Edo Katchu 江戸甲冑 Warrior Armor from Edo

■ Traditional Technologies and Techniques
1- Edo Katchu (warrior armor) helmets (called kabuto) are comprised of two parts, the hachi (the helmet bowl) and the shikoro (the nape-guard).
2- 鉢づくり The hachi can be made in one of two ways. The first method is riveting together numerous pie-shaped metal plates to form the helmet bowl. The second method involves shaping the helmet bowl by beating metal to conform to a rounded armorer's last.
鉢づくりは、たたき出し、絞り、はぎ合わせ、張抜き又は型抜き。
3- 錏 / 錣 Shikoro production commences with numerous layers of Japanese paper being laid over one another. Rows of kozane (armored scales) are then prepared and laid over the paper backing. A single kozaneita 小札 (row of armored scales) is comprised of numerous individually-placed kozane.
威板(おどしいた)
4- Kozaneita are joined to one another both above and below using laces made of leather or chord. The lacing methods are called odoshi 威. One method called kebiki odoshi 毛引き威し is full lacing whereby a single lace is horizontally threaded without gaps through all the kozane on a single kozaneita. Another method called sugake odoshi 素懸威し is sparse-point lacing that creates a diamond pattern.



■ Traditionally Used Raw Materials
The following materials are traditionally used when manufacturing Edo Katchu: brass, copper, steel, washi (traditional Japanese paper), leather (deer, goat, pig, cow, horse), silk cord, cotton cord
真鍮、銅、鉄、和紙、皮革(鹿、山羊、豚、牛、馬)、絹紐、木綿紐など

■ History and Characteristics
The Boys' Day Festival 端午の節句 is one of long-established traditions, it being an occasion that celebrates the healthy growth of male children.

According to existing historical records, in the "Shoku Nihongi," an imperially-commissioned history written during the Nara Period (710-794), there is reference to a Boys' Day Festival being celebrated in the court of the Emperor Shomu in the year 733.

In those days, it is said that a ceremony called Umayumi 騎射 was conducted to sweep away evil. Prayers were also offered for the peace and safety of the Emperor's realm.

Around the middle of the Edo Period (1603-1868), in celebrating the hope that male children would develop into strong and healthy individuals, it became popular to place dolls adorned in military dress in the home. Overtime, this tradition changed into the unique practice of simply displaying Katchu (sets of warrior armor) in the home.

In contemporary society, Katchu sets are displayed with yumi 弓 (bows), tachi 太刀 (swords), jingasa 陣笠 (ancient soldier's hats), fukinagashi 吹流し (wind socks) and kagaribi かがり火 (watch fires).

Shuuzenji 修善寺 Shuzen-Ji
静岡県伊豆市修善寺964 - 964 Shuzenji, Izu-shi, Shizuoka



- quote
Shorosan Shuzenj
Main object of worship: Statue of Dainichi Nyorai

One of the oldest structures in eastern Japan, the Temple dates from some 1200 years back. Priest Kukai (774-835), a great priest in Japanese Buddhism (see Heikenji for details), was once travelling across the country for missionary work, and stopped by this lonely village. Local people was greatly moved with his religious teachings and magical powers he performed. Tradition runs that while the Priest was staying here, he encountered with a boy and his sick father in the riverbed near the Temple. The boy was washing father's body with river water. Sympathizing with them, the boy in particular for his filial piety toward the father, Priest Kukai, who was believed to be endowed with miraculous power, approached them and tapped his Tokko (also called Dokko), or a ritual bell with a single-pronged handle, on a rock in the riverbed. Then, suddenly hot water gushed out. The father bathed in the warm water and could cure his sickness. The Tokko turned out to be a magic wand.

This is the origin of the hot springs in Shuzenji district, so the folklore goes. Today, there is a roofed compartment on the riverbed near the Temple called Tokko-no-yu, where the Priest is said to have met the boy and his father. It is now a major tourist attraction in Shuzenji town and hot water is still welling up.

Shuzenji goma 修禅寺護摩

Shuzenji Temple was built in 807 AD.
Legend has it that the famous Saint Kobo and his disciple founded the temple while traveling around Japan. While Kobo Daishi (Saint Kobo) stayed only temporarily, his disciple Korin Taitoku stayed and built up a small Shingon temple called Fukuchizan Shuzen Bannnanzenji; the origin of present day Shuzenji temple.

Shuzenji Temple’s proprerties were far more extensive than today. The entrance to the temple ground was once by Yokose near the present day red bridge (Shuzenji-Bashi). Eight satellite temples once surrounded the main temple, echoing the style of the Shingon mandala in which eight Buddhisatvas surround the main Buddha “Dainichi Nyorai”. The last of these satellite temples disappearered about 100 years ago.

