Yokoyama Taikan 横山大観
2 November 1868 - 26 February 1958
was the pseudonym of a major figure in Meiji, Taishō and early Shōwa period Japanese painting. He is notable for helping create the Japanese painting technique of Nihonga.
His real name was Yokoyama Hidemaro.

Taikan was born in Mito city, Ibaraki Prefecture, as the eldest son of Sakai Sutehiko, an ex-samurai family in Mito clan. He was adopted into his mother's family, from whom he received the name of "Yokoyama".

In 1889, Taikan enrolled in the first graduating class of the Tōkyō Bijutsu Gakkō (the predecessor to the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music), which had just been opened by Okakura Kakuzō (aka Okakura Tenshin).

Several of Taikan's works has been selected as the subjects of a commemorative postage stamps by the Japanese government.

Etegami postcards

[ . BACK to DARUMA MUSEUM TOP . ]
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Postcards including paintings
etegami 絵手紙

Letters, but mostly in the form of postcards painted with an encouragement or greeting to a friend. Some even contain a haiku and are almost like haiku with paintings (haiga).

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

quote
Etegami is a Japanese folk art consisting of simple hand-painted drawings accompanied by a few apt words, and they are almost always done on postcards for quick and easy mailing. The basic concept has been around for a long time; the tradition of handmade New Years cards testifies to this. But the present day surge in etegami popularity began after the work of artist Koike Kunio was taken up by the media in the late 1970s.

Koike is the current president of the Japan Etegami Society, and may rightly be considered the father of the modern etegami movement. The etegami motto, which he made famous, is “heta de ii, heta ga ii” (roughly translated:
It’s fine to be clumsy.
In fact, the best etegami are clumsy!)

Encouraged by this motto, more and more ordinary folk–people who don’t think of themselves as “artists”– both young and old, have taken up etegami as an enjoyable and relaxing pastime. If you google “etegami,” you are likely to find an increasing number of non-Japanese references to it, evidence that its popularity is gradually spreading to other parts of the world.

There are very few hard-and-fast rules to etegami. The traditional tools include writing brushes, sumi ink, gansai color blocks, and absorbent washi postcards, but non-traditional tools are acceptable. However, if it doesn’t have both drawing and words, it isn’t an etegami. Etegami are meant to be sent, rather than hoarded or displayed in frames.

The Japanese words on this etegami are from a song that is sung to accompany a child’s game where one tries to stare down an opponent. “Daruma, daruma, let’s play the staring game!” The first one to look away or burst out laughing loses.

This is an original Etegami painting on a soft washi card. Etegami is a traditional Japanese folk art that combines simple images with thoughtful words.

quote
I started this painting like 6 months ago for the longest time it was just a daruma on a piece of wood for Christmas I decided to finish the painting by adding Hungarian (since Laura's family is Hungarian) flower designs inspired by their traditional style of embroidery, Kalocsa.
This seems to be something I have been doing combining Daruma's and western European culture, I hope it isn't too culturally insensitive of me, I just love the design of the Daruma as well as the cultural meaning. Surprisingly I think that the flowers and the daruma work well together and the Kalocsa was a fun style to work in.

Donji  鈍字 Kanji Riddles

Amusing riddles with the spelling of Chinese Characters (kanji 漢字), which the grown-up children of Edo liked to ask each other. This was part of the puns and word plays (dajare), see below.
大江戸の鈍字

竹冠の下に間をあけて廾を書いたもの(ヨリ正確に記せば、の右下に点を打つ)を、誰れがつぶした筭{そろばん}を玉がない(筭(算)字も正確には王を玉、廾は右下に点を打つ)と解くものだけれど、これを「玉」と「目」の草書体同士が近似した形であるところから成立する鈍字である.

鈍字では昔と言う漢字を「弘法大師」と読ませています。その解説は、「昔からご縁日」と記されています。
 漢字「昔」を分解すると、〔廾(二十)・一・日]21日は弘法さんの縁日です。

This one is in honor of Kobo Daishi.
His memorial day is the 21. The kanji for 昔 (mukashi) above the temple is written with a combination of the numbers 20 廾 and 1 一 and day 日.





「内に人がない」ので、「留守」

Inside the kanji 内 there is no human being, so this means

"No one at home".
