Prime-minister Noda, likening himself to loach fish,
says charisma isn't everything
Japan’s next prime minister admits he is no Mr Charisma — Yoshihiko Noda likens himself to a marine bottom-feeder rather than a glittering goldfish. But that, he says, is his appeal.

quote from Japan Times

Loach comment boosts folk dance
MATSUE, Shimane Pref. —
New Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has given a boost to folk dancers and officials promoting the traditional "dojo sukui" (loach-scooping) comic dance in Yasugi, Shimane Prefecture, after recently comparing himself to the stream-dwelling fish.
The preservation group Yasugi-bushi Hozon Kai,
set up in 1911, hopes to see a sharp rise in the dance's popularity, said fourth-generation grand master Oito Watanabe, 66.
On the centenary of its founding, the group, which has about 4,000 members in 68 branches from Shimane Prefecture in the west to the Kanto region, wants to build on Noda's remark at special events, including a commemorative performance later this month in Tokyo, Watanabe said.
Yasugi officials said they also hope to capitalize on the prime minister's comment through increased sales of cultured loach, for which the city is renowned, and greater patronage of the local theater dedicated to the dance.
Noda likened himself to the humble fish in a speech prior to Monday's Democratic Party of Japan leadership election, quoting an aphorism,
"A loach does not have to emulate a goldfish,"
by calligrapher and poet Mitsuo Aida (1924-1991).

Once a man had scooped loach ind put them in a bucket for about 10 days.
When he went to eat them, they had all turned to imori イモリ newts.

A pious man once caught a huge loach in the river and soon built a grave for it. That night a beautiful young woman appeared in his dream and said:
"I want to thank you, now I can go to paradise!"
The man lived on for many years.

saruoni, saru-oni　猿鬼 at Iwaido Shrine
This is an old shrine dedicated to Ônamuchi-no-Mikoto (or Iwatsukuwake no mikoto, according to another theory) and Kukurihime-no-Kami.
It is not known when the shrine was founded, but it is known as a shrine related to the legend of Saru-oni, which has been passed down from generation to generation in Yanagida, Noto Town. The legend goes like this:
Once upon a time,
a monster or preternatural creature called Saru-oni that lived in a rock cave bit cows and horses to death and did evil to humans. Then Keta Myojin (a gracious deity) of the highest ranking shrine in Noto shot Saru-oni in the eye. His corpse was buried in the cave and a shrine was built.
Iwaido Shrine has its origins in the legend. Local people call it “Saru-oni-no-miya” or “the shrine of Saru-oni”. There are places in the neighborhood that have names related to the legend.
The name “Tôme” (hit in the eye) comes from the legend according to which an arrow hit Saru-oni in the eye. The name “Kuro-kawa” (black river) is derived from a story according to which a river of Saru-oni’s black blood was formed. In addition, Saru-oni, who had his eye shot with an arrow, cleansed his eyes with ôbako (a kind of herb), which gave the name Ôbako to a local area.

Tosa Washi Paper 土佐和紙
In Japan there are many brands of washi paper produced through traditional hand-making techniques. Of these, Kochi Prefecture’s Tosa-washi is especially known for its utility in repairing prestigious works of art.
By applying the paper with a specially purposed glue, damaged paintings and manuscripts can be made whole again. These have ranged from ukiyo-e color prints in Japan to documents stored in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, as well as Michelangelo’s paintings on the Sistine Chapel ceiling and various works of art stored in the Louvre Museum in Pairs.
The secret behind the globally recognized quality of Tosa-washi is found in a combination of traditional techniques and Kochi’s rich natural resources. Though the origins of the paper are not conclusively known, in the Engishiki, a Heian-Period (794-1185) record of laws and customs, it’s noted that taxes in Tosa Province (now Kochi Prefecture) were collecting using paper. It is thus estimated that the paper’s history goes back at least 1,000 years.
The key to manufacturing quality washi lies in its main ingredients: water and kozo, the paper mulberry tree. The Niyodo River, said to have the best water on the island of Shikoku, runs through the middle of Kochi—and top-quality washi constituents such as kozo and mitsumata (Oriental paperbush) have grown along this clear stream since ancient times.
As the quality of the area’s paper came to be recognized, the number of craftspeople grew rapidly, and by the mid-Meiji Period (1868-1912), the region became the chief washi producer in Japan.
Tosa-washi is characterized not only by its quality, but also by its prolific variation. While some washi makers produce only calligraphy paper or translucent paper for shoji sliding doors, Tosa-washi is manufactured in roughly 300 variations. It’s highly valued for its thin, yet durable nature, which has led to it being known as kagero-no-hane, or dragonfly wing. It is the world’s thinnest hand-made paper. These properties have been realized through the time-honed techniques of the craftspeople who so skillfully intertwine the long, thick fibers of the kozo. The paper’s thinness and durability open up a broad range of uses, including the repair of ancient works of cultural heritage.
The traditions of Tosa-washi are still passed on to this day. With modern uses ranging from craft work to wallpaper, there’s surely a style of Tosa-washi that’s just right for you.
