Tango no Sekku - Boys` Day Decorative Diorama Pop-Up Paper Model by Minya & Aya Honda

On May 5, Japanese people celebrate the health and happiness for boys. It’s known as “Tango no Sekku” or “Kodomo no Hi”(Children’s Day). It’s now a part of Golden Week of Japan. 

Different from Hinamatsuri (Girls` Day) when dolls called “Hinaningyo” are decorated at home, on this day the families with boys decorate the houses with the armor, helmet, sword or warrior doll called “Gogatsu Ningyo”(May dolls) at house with boys. 

This easy-to-build pop-up paper model created by Japanese designers Minya and Aya Honda occupies six printed sheets and reproduces this cute Japanese decor.

Em 5 de maio, os japoneses celebram a saúde e a felicidade dos meninos. É conhecido como “Tango no Sekku” ou “Kodomo no Hi” (Dia das Crianças). Agora faz parte da Golden Week do Japão. 

Diferente do Hinamatsuri (dia da Meninas)quando bonecos chamados “Hinaningyo” são decorados em casa, neste dia as famílias com meninos decoram as casas com a armadura, capacete, espada ou boneco guerreiro chamado “Gogatsu Ningyo” (bonecos de maio) na casa dos meninos. 

Este modelo de papel em estilo pop-up bem fácil de montar criado pelos designers japoneses Minya e Aya Honda ocupa seis folhas impressas e reproduz esse simpática decoração japonesa.

Takarabune - Japanese Treasure Ship Paper Model - by Niku Mansei

Takarabune, meaning "treasure ship", is the word for a sailboat which was used to transport coral, gold and silver, gemstones, bales of rice, and other precious commodities. In Japan, Takarabune are considered symbols of celebration, and ornamental models depicting the Seven Lucky Gods riding in a Takarabune are often kept as lucky charms. The Seven Lucky Gods consist of Ebisu, god of commercial prosperity; Daikokuten, god of harvest; Benzaiten, goddess of knowledge, art and beauty; Bishamonten, god of contest; Hoteison, god of fortune, relationships, and children; Fukurokuju, god of prosperity and longevity; and Juroujin, god of longevity and happiness. These deities have long been considered gods of fortune and bringers of happiness.

Takarabune, que significa "navio do tesouro", é um veleiro fantasma usado para transportar ouro, coral, prata, pedras preciosas, fardos de arroz e outras mercadorias preciosas.
No Japão, os Takarabunes são considerados símbolos de celebração, e os modelos ornamentais são representados com os Sete Deuses da Sorte .
Os Sete Deuses da Sorte são Ebisu, deus da prosperidade comercial; Daikokuten, deus da colheita; Benzaiten, deusa da arte, conhecimento e beleza; Bishamonten, deus do concurso; Hoteison, deus da fortuna, relacionamentos e filhos; Fukurokuju, deus da prosperidade e longevidade; e Juroujin, deus da longevidade e felicidade.
Essas divindades são consideradas deuses da fortuna e portadores de felicidade.

The Pergamon Museum in Berlin Miniature Paper Model - by 2nd Page

The Pergamon Museum is situated on the Museum Island in Berlin. The site was designed by Alfred Messel and Ludwig Hoffmann and was constructed in twenty years, from 1910 to 1930. 

The Pergamon houses original-sized, reconstructed monumental buildings such as the Pergamon Altar, the Market Gate of Miletus, all consisting of parts transported from Turkey. 

There is controversy over the legitimacy of the acquisition of the collection. It was suggested that the collection should be returned to Turkey (original country of the excavations). The museum is subdivided into the antiquity collection, the Middle East museum, and the museum of Islamic art. 

The museum is visited by approximately 1,135,000 people every year, making it the most visited art museum in Germany. - Wikipedia

O Museu do Pérgamo é um dos museus da Ilha dos Museus, em Berlim. O seu projeto foi desenhado por Alfred Messel e Ludwig Hoffmen, que se inspiraram no Altar de Pérgamo para o planejar. A sua construção demorou cerca de vinte anos, tendo tido ínício em 1910 e sendo finalizado em 1930. 

Hoje em dia, este magnífico museu está organizado em 3 partes: a colecção de arte da antiguidade clássica, onde se destacam o fabuloso Altar de Pérgamo e as Portas do Mercado de Mileto bem como excelentes exemplares de escultura grega e romana ; o Museu do Antigo Oriente , que, para além do grandioso Portal de Ishtar, contém uma vasta coleção de arte islâmica, com diversos objectos provenientes da Antiga Babilónia e da Antiga Suméria e o Museu de Arte Islâmica, com destaque para a Fachada de Mshatta, um palácio do século VIII descoberto na atual Jordânia, bem como excelentes exemplares de artes decorativas islâmicas. 

O museu é visitado, aproximadamente, por 850 mil pessoas, todos os anos. - Wikipedia

Vintage Japanese Tatebanko - by John Wagenseil - via Paper Modelers

John Wagenseil, from Paper Modelers Forum, found this very rare, nice and ancient model of a vintage Tatebanko, that shows what appears to be the struggle of people of one village against evil spirits. 

To further improve, Pat Craft, a great French designer, posted a picture of the finished model, which he built himself. 

I would like to thank John Wagenseil and Pat Craft for making this post possible. - Mauther 

This post was originally posted here on the blog in 2012, nearly ten years ago. By the way, only today did I realize that the blog turned ten years ago a few days ago. The very first post was published on June 23, 2011.

John Wagenseil, do Forum Paper Modelers, garimpou este raro, belo e muito antigo Tatebanko japonês, que parece representar a luta do povo de um vilarejo contra espíritos malígnos, um tema recorrente na arte e tradição do Japão. 

Para enriquecer ainda mais este post, Pat Craft, um grande designer francês, postou no link original, uma foto do modelo terminado, que ele mesmo montou. 

Gostaria de agradecer a John Wagenseil e Pat Craft por tornar este post possível. - Mauther
