Fuji. Issa's hometown and the area around it were surrounded by mountains, so Fuji couldn't be seen from rice fields there. The hokku seems to evoke early morning on a day at the beginning of June on which rice-planting will begin. Since planting has to be done quickly and at almost the same time for the whole village, nearly everyone in the village cooperates in the effort. Teams of villagers are now going around delivering bundles of rice seedlings which have been raised in seedbeds and will now be transplanted in wet fields. Walking along a raised path between the wet fields, the delivery people stop at each field and throw the designated number of bundles into it at appropriate intervals so that the shamanic saotome women who will do the initial planting will be able to plant the shoots efficiently. To deliver the shoots to the far sides of the fields, people must throw the shoots hard and with a high trajectory. Beyond the fields rises Mt. Fuji in the distance, and morning sunlight is now on its upper slopes.<br /><br />As the bundles of shoots arc through the air again and again -- perhaps also catching some direct sunlight -- it seems to Issa as if the people throwing them were trying to reach the sacred mountain's peak. Of course he doesn't mean the people are literally trying to plant rice on Fuji's probably still snowy peak, yet the hokku seems to be more than simply pictorial. Perhaps Issa is suggesting that anyone who throws growing seedlings in the direction of Fuji can't help but feel some sort of yearning to be able to reach out and vicariously touch the godly mountain or somehow connect with its power. On this morning the whole village is on the verge of a great rush of energetic communal motion, and the earth and its fields will soon be transformed. In this liminal period many extraordinary things apparently seem almost possible, at least to Issa. Perhaps his visionary image of rice shoots momentarily flying without limit through the air also captures something of the unconscious desire of those who throw them.<br /><br />Though some may disagree, I don't see any personification of Mt. Fuji in this hokku. The word "head" in Japanese is a standard expression for 'peak, summit, tip, top' in much the way that English speaks of the head of a slope, a staircase, a page, a doorway, a mast, etc., or even a simple newspaper headline. Likewise I don't think speaking of the flank or foot of a mountain by itself implies significant personification. The debate about whether dead metaphors are really dead or not is an ongoing and subtle one, but common sense also seems important.<br /><br />The following link is to a photo of preparations for ritual rice-planting at a Shinto shrine that continues traditional shamanic customs to a certain extent. Two "deliverymen" are shown, one carrying bundles of young rice plants and the other throwing them into the wet rice field, where they will be planted. A group of three(?) thrown bundles is visible flying through the air at the left of the frame. The bundles seem to be moving horizontally, since the ritual field is small and they aren't being thrown very far.<br /> <br />http://blog-imgs-54.fc2.com/p/i/n/pinbokejun/M04_7890dvWeb.jpg<br /><br />Chris Drake<br />Gabi Grevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362456518166174106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149720513950832230.post-76451971238923539252014-08-18T19:16:37.468-07:002014-08-18T19:16:37.468-07:00

brushed on a picture of Mount Fuji...Kobayashi Issa<br /><br />brushed on a picture of Mount Fuji --<br /><br />hatsu-haru ya chiyo no tameshi ni tachitamau<br /><br />spring comes --<br />Fuji shows us how<br />to last a thousand years<br /><br />This hokku is from Issa's posthumously discovered writings, so it was probably written during the last years of his life. It seems to be a New Year's hokku, so, along with the haiga ink painting of Mount Fuji, it may have been composed by Issa as a prayer for his own future or possibly as a greeting or a prayer for a respected person at that auspicious time. The hokku relies on an implicit comparison that had been used since the early days of courtly waka: an object such as a pine tree or a crane that, according to legend, lives a thousand years or a natural object that lasts a thousand years (usually a figure for countless years) is praised -- as evidence that someone (often the emperor or an imperial family member) will also surely live at least that long or even considerably longer. Mount Fuji, regarded as the body of a god, was one such natural object, and it was often written with characters ( 不死 ) that mean eternity or immortality. It was especially auspicious, moreover, as a spiritual presence at New Year's. Later Fuji and other mythical images of longevity also came to be used in haikai by commoners.<br /><br />In this hokku Issa implicitly evokes the traditional mythical fusing of Fuji's divine time with limited human time. The beginning of the lunar new year or "spring" gives renewed evidence that Fuji has lasted well over a thousand years, and Fuji's example of enduring existence is something that gives humans, too, confidence to pray for long life, though clearly Issa isn't taking a thousand years literally. At this special time of the year ordinary realism is put aside, and Issa seems to enjoy comparing himself or even humorously overlapping himself just a bit with his life mentor, Mount Fuji.<br /><br />Mount Fuji is not referred to directly in the hokku, since Issa's reference is obvious from the headnote and from the language of the hokku, but in English the reference seems weaker, so I mention Fuji explicitly in the translation.<br /><br />Chris Drake<br />.Gabi Greve - Issahttp://edoflourishing.blogspot.jp/2013/02/kobayashi-issa.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149720513950832230.post-45264553093062237722013-11-22T17:09:48.149-08:002013-11-22T17:09:48.149-08:00Fuji san made from cut glass

