Lucky items from Edo

Zarukaburi (basket-wearing) dog

Lucky items are popular in Japan. People pray forsafe childbirth, family health, and longevity, as wellas business prosperity and success at work. ManyJapanese buy charms and talismans on the year’s
first visits to shrines and temples, to keep close athand or give as gifts to family and friends.
Many of these traditional items were popular withthe masses during the Edo period. For example,
because dogs deliver their young easily, inu harikopapier-mâché dogs were favored as gifts to pray

Akae horned owl figure

for safe childbirth or to celebrate a birth. The samedog wearing a bamboo basket on its head (zarukaburi) was said to ease children's breathing, inthe same way that the basket's weave lets air andwater through. Moreover, the Chinese character for“bamboo” above that for “dog” resembles the character for “smile,” with good fortune and happinesssaid to come to those who smile.
The Akae horned owl was said to drive away smallpox, greatly feared in the Edo period, through its
evil-warding red color and the keen vision of theowl. It has been passed down to this day as a goodluck folk toy to wish for a child's growth.
The maneki-neko cat figure is indispensable forinviting fortune and luck, and is a good-luck item
for business prosperity. With its raised right paw
bringing monetary fortune and its left paw having
a matchmaking ability to bring people together,
the cat is loved by people even today.

of a number of major rooms were entrusted to French interior designer
Henri Rapin. Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum opened in 1983, andits annex was completed in 2014. The museum hosts exhibits and several

The chic patternsof Edolarity.
A characteristic of these patterns is the repetition of
simplified elements that did away with ornamentation, as in modern icons. The familiar “ichimatsu”(checkerboard) pattern and the “mameshibori” (dotted) pattern are both made of repeated elements,emphasizing the fun and beauty of the design.
The people of Edo came to incorporate such simple,
refined, and playful patterns into their daily lives.
For example, they dyed wrapping cloths or hanging “noren” shop curtains with the vocation or guild
name left undyed, or dyed tenugui hand towels and“yukata” robes with what persons sharing the sameinterests called “ren”, like the logos and marks ofmodern clubs and organizations.
Such patterns, including “yagasuri” and “seigaiha”(see P11), were created in great number. They remain familiar to the Japanese even today, even appearing in the clothing design of characters in popular animated works.

The poetic scenery of
the Edo summer

Riverside fireworks displays are events that color
the summer night skies in Tokyo. Among these, theSumida River Fireworks Festival, held every July, isa historical event that has continued for about 300
years since the Edo period. Roofed pleasure boats
floating on the river now add to the gorgeousness,and more than 900,000 people crowd the event.
Tourists from abroad are also increasing year by
year.
Originally held to worship water gods, the event
was enjoyed by the commoners of Edo beginningin 1733 as a festival to mark the start of the boating
season in the Ryogoku area.
For three months from May 28 under the lunar
calendar, vendors put up shops on the berths andby the bridges along the Sumida River. With the
shogunate giving permission for summer pleasureboats to ply the river, crowds of people turned out
to enjoy the cool air.
Fireworks rose into the night sky as people calledout the names of the two major fireworks manufacturers, Tamaya and Kagiya. The bursts did not