During the time of Kamakura shogunate (1185-1333), the Hojo clan dominated Japanesse political power. The first shogun Yoritomo had married Hojo Masako, and after the shogun’s death, his widow’s relatibes became the shogunate’s regents, and thereby the Izu Peninsula, they firmly controlled the Shuzenji area. Shuzenji Temple was the most important temple in their territory. For this reason, some important political rivals or enemies were exiled to Shuzenji Templ. In some cases they were also murdered there.

In 1193, the shogun Minamoto Yoritomo (whose wife was of the Hojo clan) had his brother Minamoto Noriyoriexiled to Shuzenji on suspicion of treason. Noriyori lived in a satellite temple of Shuzenji Temple called Shinkoin, once located below the present-day Hiei Shrine. He was attacked and killed there in 1193 or 1194.

In 1203 the second shogun Minamoto Yoriie (1182-1204) was exiled to Shuzenji Temple. He had been too young to be a responsible ruler, and when he became seriously ill, all his countries had been confiscated. All actual power came to be held by his grandfather Hojo Tokimasa who planned a rebellion against his maternal relatives, the Hojo’s together with his father-in-law of the Hiki clan. The plan was discovered, the Hilki clan was crushed and Yoriie was forced to abdiccate and was exiled to Shuzenji Temple. He was murdered in or near the temple on July 18, 1204 at the age of 22. It is said that Yoriie’s bathwater was poisoned, causing his death. A wooden mask of a red contorted face is in Shuzenji Temple’s museum. It is said that this is was Yoriie’s carved death mask.

After Yoriie’s death, his mother Hojo Masako commissioned various sutras, statues and a shrine to help her son’s soul find repose, and perhaps out of remorse for probable collaboration in ordering his murder. It is said that she commissioned Shuzenji Temple’s main statue of Dainichi Nyorai, made by the famous sculptor Jikkei in 1210 for Yoriie’s sake.

In 1275, Shuzenji Temple's domination was changed from Shingon To Rinzai Buddhism, supposedly in honor of the famous Chinese Rinzai monk Rankei Doryu. Rankei Doryu came to Japan in1246.He worked to establish and spread Zen Buddhism in Kamakura. He gained the support and respect of the shogunate's regent Hojo Tokimune.When Genghis Khan's Mongolia armies threatened Japan around 1274, Rankei Doryu was suspected of spying and was exlited to Shuzenji Temple. He was later found to be innocent and released. After leavibg Shuzenji Temple, he developed Rinzai Zen theory while living as a hermit on a mountainside for 20 years, Shuzenji Temple reminded a Rinzai temple for 243 years.

In 1361,a fuedal lord of Izu, Hatakeyama Kunihiko rebelled against the shogunate. He was defeated and took refuge in Shuzenji castle was set on fire; the fire spread to Shuzenji Temple, destroying it.

Shuzenji Temple was rebuilt, but in 1407 another fire broke out, destroying the main building completely.

The temple was rebuilt by Hojo Soun in 1489. Hojo Soun was feudal lord in Nirayama. He donated much land and money to the temple. He invited his uncle, the Soto Zen master Ryukei Hanjo-Zenji to become its abbot. Since then, Shuzenji Temple had belonged to the Soto school of Buddhism.

A number of famous Japanese writers have come to Shuzenji, visited Shizenji Temple, and were inspired by its history. in 1910, the famous writer Natsume Soseki also came to Shuzenji and wrote "Shuzenji Diary". The famous Kabuki playwright Okamoto Kido was inspired by his visit to Shuzenji in 1911. He wrote the Kabuki play called "Shuzenji Monogatari" which is based on the story of Minamoto Yoriie's tragic death. Shimaki Kensaku visited Shuzenji in 1944 and wrote the essay "Red Frog", which is about the stories of Shuzenji.

Many monks used to live and train in Shuzenji Temple. About 60 monks still lived in the temple about 100 years ago. The monastery was closed about 20 years ago when their number dropped to less than 10.

Stone Mason (1765 - 1832)
He became an apprentice of the craft when he was 15 and became independent at around 20. He worked until his end, when he was 68. He made more than 340 stone statues.


The wild river Mibugawa 三峰川, a trubutary to the Tenryugawa 天竜川, which flows from Nagano to Shizuoka, was flooding regularly during strong rain periods.
So to appease the spirit of the river, this Mizukiri Fudo was built.

The rice is offered to the statue since the evening of the 21st and then used to prepare the gruel on the 28th.

What makes this highly unusual is that the temple includes a Japanese garden and Shinden hall designated as Important Cultural Properties. The temple was established in the 12th century. The Shinden hall was moved from the Kyoto Imperial Palace in 1647.
The temple has had major financial problems with its cemetery business.

The statue of Fudo had been venerated at the temple 成就院 but after the Meiji Restoration most Buddhist statues were re-located to the temple Dairyu-Ji by the priest 太宗玄義和尚 and the worship of Fudo was revived.
Most visitors were the elderly, so now it is known as the "Fudo who grants a long life".
They often come on the Fudo day of the rooster 酉(とり)or on the 28th of a month, the Day of Fudo Myo-O.
