 photo kataduke1_zps136319b8.jpg

This nice paper toy, a Classic Haunting from Japan, was created by designer Vayashi. From what I can ascertain, Kaktsu is a kind of servant ghost of the generals killed in combat, which cleans the battlefields. A nice complement to the Hauntings From Japan Paper Toy Series - by Bocci.

Este paper toy bem legal, de uma Assombração Clássica do Japão, foi criado pelo designer Vayashi. Pelo que eu pude apurar, o Kaktsu é uma espécie de servo fantasma dos generais mortos em combate, que limpa os campos de batalha. Um ótimo complemento para a Série de Assombrações Do Japão - by Bocci.

Setsubun Japanese Demon Mask Paper Model - by Rinkintan


 photo japandemonmask001_zps669af714.jpg


 photo japandemonmask004_zpsf254fed0.jpgBy Japanese designer Rinkintan, this is The Demon Mask, used at Setsubun Japanese Festival to scare away bad spirits. Setsubun is the day before the beginning of Spring in Japan. The name literally means "seasonal division", but usually the term refers to the Spring Setsubun, properly called Risshun celebrated yearly on February 3 as part of the Spring Festival. In its association with the Lunar New Year, Spring Setsubun can be and was previously thought of as a sort of New Year's Eve, and so was accompanied by a special ritual to cleanse away all the evil of the former year and drive away disease-bringing evil spirits for the year to come. This special ritual is called mamemaki (literally "bean scattering"). Setsubun has its origins in tsuina, a Chinese custom introduced to Japan in the eighth century. - Wikipedia

 photo japandemonmask003_zps88479a7d.jpgDa designer japonesa Rinkintan, esta é a Máscara do Demônio, usada no Festival Setsubun para afastar maus espíritos. Setsubun, ou Festival Japonês da Primavera, é celebrado na véspera do início da primavera no Japão. O nome significa literalmente "divisão das estações", mas o termo normalmente se refere ao Setsubun da primavera, apropriadamente chamado de Risshun (o início da primavera), comemorado anualmente no dia 4 de fevereiro. Faz parte do Festival da Primavera . Setsubun da primavera foi e talvez ainda seja considerado por alguns o Ano Novo Lunar no calendário, ou seja, uma espécie de véspera de Ano Novo. Essa data era acompanhada por um extenso ritual especial de purificação do mal do ano anterior e o afastamento de demônios que possam trazer doenças no ano seguinte. Este ritual especial é chamado mamemaki. Setsubun é originado do tsuina, um costume introduzido pelos chineses no oitavo século. - Wikipedia

Ancient Representation of Kasa-Obake
By Japanese designer Bocci, here is Kasa-Obake , the Umbrella Ghost, a Hauntings From Japan Series paper toy. I am glad Mr. Bocci continue with this series because this is a very interesting theme. Kasa-obake are a mythical ghosts or yōkais in Japanese folklore. They are sometimes considered a tsukumogami that old umbrellas turn into. They are also called "karakasa-obake", "kasa-bake" and "karakasa kozō". They are generally umbrellas with one eye and jump around with one leg, but sometimes they have two arms or two eyes among other features, and they also sometimes depicted to have a long tongue. Sometimes, but rarely, they even have two feet, as depicted in the yokai emaki such the "Hyakki Yagyo Zumaki". - Wikipedia


Do designer japonês Bocci, aqui está HKasa-Obake, o Guarda-Chuva Assombrado, um paper toy da Série de Assombrações do Japão. Fico contente que o Sr. Bocci continue com essa série porquê é um tema bem interessante. Karakasa-obake ou Kasa-obake é um youkai japonês, um tsukumogami, ou seja, um espírito que origina-se de objetos com mais de 100 anos, dando-lhes vida. Os karakasa em particular são espíritos de guarda-chuvas que atingem os 100 anos. São geralmente representados com um olho, uma língua longa saindo de sua boca e apenas uma perna que calça uma geta, espécie de calçado japonês. Algumas vezes tem dois braços e dois olhos e raramente se apresentam com dois pés. - Wikipedia

Little Shigaraki Tanuki Paper Toy - by Kleber Moraes

 Shigaraki Tanuki Statues
This beautiful paper toy representing a Tanuki was created by Brazilian designer Kleber Moraes. Tanuki statues produced according to the "Shigaraki ware" pottery style of Shigaraki City, Shiga Prefecture, are one of Japan's most well-known lucky charms. Believed to be bringers of commercial prosperity, they are often placed outside the entrance to shops. The standard tanuki has a good- natured face and a chubby, round body. He wears a braided hat and stands with his head slightly tilted, holding a traditional Japanese tokkuri (sake flask) and a promissory note (an unpaid bill) in his hands. Shigaraki ware tanuki are said to be the bearers of eight different positive traits. The tanuki's hat symbolizes protection from the elements, caution and awareness; the eyes represent looking at things with adequate attention and care; the face features a friendly, sincere smile; the belly symbolizes bold decisiveness; the tokkuri represents personal grace; the promissory note, trust; the money bag, economic fortune; and the tail suggests that true fortune comes from standing firmly and proudly. Also, the staff that a tanuki holds symbolizes the ability to keep from falling. - Canon

The Real Tanuki
Este belo paper toy representado um Tanuki foi crado pelo designer brasileiro Kleber Moraes. As estátuas Tanuki são produzidos de acordo com o "Shigaraki ware", um estilo de cerâmica da Cidade de Shigaraki, província de Shiga, são um dos mais conhecidos amuletos da sorte do Japão. Acredita-se que eles possam trazer prosperidade financeira, por isso eles são muitas vezes colocados na entrada de lojas. O tanuki padrão tem uma cara bem-humorada e um corpo gordinho. Ele usa um chapéu de bambú trançado e está com a cabeça ligeiramente inclinada, segurando uma garrafa de tokkuri (um tradicional saquê) e uma nota promissória em suas mãos. Os Tanukis são considerados portadores de oito diferentes traços positivos: o chapéu simboliza a proteção dos elementos, cautela e consciência. Os olhos representam atenção às coisas e cuidado. O rosto apresenta um sorriso amigável, sincero. A barriga simboliza determinação. A grrafa de tokkuri representa graça pessoal. A nota promissória é confiança e o saco de dinheiro representa prosperidade econômica. A cauda sugere que verdadeira prosperidade tem que ser firme. Além disso, no Japão, um tanuki simboliza a habilidade de não cair, de se manter em pé, apesar das adversidades. - Canon
