The Sculptures of Fujimi Itsukushima Shrine
Takeshi Ihachiro Nobuyoshi (Ihachi I) (1751-1824), born in present-day Kamogawa City, was a master Edo-period sculptor who was said to be “the best in the world at carving waves”. Commonly referred to as “Nami no Ihachi (Ihachi of the Waves)”, he excelled at carving dynamic waves and dragons. Ihachi’s works, which can still be seen throughout Chiba Prefecture, convey a sense of lively movement and power.
Here at Itsukushima Shrine has three sculptures created by Ihachi. The center of the three, “Hinode ni Tsuru (Crane at Sunrise)”, is estimated to have been made between 1795 and 1800, based on the inscription on the reverse side and the style of the work. To its left and right, “Matsu ni Sanjaku (Magpies on Pine Trees)” are displayed.
Kisarazu was rather economically prosperous around the year 1800 due to the commercial development that resulted from its maritime transport with Edo (present-day Tokyo). It is seemed that the region’s economic strength led to a growing trend of decorating temples and shrines with sculptures, and that “Nami no Ihachi” was ordered to create them.