by John Dougill
Symmetri...Fuji - Religious object<br />by John Dougill<br /><br />Symmetrical and snow-capped, Mt Fuji is an iconic symbol of Japan. Since ancient times it’s been held in awe, and many Japanese harbour the desire to climb it at least once. It was previously nominated as a Natural Heritage site, but environmental problems necessitated rethinking the application as a Cultural Heritage site based on its religious and artistic significance.<br /><br />Fuji’s religious role stems from the country’s animist tradition of mountain worship, prompted not only by its dominating presence but by its volcanic activity. Since 781 there have been 17 recorded eruptions (the last being in 1707), and to appease the mountain deity Sengen shrines were built around the base.<br /><br />Of the eight shrines in the World Heritage registration, Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha is the most important. Established at its present location in 806, it boasts an unusual two-storey sanctuary as well as ponds fed by underground water from Mt Fuji. It stands at the head of some 1300 Sengen shrines nationwide.<br /><br />MORE<br /><br />http://www.greenshinto.com/wp/2013/07/18/fuji-2-religious-object/Gabi Grevehttp://www.greenshinto.com/wp/2013/07/18/fuji-2-religious-object/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149720513950832230.post-36829037773467903092013-05-22T19:05:50.098-07:002013-05-22T19:05:50.098-07:00夏草や官幣大社富士浅間

Managing Mount Fuji’s fame
Chances...Japan Times -<br /><br />Managing Mount Fuji’s fame<br /><br />Chances have increased that Mount Fuji will become a World Heritage site in June following an April 30 recommendation by a UNESCO panel. The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) noted that the volcano is a national symbol of Japan and blends religious and artistic traditions.<br /><br />Mount Fuji is regarded as a symbol of nature worship in Japan and has long served as a source of artistic inspiration, including in ukiyo-e woodblock prints by such artists as Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige.<br /><br />It is expected that once the 3,776-meter high volcano becomes a World Heritage site, the number visitors will rapidly increase. About 300,000 people climb Mount Fuji every summer, and several million people visit its fifth station every year by bus or car.<br /><br />ICOMOS expressed its concern about the effects of tourism and development projects on Mount Fuji and called for details to be worked out by 2016 on how to deal with a larger number of visitors, and how to keep its trails in good condition.<br /><br />The Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectural governments are considering imposing fees on visitors to Mount Fuji from the summer of 2014. They must decide how much to charge and how to collect the fees. Some people may oppose such a plan, but it would help control the number of visitors and generate funds that can be used to protect Mount Fuji’s environment.<br /><br />MORE<br />http://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2013/05/22/editorials/managing-mount-fujis-fame/#.UZwaYNiGe40<br />.Newshttp://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2013/05/22/editorials/managing-mount-fujis-fame/#.UZwaYNiGe40noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149720513950832230.post-17407243005919542112013-05-11T18:37:53.185-07:002013-05-11T18:37:53.185-07:00quoting the Japan Times
