Kishuu urushi 紀州漆 Kishu laquerware

- quote
The more you use Kishu lacquerware, the deeper the vermilion and black hues become.
Kishu hina dolls are also made by its traditional craftsmanship, while gorgeous and impressive Kishu temari handballs are toys that were made for princesses in olden times.
Nachi black ink stones absorb ink well and are used by calligraphers.

They are a amulet for easy birth (安産の祈願 anzan) and child rearing.

These dolls have provided some income for the rooftile makers of the region and have a religious background.
The monkey is the messenger of various shrines.
As cows eat grass (kusa), the grass is seen as a pun with kasa 瘡 eczema and skin rashes.
A clay bull is brushed over the affected skin and the following spell mumbled:
