MINGEI - Shingenbukuro leather pouch

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

Shingen-bukuro. Shingenbukuro 信玄袋
Shingen leather drawstring-pouch


The normal Samurai outfit did not have any pockets, so small pouches or bags were used to carry things. Some say that Takeda Shingen was the first to use such a bag, hence the name. The bag is made with two layers of ray-skin (untanned hide) and lined with leather. A drawstring keeps it closed.



The Shingen Bukuro is an essential part of a formal uniform. Since there are no pockets available, where do you carry things like your car keys, wallet, or cell phone. This type of bag was used for the first time by famous Daimyo Takeda Shingen (1521-1573) on the battlefield. Thus the name of this traditional style of bag is "Shingen Bukuro", which can be translated as "Shingen's pouch". This ultimate Shingen Bukuro is made of two tanned rayskins and lined with leather.

a government-designated "Traditional Crafts of Japan"




Only produced in Yamanashi, inden are goods made from deerskin with designs in Japanese lacquer.
Inden has its origin in the leather accessories that were brought from India in the early Edo period. By late Edo, production had begun on coin purses, waist sashes, cigarette holders and so on. Nowadays, modern items such as purses, wallets, card holders, handbags and belts have been added to the variety of goods available. Inden production still uses its traditional methods.

Inden Museum ONLINE



Founded in 1582, INDEN-YA continues to create Inden, a 400-year-old form of traditional leatherwork.
While Inden has been popular among a select few who were interested in traditional Japanese culture, it has garnered very little attention from the general public.

Our mission was to communicate Inden's allure and the historical nature of the brand, and to improve awareness of the INDEN-YA brand through renewal of the brand's site.
Our primary aim was to attract people in their 20s through 40s, who comprise the primary users of the Internet, and the younger generation that prefers minimalistic designs.

(the name "INDEN" comes from "India")



Patterns

TONBO 蜻蛉
Tonbo is the Japanese word for dragonfly. Samurais appreciated how they fly straight and preferred to use this motif for armor and ornaments. 
katsumushi ("winning bugs").

KOZAKURA  小桜
Throughout the ages, the word "hana (flower)" referred to sakura (cherry blossoms). Their ephemeral nature paralleled that of bushido (the way of the samurai) and this motif was frequently used on armor and helmets.

SEIGAIHA  清海波
This refers to the infinite expanse of the vast ocean. It was used as an auspicious motif to invite good fortune.

Techniques
urushi-tsuke 漆付け lacquer application

fusube gihoo ふすべ技法 fusube method
This is much older. Smoke creates the patterns on the skin. Craftsmen tie deerskin around a rotating cylinder, next fix paper patterns on the leather and turn it over a smoky fire. The smoke darkens the exposed leather, thus creating patterns. It also leaves a smoky aroma that lingers even after many years of use.

Azechi Umetaro 畦地梅太郎
(1902 - 1999)

- quote -
Umetaro Azechi a Japanese printmaker and mountain climber. He was known for his prints of mountains and people who live in them.
Azechi was born on December 28, 1902 to a poor farming family in what is now Uwajima, Ehime. He enrolled in an art correspondence course where he would send his work to Tokyo for critique. In 1920 he had the opportunity to move there, but returned home to Shikoku after the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. He moved back to Tokyo in 1925, where he worked for a printing company.
Azechi's prints were noticed by Unichi Hiratsuka, who took him under his wing. He belonged to the Japan Print Association and the Kokugakai Arts Association. After his works were shown in some of their exhibitions, he quit his job and became a freelance artist. During this time, he was heavily influenced by Maegawa Sempan and Kōshirō Onchi.
During World War II, Azechi was sent to Manchuria. When he returned to Japan, he also immediately returned to making art.
Azechi's work was shown at the São Paulo Art Biennial in 1953. It was also shown at the Lugano International Print Biennial in 1956.
Azechi died on April 12, 1999. The Umetaro Azechi memorial museum opened in Uwajima in 2003.
- Style
His early work was reflective of the monochrome sosaku hanga style. He began to develop his own style in the late 1930s. Azechi became known for his paintings of mountains and the people who live there. He became a regular mountain climber, and became well-known for his writing on the topic. His art style was primitive, but intentionally so in the same way as the naive artists. He used the same striped patterns on both people and animals, showing the similarities between the two. Because he did so many landscapes and art depicting the natural world, he used mostly cool colors like blues, greens, and purples.
Museums that hold Azechi's works include the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the British Museum.

山の眼玉
畦地梅太郎の郷里である愛媛の山々や奥秩父、北アルプスなどの山行を綴った47編におよぶ紀行随想集。 文章に合わせて随所に挿絵が入り、絵本の体裁にしてあって、見ているだけでも楽しい。 1957年、朋文堂から『山の眼玉』が初めて刊行され、後に1986年、美術出版社版では『山の目玉』と改題されるが、 「平凡社ライブラリー」版で再度『山の眼玉』にもどされた。 「平凡社ライブラリー」版も口絵にカラー8ページを使い、代表的な畦地ワールドを再現しているが、 今回は「山男シリーズ」など、カラー口絵で16ページ組み、読者にさらに親近感をもたせた内容になっている。
