Tokkuri - Drinking Hot Sake with Daruma

quote
Generic term for ceramic flasks used to warm and serve sake, usually with a narrow neck for retaining heat. Tokkuri come in all shapes and sizes. Usually holds about 360 ml. of sake. The most popular styles are Bizen, Iga, Shigaraki, Imari, and Mino. Click here to learn about each of these styles in our Pottery Guidebook. Choshi is another term for tokkuri, but most often choshi are made of metal and have a handle.

You can find all the necessaray information about Tokkuri and their various forms on this extensive HP of Robert Yellin.
The most common form is probably
the form of a scallion (rakkyoo 辣韮) ,
the head of a crane (tsurukubi 鶴首) or
in form of a turnip (kabura 蕪).

This TOKKURI is a traditional Japanese item not only in the YAHO area but everywhere in Japan during the early Showa period. A KAYOI-TOKKURI was used to buy SAKE at a store and carry it home in the bottle. Usually it belonged to the store and had the name of the store in big Chinese letters written on it. The neck part was formed to hold back a string for carrying the bottle and nowadays it is closed with a cork.
This kind of tokkuri was also used for buying soy sauce.

When sake is served hot, it is put in a small pottery bottle called tokkuri. The tokkuri is placed in a hot bowl of water until the sake reaches the correct temperature (about 50 degrees C), although many Japanese use microwaves today.

Tr. Barnhill


quote
Finishing our drink —
lets arrange these flowers in
this sake bottle—flower vase

Here Basho recollects a line of poetry from Tu Fu.
This sake bottle now changed into a flower vase. For a while Li Po and Tu Fu shared a brief friendship, exchanging poems with each other. Li Po is thought of as being earthy, while Tu Fu as that of the moon. Li Po is at his best when drunk and happy, like a lark singing at heaven’s gate. Tu Fu wrote his best poems when angry, like a nightingale singing with his throat against a thorn.
Nearly a thousand years passed and Basho helped perpetuate their poems in his own writing .

Pottery Lamp (katoo, gatoo 瓦燈)

These kinds of ceramic lamps come in many shapes, usually with the top part smaller than the bottom. They are often used outside, lately with quite a revival to be used as lanterns at local night festivals.

The spelling with Chinese characters is manifold too. Here are some readings, including English versions like katou, gatou, gwatoo ...

KA 火 means FIRE.
KA 瓦 means ROOFTILE, see below.


火灯, 火燈, 瓦灯, 瓦燈, 花頭, 華頭, 架灯...



Here is one sample in the form of a little Daruma, from the region of
Aizu Wakamatsu.

火灯窓 Katomado .. Windows

Specially shaped windows with many s-shaped curves in a Zen temple are sometimes called "fire lamp window" katoo mado 火灯窓, katoo guchi 火灯口, katoo mado 火燈窓, katoobitai 火灯額(かとうびたい)... These windows are in rememberance of the old Chinese zen temple windows.



This name leads us way back to the history of Japanese poetry, when Murasaki Shikibu wrote her famous "Tales of Genji" in the temple Ishiyamadera and had a window of this type in her room.



Temple Ishiyamadera and Haiku



This window style developed with time, here is a form called "bracken windows" (warabi katou, warabi katoo 蕨火灯) .

This type of window was later also used for tea rooms and shape for the exit of a tea room.

- quote -
Shōchū (焼酎) is a Japanese distilled beverage.
t is typically distilled from barley (mugi), sweet potatoes (imo), buckwheat (soba), or rice (kome), though it is sometimes produced from other ingredients such as brown sugar, chestnut, sesame seeds, or even carrots. Typically shōchū contains approximately 25% alcohol by volume, which is weaker than whisky or standard-strength vodka but stronger than wine and sake. It is not uncommon for multiple-distilled shōchū, which is more likely to be used in mixed drinks, to contain up to 35% alcohol by volume.

Shōchū originated in Kyūshū but is produced in locations throughout Japan.

Linguistically, the word shōchū is the Japanese rendition of the Chinese 燒酒 (pinyin: shāojiǔ), which means "burned liquor". However, today the word is written 焼酎 in Japanese.

