We will look back on the history of the origin and development of dolls and explore what dolls were to the Japanese. As an ideal figure, we will introduce the living national treasure, Komao Hayashi's doll making and the lifestyle that retains the tradition of Kyoto for 12 months. In addition, we will ask the master craftsmen of Kyoto chicks, Fushimi clay dolls, Hakata Gion Yamakasa, Toyama / Johana Hikiyama festival, and other "masterpieces" of dolls, and reaffirm their charm and deep relationship with Japanese people. This is a special feature with a total of 134 pages.

The title of this special feature is "doll". What do you think of when you hear the word doll? Some may be Hina-sama, some may be Bisque dolls, or some may be anime character figures. Whatever the doll, we especially care about the face so as not to hurt it. The "human form" is so precious, isn't it?

In the past, dolls were indispensable for festivals and festivals as they acted as amulets and were used by gods. If that is the "original appearance" of the doll, it's a shame that you don't know it. I wanted to know about it, so I visited Komao Hayashi, a puppet designer living in Kyoto. Mr. Hayashi is a leading doll maker who is a living national treasure in the field of "Kiri plastic dolls". Moreover, those who are familiar with the traditions of Kyoto and the traditions of Miyanaka and are practicing a way of life based on them. This time, we spent a year and a half carefully covering Mr. Hayashi's elaborate technique of making dolls and his elegant 12 months. What I could see from there was the happiness of the doll, the fun and importance of understanding the roots of tradition, and the wisdom of old-fashioned life. I just want to do it. It was an encounter with Mr. Hayashi, who made me want to live with a correct posture, even though I didn't have to stretch my shoulders.

In addition, we will introduce dolls from various places such as the Hikiyama Festival in Johana, Toyama Prefecture, Hakata Gion Yamakasa in Fukuoka, the master craftsmen of Kyoto Hina, and the clay dolls in Fushimi. In addition, No. 22 is full of Japanese beauty, such as the story of a woman who gave her life to the succession and development of Japanese dance, and the "comb festival" that tells the wonderfulness of Japanese hair.

The Japanese look back on what kind of ship and route they have traded, and reaffirm their benefits to this day. Among the traded goods, pay particular attention to "kelp". We will visit the route and history of the spread, and the kelp dishes that have taken root in various places. This is a 116-page special feature that makes you want to thank our ancestors for their wisdom and passion, such as the story of the dashi stock heard at Gotei in Kyoto, the Okinawan specialty dish Kubu Irichi, and the story of fried kelp that has been handed down in Eiheiji.

The title of this special feature is "Trade Goods".

I'm sorry for the title. In short, it is a special feature to know "what kind of trade you have done because you want to get what". In all ages, we went out to find the things we wanted and the people we wanted. Since ancient times in the Jomon period, we have built ships, pioneered shipping lanes, and sometimes moved politics to perform spectacular "bartering." It is human beings' endless desires that move the world, for better or for worse. While following the flow of such things, I think we can see the process of economic development and cultural propagation --- with that in mind, "kelp" was taken as a good example. We visited the port of call of the "Kitamaebune", which is the trading route, and learned how kelp was transported from Hokkaido, where it was produced, to Kyoto, Osaka, and far Okinawa, and how it took root as a food culture. I searched. At Tsuruga's Okui Kaisei-do, which specializes in kelp, we cover the treasured kelp that makes Japanese and French three-star chefs groan. This is a fun feature where you can wake up to the awesomeness of kelp that you usually casually eat and eat it even more deliciously.

Also, from this issue, we have created an English page called "Fudebako Archives", which is a re-edited version of past coverage. The first is "Wajima Nuri". I hope you will make use of it in order to disseminate the splendor of Japanese culture overseas and to let you know as a Japanese.
