds of Jizo statues surround a cascading waterfall. Emily learns by watching and gives Jizo-san a bath.

Emily Gives Flowers to Jizo

On a recent hike in the country we visited a Buddhist temple where Emily presented flowers to various statues of Jizo including a set of six Jizo (roku jizo) sheltered beneath a protective roof. I especially liked the tiny stone Jizo statues hanging from the roof and mixed in with several stone Daruma figures.

Japan 2014: Tokyo Jozo-ji

I used to find these Jizo sculptures incredibly creepy - they're dedicated to the souls of stillborn and aborted children and often are covered in mounds of (sometimes rotting) soft toys. Not so bad this time.

Japanese Daikoku & Ebisu Pair - Old Weathered Luck Gods

Description

Carved wooden images of Daikoku and Ebisu, two of the most famous and celebrated gods within the Japanese Shinto (native religion of Japan) pantheon (please read below to learn more about Shinto). Daikoku and Ebisu are members of a group of seven popular luck gods collectively known as Shichifukujin. These famous gods (six male and one female) are frequently seen together in Japanese art, often on a boat sailing the seas of fortune. Daikoku is usually depicted holding his wonderful luck hammer which he waves to dispense good fortune upon worthy humans. The god is also frequently shown standing upon two large bales of rice, an auspicious symbol of prosperity. The happy luck god wears one of the most captivating smiles in all Asian art and is nearly always depicted in the act of joyfully visiting wealth and happiness upon the earth (note the bag of goodies carried over his left shoulder). Ebisu is Japan's god of fisherman and the morning sun. 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 luck god 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. That Daikoku and Ebisu share many happy and gregarious traits may be less surprising when we know that Daikoku is reputed by some to be Ebisu's father.

About the Listed Item

This wonderful old Japanese Daikoku and Ebisu statue set was made during the early to mid Showa period (1926-1989) and features two small (please see size information below) carved wooden figures.

The statues include a fitted wooden storage case.

Height of statues: 2.1 inches (5.5 centimeters)
Weight of entire set (statues and box): 2.4 ounces (68 grams)

THE PATH OF WILDNESS

The Path of Wildness is easy to find
The course of a stream
Leaves blown in the wind
A beast's track through the brush
And the direction of our first inclination

The Path of Wildness is an answer and response to a prescribed way of life which may leave some individuals with a sense that their living is little more than a series of pre-determined, step-like episodes between birth and death. The stages of living between these events: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, parenthood and senior are themselves natural and in accord with the needs of the species and most individuals. Many find their satisfaction in living this course and to these individuals I have little or nothing to say. Others though long for something more; something innate, genetic and seemingly calling. Adventure and change can give a degree of satisfaction and relief yet even these may seem too tame. To those who feel drawn to something beyond the entertainment and stimulation of senses I offer a walk along The Path of Wildness. Don't bother penciling the event in your schedule, preparing a pack with goodies and supplies or even inviting a friend along, for this experience is along the course of your first inclination and you must surely always go alone.