- Drinking
Shōchū should not be confused with sake, a brewed rice wine. Its taste is usually far less fruity and depends strongly on the nature of the starch used in the distilling process. Its flavor is often described as "nutty" or "earthy".

Shōchū is drunk in many ways according to season or personal taste:

- neat, i.e., on its own with nothing added.
- on the rocks, i.e., mixed with ice
- diluted with room temperature or hot water ('mizuwari' or 'oyuwari', respectively)
mixed with oolong tea or fruit juice
- as chūhai, a mixed drink consisting of shōchū, soda, ice and some flavoring, often lemon, grapefruit, apple or ume
- mixed with a low-alcohol beer-flavored beverage known as hoppy

Shōchū is widely available in supermarkets, liquor stores and convenience stores in Japan while canned chuhai drinks are sold in some of Japan's ubiquitous vending machines. However, it is more difficult to find shōchū outside of Japan except in urban areas with large enough Japanese populations. Interest in shōchū has begun to grow in North America, particularly in cosmopolitan cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver, Toronto, and New York. Dedicated shōchū bars have begun to appear in New York and more than 100 brands are now available in the U.S. market.

In Kyūshū, the center of production, shōchū is far more common than sake. Indeed here sake generally means shōchū, and is normally consumed mixed with hot water. First hot water is poured into the glass, then shōchū is gently added. The liquids mix naturally and stirring is unnecessary. Typically, the amount of shōchū exceeds the amount of hot water, and is enjoyed for its aroma. Occasionally, shōchū and water are mixed, left to stand for a day, and then gently heated.

kawara　瓦 roofing tiles / Lit. tile.
The roofing material made of fired clay introduced to Japan from Korea (Paekche Kingdom, Jp: Kudara 百済) during the 6c along with Buddhism. During the 570s at the time of the reign of Emperor Bidatsu 敏達 (reign, 572-85), the king of Paekche sent six people to Japan skilled in various aspects of Buddhism, including a temple architect. According to the NIHONSHOKI 日本書紀 (Chronicles of Japan) a temple was founded by Prince Ohowake of Naniwa. In 588 more tilemakers and architects were among the specialists sent to Japan. In that year the temple of Houkouji 法興寺 (Asukadera 飛鳥寺), Nara, was begun.

Many of the oldest roof tiles in Japan have been excavated from this site. Tiled roofs were used for temple and government buildings but for the emperors' palaces and dwellings of the nobility, traditional materials such as miscanthus reeds *kayabuki 茅葺 were preferred. In regard to the content of the clay, an interesting statement is found in the ENGISHIKI 延喜式 Takumiryou 木工寮 Sakuga (Tile Making and Woodworking Styles in the Engi period; a 10c Japanese document) which states that after the middle of the 8c, it was common practice to mix 24 kilograms of clay with 10 litres of sand. This mixture, it goes on to say, is easier to shape and allows less shrinkage when fired than the higher quality clay used previously.

There are two known techniques for manufacturing clay roof tiles. One is the Cylindrical Mold Method, which until recently was used in Okinawa and Korea. The other one is the Curved Mold Method has been used in Japan (except Okinawa) since the middle of the 7c. With the former method, well kneaded clay is firmly packed into a trapezoidal pile. Sticks are set on each side at a fixed distance from the top, and with a tool like a large cheese cutter, a slice is removed from the surface. This is repeated again and again depending upon the desired number of tiles. A wooden cylinder is placed on a turning plate, a tool like a slow potter's wheel, and the cylinder is then covered with cloth made of banana fiber (in Okinawa) or hemp or ramie (in Korea). At the top and bottom of the cloth is a string used for removing the finished tile from the form and then for removing the cloth from the clay. As can be seen the slice of clay has been pressed around the cylinder and smoothed and shaped as the plate revolved.

