Object description

Parerplåt (tsuba) med motiv av åskguden Raijin som springer på moln med ett hjul av trummor. Sannolikt 1600-tal. Järn med inläggning av sentoku, silver och guld. H 7,5 cm, B 7 cm. K-15286.

Raijin kallas även Raiden eller Kaminari-sama och avbildas ungefär som en demon, han brukar slå på sin åsktrumma eller slunga den runt så det blixtrar och dundrar. Han umgås ofta med vindguden Fujin. Ibland sägs Raijin äta navlar, särskilt barns. Därför finns seden att barn uppmanas att ligga på mage då det åskar, så att inte Raijin ska ta deras navel.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
