		The tradition represented in this dance is the Japanese "Pygmalion and Galatea." Hidari Jingoro having employed all the resources of his art to carve the image of a Kyoto beauty to whom he is said to have been attached, succeeds so admirably that, one day, he suddenly finds the figure endowed with life and movement.
		Jingoro would fain alter this and convert the wooden image into Umegaye herself---as well in the mind as in appearance.
		He considers that the object upon which all the feminine instincts of the fair sex are concentrated is a mirror.

		The image here, of a fan with several varieties of maple leaves, provides the title, author, illustrator, and publisher of this work of popular fiction in the guise of a fan poem.
		In Japanese the phrase for "unrivalled" literally means that there is no enemy on the right, which plays against the name of the famous left-handed sculptor Hidari (meaning "left") Jingorô.
		In this triptych, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798-1861) may be presenting himself as Jingorô because the sculptor, shown seated in the center panel, has the artist's identifying seals on his robe and cushion.

		That's a very famous cat amidst the extravagant carvings of the Nikko Tokugawa shrine that holds the ashes of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
		It was made by the artist Jingoro Hidari, to guard the premises from live rats (literally) and to keep the dynasty in power (symbolically).
		The generally penny-pinching clan made this elaborate waste of money for once because it was not their own money; all the clans defeated or defected around the Sekigahara war of 1600 were compelled to finance the construxion project.

	Post Comment
		There is a five story stone Torii (shinto shrine entrance gate) which doesn't have foundations, but contains a long suspended pole that restores equilibrium in the event of an earthquake(!)
		There is also the famous sculpture the 'three moneys' - hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil, the 'sleeping cat', which was reportedly made by Hidari Jingoro, and the 'imaginary elephants', which was made by a sculpture who had never actually seen an elephant!
		To see the three monkeys in 'the flesh' so to speak, was a massive thrill for me. Although for some reason it reminded me of christmas crackers with my family in the dining room at Kingscliff (go figure!!)