When the tile is finished and removed from the cylinder, it is allowed to dry for a day or two. Especially notice are two sticks protruding from the top of the wooden cylinder. These may number two or four depending upon how many pieces the tile will be divided into. Where the stick is inserted, the clay is thin, and after it has dried out it can be tapped lightly to sever it into the required number of pieces. If the cylinder is divided into two, it will form round roof tiles; if it is separated into four parts, these will become flat roof tiles. It shows clay on cylinders. Notice that one clay circular form is inverted and another placed on top to dry.

The second method, the Curved Mold Technique, used in Japan proper, depends upon individual molds already in the shape of the desired tile. It shows a mold for a circular tile. Most roof tiles were fired once and used immediately afterward. However, some glazed tiles have been found at palace sites, for example, at the 8c Japanese capital of Heijoukyou 平城京 in Nara and the 9c to 12c site of Heiankyou 平安京 in Kyoto. Not enough glazed tile has been recovered to be convinced that entire roofs were made of this. Mainly ornamental plates have been recovered, which would seem to indicate that perhaps the glazed tiles were placed only at the edges. Some of the earliest tiles studied seem to show traces of red ochre, black and some white, which appears to be some sort of lime or chalk, rather than paint.

- quote -
yane　屋根 - Also called okugai 屋蓋, lit. roof covering.
A generic term for various types of roofs, roof styles, and roofing. See *yane kouzou 屋根構造 for roof structure.
The major types of roofs are gable *kirizuma-zukuri 切妻造, hipped yosemune-zukuri 寄棟造, hip-and-gable *irimoya-zukuri 入母屋造, and pyramidal roofs *hougyou-zukuri 宝形造, including hatchuu 八注, a roof over an 8-sided building *hakkakudou 八角堂, and rokuchuu 六注, a roof over a six-sided structure *rokkaku endou 六角円堂.

The contours of the roofs vary and are not governed by the type of roof. There are four basic contours:
1 *chokusen yane 直線屋根 a roof with simple straight planes as at Sumiyoshi Taisha 住吉大社 (1596-1615) in Osaka;
2 teriyane 照り屋根, also called soriyane 反屋根, a roof that descends from the ridge to the eave ends with either gentle or strong. Kairyuuouji Saikondou 海竜王寺西金堂 in Nara, Ankokuji Kyouzou 安国寺経蔵 in Gifu prefecture.
3 the formes shows gentle curving and the lather strong upward curves *mukuriyane 起り屋根, a roof that has a convex curve that slopes upward from eave ends *nokisaki 軒先, to the ridge *munagi 棟木, the uppermost roof of the pavilion called Hiunkaku 飛雲閣 at Nishihonganji 西本願寺 (late 16c) in Kyoto;
4 terimukuri yane 照り起り屋根, a roof with a convex curve in the upper part of the roof, as for example, the roof of the *karahafu 唐破風, gable at the front of the Tsukubusuma Shrine's main sanctuary, Tsukubusuma Jinja Honden 都久夫須麻神社本殿 (1602) in Shiga prefecture. *Shikorobuki 錣葺 is a very rare type of roof type.
Its contours resemble a the hip-and-gable type roof, but the gable and hips are separate, without a continuous flow from the ridge to the eaves. Instead, the part that extends from the ridge to the base of the gable ends and the hips are connected beneath the gable ends and continue to the eave ends. Thus there is a very clear break between the two parts of the roof.
Examples include the Tamamushi miniature shrine *Tamamushi no zushi 玉虫厨子 (mid-7c) owned by Houryuuji 法隆寺, and Toudaiji Nenbutsudou 東大寺念仏堂 (1238), both in Nara.

The Byoudouin *Hououdou 平等院鳳凰堂 Byodo-In (1053) in Kyoto, exemplifies the combination of roof types with a variety of contours. By the 15c and 16c., new combinations of roofs had evolved. Building roofs from this era combined many parts and had many ridges such as *gongen-zukuri 権現造, exemplified by Oosaki Hachiman Shaden 大崎八幡社殿 (1607) in Miyagi prefecture. Roofs of this type use tiles *kawara 瓦, cypress bark *hiwadabuki 桧皮葺, shingles *kokerabuki 柿葺, various types grass, kusabuki 草葺, including cogon grass *kayabuki 茅葺, straw of wheat or rice warabuki 藁葺.
