清親画伯之碑 Kiyochika

- quote -
Kobayashi Kiyochika
(10 September 1847 – 28 November 1915) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, best known for his ukiyo-e colour woodblock prints and newspaper illustrations. His work documents the rapid modernization and Westernization Japanese underwent during the Meiji period (1868–1912) and employs a sense of light and shade called kōsen-ga inspired by Western art techniques.

His work first found an audience in the 1870s with prints of red-brick buildings and trains that had proliferated after the Meiji Restoration; his prints of the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894–95 were also popular. Woodblock printing fell out of favour during this period, and many collectors consider Kobayashi's work the last significant example of ukiyo-e.

..... Kiyochika's depictions of the Westernization of Meiji Japan has both benefited and hindered later assessment of his work; it disappoints collectors looking for an idealized Japan of old that lures many to ukiyo-e, while it provides a historical record of the radical changes of the time.

manga jizoo マンガ地蔵 Manga Jizo statue

- quote -
Jizo is regarded as the protector of children. However, the Jizo at Kongo-in, a lovely temple located one stop away from Ikebukuro Station in Toshima Ward, is looking out for a different group of people.
Who? When you go to visit, pay close attention to this little guy. His wardrobe gives you important clues. His staff has been replaced with a fountain pen and his robes are decorated with comic book panels complete with speech bubbles and sound effects. Fans of the game Dragon Quest might look at the smiling blob in in his left hand and think of the character Slime, but it’s actually a cheerful version of Jizo’s wish-filling jewel. Lastly, rather than a halo of light, Jizo is ensconced by a pen nib.
... Manga Jizo, offering protection and spiritual guidance for all aspiring artists as well as anyone who works in a creative field.
But why does Kongo-in have a manga Jizo?
Despite Akihabara’s high name recognition as the center of otaku subculture, Toshima Ward is considered the origin of Japanese manga. From the late 1950s to the early 1960s, some of Japan’s most famous manga artists such as Osamu Tezuka, creator of Astro Boy, and Fujiko Fujio, creator of Doraemon, lived in the same apartment building: the Tokiwa-so. While then young and unknown, these artists shaped the way in which manga is produced during the time they lived in Tokiwa-so. Considering that Kongo-in is located near the site of Tokiwa-so, it’s an appropriate spot for the home of the manga Jizo.
The manga Jizo is a nadebutsu,
meaning you are encouraged to touch him for good luck. Give his head a pat to get your creative juices flowing!

In 1987 the land was sold and the temple relocated to Hadano.
