Ear Pick, Ear Cleaner 耳掻き mimikaki

Our Daruma san of course likes to have his ears cleaned too. His favorites are the Geisha in the pleasure quarters. And sometimes he visits O-KAME for a good clean.

Daruma has large earrings,
so his ears might hurt, just like the nose ring of a cow.




『柳多留』には
痛かろふ達磨の耳と牛の鼻
itakaroo Daruma no mimi Ushi no hana

という句が見えており、ダルマの耳に金輪を通していることが知られる。
ダルマは手足のない点でこけしに通じているが、赤い衣をつけ、口を真一文字に結んでいる上、目も大きい。笑みはまったくうかがわれない。
