Oita Oni jinja 鬼神社 "Demon Shrine" oni ema 鬼絵馬 votive tablets with demons  In 1919, Fujishima Shima 藤島ツマ san started making them. She put an outline on the wooden tablet and then painted it with ink. Many now hang in the shrine, they are said to help cure headaches and illnes of the head 「頭の病気」. Hung at the entrance of your home, they ward off evil 「悪魔払い akumabarai, akuma barai - 悪魔退散 akuma taisan」. This "Demon Shrine" is located in the compound of the Tenman Shrine of Shirakihama. 白木浜の天満社 - Oni Jinja 鬼神社 source : www.asahi-net.or.jp In the main hall a lot of demon masks are shown:   A square ema, only in black. - source : hidekawa/onijinjya.htm .................................................................................................................................................................. . . . . . . . . . . Saitama 嵐山町鬼鎮神社 Shrine Kijin jinja at Ranzan (Arashiyama)  oni no ema 鬼の絵馬 votive tablets of demons hisshoo kigan 必勝祈願 to make a wish to win jinsei hisshoo 人生必勝 to win in life kigan jooju 祈願成就 prayer for realization of heartfelt wish This is called an ema fuda 絵馬札 votive amulet, that you take home and pray to it every day. Homes near this shrine post this amulet at the entrance of the house to ward off evil and prevent fire. During the Kamakura period, the samurai Hatakeyama Shigetada 畠山重忠 had his castle Sugeya joo 菅谷城 nearby and the shrine was at the KIMON direction to protect the castle. He decided to make the oni his friends and invite them to help him win battles against his enemies.  kanabo no omamori 金棒のお守り demon stick amulet quote Kijin Jinja: A different approach to Setsubun February 3 is the traditional day for throwing beans to drive away 'oni,' but at one temple in Saitama, they invite those very monsters in with the good luck The famous cry of the Setsubun tradition is "Fuku wa uchi! Oni wa soto!" ("In with good fortune, out with the oni!") Casting out oni ogres might sound like something from the climax of a "J-Horror" film, but come February 3 every year, you'll hear the phrase said by nearly every homeowner in Japan. It's all part of the Setsubun ritual -- the annual tradition of purifying one's house and family in anticipation of the New Year. If you're a father, chances are you'll be pulling on a monstrous oni mask and getting pelted with soybeans from your kids. Then afterwards, the tradition holds that you should eat the number of dried soybeans equal to your age in order to protect yourself from illness throughout the year.  Kijin Jinja: A different approach to Setsubun Setsubun is celebrated in nearly identical ways across Japan, but there are a handful of shrines that venerate the oni devils themselves, such as the famous Kijin Jinja shrine in Saitama. Here the oni are welcomed inside along with the good fortune. We can see what you're thinking: These shrines worship oni? Isn't that basically devil worship? Not exactly. The concept might sound off the wall in the context of a monotheistic, good-versus-evil sort of belief system. But Japan is a land of innumerable deities, and the oni, while often misrepresented as 'demons' in translation, are actually far more complex than their frightening countenances might suggest. The Kijin Jinja shrine has stood in Saitama prefecture for more than 800 years. The priests treat the oni as a god of triumph and victory. Samurai warriors prayed here before their battles. Now, in more peaceful times, students visit to pray for triumph over a different sort of adversary: their school entrance exams. Those with serious prayers in need of fulfillment leave big iron clubs as offerings. This stems from the phrase "Oni ni kanabo" -- literally "an oni with an iron club," which is an idiom for "unbeatability" in Japanese. "Fuku wa uchi! Oni wa uchi! Akuma soto!" "In with good fortune! In with oni! And out with the devils!" source : tokyo/play The town of Mizunami 瑞浪市 in Gifu is also famous for its "Demon Rock", Oni Iwa 鬼岩. And a Setsubun festival where the demons are called into the home to bring good luck. In Mizunami , they say " Oni wa uchi 鬼は内 Fuku wa uchi 福は内".

On this day, - your own bad luck will affect your friends. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: quote Lucky And Unlucky Days in Japan In the West, avoid making important moves on a Friday 13th. The day is considered unlucky and decisions made on that day will have unfortunate consequences. For the Japanese, Friday 13th is just one of several unlucky days. The number 4 is unlucky because its pronunciation is the same as the word for "death". Therefore April 4th is unlucky (4th month, 4th day or 4-4). July 7th and August 8th (7-7 and 8-8) are considered lucky. In fact for the Japanese, every single day is associated with luck, misfortune, or something in between. Delicate planning is required to make sure important occasions happen on the best day. This page explains 六曜 or Rokuyo, and the lucky and unlucky days of the Japanese Calendar. Their impact on weddings, hospital stays, funerals, baby booms and doing business in Japan is discussed. source : by John Cochrane - ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::  akuma no Daruma 悪魔 Daruma the Demon - MORE netsuke with Akuma - source : deadpool-shisui.blogspot |
