Well known Japanese singer Aoe Mina (青江三奈 )sings a Japanese classic - "Meiji Ichidai Onna", composed in the 10th year of Showa (1935). Born Shizuko Ihara in 1945, Aoe Mina died of cancer in 2000, aged only 56. The title "Meiji Ichidai Onna", could be roughly translated as 'First generation woman of the Meiji era'. [The Meiji era went from 1868 to 1912]. A movie titled "Meiji Ichidai Onna" appeared in 1955, but as there were no English subtitles, it was never shown in Australia, and besides that, it doesn't feature the song heard here ! The picture shows Aoe Mina wearing a kimono (as most Enka singers do). Aoe Mina (or Mina Aoe) was considered one of Japan's greatest Enka singers because of her husky voice. This particular recording was made around 1970 (Victor SJX-36 ), and features a modern orchestra incorporating the two traditional stringed instruments, the KOTO and the SHAMISEN, along with a strong bass backing. The Album was given to me by a sailor on the Suruga Maru (a Japanese cargo vessel ) at the South Australian port of Thevenard, in early 1974. The record was never sold in Australia, and the price in Japan was 1800 Yen. The last two words of the song - "kage-boshi" means shadow, or shadows. (There is no differentiation between singular and plural in Japanese ).

It's a japanese commercial

Description Beautiful antique ivory Japanese netsuke. This netsuke is made of antique elephant ivory (zouge in Japanese) with beautiful striation and ring patterns. Expertly carved and with an impressive luster and sheen, this high quality ivory does have some scratches and scuff marks as evidence of past use and the entire piece wears a darkened patina of age. In the Japanese mind these marks are thought to contribute to the appeal of a netsuke and give the object its sense of character and past utility. The Japanese use the word aji to specifically refer to this quality, which is thought to complete the netsuke as an art object intended for functional, daily use. This netsuke was acquired in the historic city of Shizuoka, Japan (retirement home of the Tokugawa Shoguns) and dates from the late Japanese Edo period (1600-1868) or early Meiji period (1868-1912). The netsuke comes from the estate of family who were of the samurai class during the Japanese feudal period. Please read below to learn more about Japanese netsuke. And please read our supplemental note about U.S. and international restrictions on the trade of ivory and ivory products.

Please contact us with any questions and thank you for viewing our listings. More about Netsuke Where can you place things when wearing a garment that has no pockets? For all its beauty, comfort and style the Japanese kimono has never included a convenient place to store personal items. In the past some Japanese would keep the things they needed in the kimono's vast sleeves or tucked into the folds of their garment. Over time however, in became fashionable and convenient to secure personal items such as money pouches and tobacco kits to the belt-like obi. These items and others were kept in place by tying them with a length of cord to a small polished gourd (hyotan) which could then be passed under the obi and in this way used to keep the attached item dangling conveniently at waist level. Such items became known as sagemono in Japanese which literally translates as "hanging things". By the 17th century the gourd had given way to smaller, specially crafted items called netsuke which originally looked like buttons but which over time were adapted to fit a wide range of artistic and personal tastes. Netsuke did often resemble people or animals as well as objects from everyday life or nature. As an art form the netsuke is largely without a detailed history and pedigree. Though many netsuke were signed, we today know relatively little about the artists or the various schools of influence. This fact means that most netsuke must be appreciated primarily for their intrinsic appeal, as well as for an important feature which the Japanese call aji. Aji may be defined as the effect upon a netsuke produced by it's being used for its intended purpose, namely as a decorated object of daily use. Scuff marks, small scratches and the patina of age together contribute to an netsuke's aji, and provide the finishing touch on one of humanity's most unique, practical and beautiful forms of art and expression.

However, ivory that can be verified as being more than 100 years old and thus categorized as "antique" may be brought into the country. All ivory items listed within our eBay store are purchased from established antique dealers in Japan who verbally certify for us the age and authenticity of each piece.

Description This rare and interesting item is a Meiji period (1868-1912) Japanese military helmet, possibly worn by soldiers in the service of the emperor's new Imperial army. The conical shape of this helmet is reminiscent of the straw hats once worn by farmers which are effective in protecting the wearer's head from the effects of outdoor exposure. As a military item this helmet is reinforced with layers of hardened materials forming a fairly strong, yet lightweight piece of headgear suitable for use by foot soldiers (heishi) tasked with walking long distances in the open air. About the Listed Item We are not entirely sure of what the base material is which was used to make this helmet, though by carefully examining damaged sections we are able to make out what appears to be an inside layer of hardened paper, covered by a coated fabric which has been hardened, possibly with an application of varnish. This hardened-fabric layer appears very strong, and the dried fabric has a texture and rigidity not unlike modern fiberglass. The inner surface of the helmet is finished with what appears to be a fairly thin layer (only a few coats) of red lacquer while the outer surface is finished with many layers of black lacquer which combine to create a very hard, yet strong protective coating. The completed helmet was then decorated in various places with a kamon crest pattern consisting of three leaves arranged before a garland. Such crests are normally associated with the pre-modern period (before 1868) in Japan when families and groups would use specially designed patterns to announce their identity and allegiance. The existence of a crest pattern on this helmet may indicate either that the helmet is older than our estimate, or that the military group who used the helmet were assigned this crest as their group or company insignia. This remains a point of uncertainly for us and lends some mystery to the helmet's past. We do not believe that the helmet was a model or theatre prop due to the fact that great time, effort and expense were taken to construct a sturdy, strong and lightweight piece of headgear using materials appropriate to the time. Theatre props and decorative pieces on the other hand are made mostly for show and often display workmanship where the focus is more on outward appearance than on long-term function and performance. The helmet is today in poor to fair condition with crack and chips as well as damage to the area around the top. The lacquer section at the very topmost point of the helmet is a bit loose and should be handled with care. A large section of lacquer is missing at one side of the top and there is a hole near the pinnacle roughly 1.5 centimeters in diameter. Lacquer chips on the inside of the helmet provide us with a view of the paper lining beneath while chips on the outer surface allow us to see the varnished fabric layer. The helmet likely originally included an attached apparatus for use in securing the helmet to the wearer's head though this strap mechanism is now missing. Helmets such as this can sometimes be seen in use when viewing antique Japanese military photos, though such photos are indeed rare to find. While certainly not the most academic reference source it is still interesting to note that viewers of the movie 'The Last Samurai' (2003 with Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe) may spot within the film foot soldiers of the Imperial army wearing helmets very similar to the listed item.
