Comment from the creator
In Japan, it is said that tools that have been used for 100 years acquire spirituality and become deities of mourning, and since the Muromachi period, they have been depicted in otogi-zoshi or fairy tales, and have become familiar to people.
Crafts that have been used and embedded in people's daily lives since ancient times may have also become tsukemogami without our noticing.
In this issue of NFT, we are trying to imagine 20 traditional crafts from all over Japan as Tsukumogami(gods of mourning).
Please take a look and see if there is a Tsukemogami to your liking.
Introduction of each work
Edo armor
These helmets and armor are produced mainly in Sumida, Taito and Bunkyo wards of Tokyo.
■Made in
Tokyo
■Origin
It is said that the armor, known as "large armor," first appeared between the 8th and 12th centuries to protect the whole body from bows and arrows as warlords began to fight on horseback.
■Characteristics
Edo armor is a reproduction of large armor based on careful period research, and is characterized by its massive design and solid quality. While being armor, it is also a garment that embodies the unique beauty of Japan, the fruit of techniques such as metalwork, lacquer work, and dyed leather. From the 17th to the mid-19th century, when no major civil wars had occurred for more than 200 years, parents began to display large armor, a symbol of strength, on Dragon Boat Festival, a time when they wished for the healthy growth of their sons. One of the charms of this armor is that it is sturdy and has an unfading style, reflecting the craftsmen's desire for parents to feel affection for their children even after their children have grown up.
