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
Nibutani-ita
This wooden carving is made in the town of Hiratori-cho, Saru-gun, Hokkaido Prefecture.
■Made in
Hokkaido
■Origin
The name of the town of Hiratori, where Nibutani Ita is made, comes from the Ainu word "pirautur," which means the space between cliffs. In Ainu life at that time, it was used as a plate to serve food directly.
■Characteristics
It is characterized by a beautiful Ainu-style pattern that combines a spiral pattern called "moreunoka" in Ainu, a spine pattern called "aiushinoka" and an eye-like pattern called "sikunoka. In addition, the Nibutani ita always has "lamulamunoka" scales carved into the wood to fill in the gaps between the patterns. Nibutani Ita, which is filled with the artists' sensibilities on the wooden board, is also attractive because each piece has a different look and feel.
