The long-established store of "Aizu picture candle" which continues from the Edo Period. The artistic building built for Meiji Period catches eye in the downtown area in Aizuwakamatsu-shi "Hideyo Noguchi youth street". The "Aizu picture candle" which were favorite items of society started to enjoy widely as the handicraft which represents Aizu rural areas via long time in the Edo Period. Traditional picture candles are flower patterns, but then "china-painting Experience" can decide a design and the color freely. First I'll make a draft, make the color with a palette and paint on a candle. The world can make only one picture candle in required time 40-60 minutes.

A picture candle with the showy pattern, for a gift.

Perfume also gathers richly including a multicolored picture candle.

An oldest store owner takes charge of painting on Ozawa candle (candle) store at Aizu-wakamatsu as a picture candle craftsman. Because it was born instead of a French flower originally, a chrysanthemum and a peony protect as the traditional pattern and are grafted, and a multicolored flower is drawn according to the season at present. It's also the feature a core of a picture candle is Japanese paper, and wax is a fruit of goby, and that they're made and are gentle with the environment and the form. It's displayed, and, as much as I look, I calm down, so it's also popular as the interior. There is 9 kinds of size and a picture candle recommends the smallest 3 momme (monme and about 15 cm) to a gift.

The pretty papier-mache folkcraft product which represents Aizu

The thing by which "cow" is a cow by a dialect in Tohoku-district
The thing by which "cow" is a cow by a dialect in Tohoku-district

The "paper cow" across which I come here and there in Aizu area. By the folkcraft product with the lovely state by which a neck shakes flickeringly, as a toy, I also settle as a lucky charm. A paper cow is to stick Japanese paper on a homemade wooden form, remove a wooden form and hang a neck from a body by string by made papier-mache, and a neck shakes. That a paper cow is being made with a papier-mache process, in the city, only 2 houses. I'm working at an atelier in the store by the 1 house, so "carpenter" can visit its state. A paper cow is made with drawing by hand, so there is nothing of the same expression as one.

In deep red "BE KO", in his own way, a countenance and the design are drawn.

I don't hesitate and I hope that you move a brush to the fullest.

An expression and the design are drawn in the cow on which red was spread using prepared white, black paint, brush and cloth in china-painting Experience. It's a point to wipe extra water with cloth if a brush is wetted for water. The part I'd like to draw in white first is applied, and when I shift to black, next a brush can be kept beautifully, and it's completed beautifully. Paint is dried in about 10 minutes, so it's possible to draw again. The required time is different depending on people, but 40-50 minutes is an aim. A sample is also prepared, the favorite design, IME-JI, please, I'll challenge originally.

"Aizu ki ascent young monk (spill)" is the folkcraft product transmitted from the old days most in the folkcraft product in Aizu. Because I get up and go up even if I fall down, how many times is it learned about as the patience and a healthy lucky charm? It's starting seigneur Ujisato Gamo in about 400 years before made role-less clansman make, and that it was put on sale at New Year's. The family and goods increase for a local person at New Year's every year even at present in the Aizu area, there is a custom that a wish is included and 1 is displayed in much buying and a household altar more than the number of people of the family. And one year is the existence like the charm which burns ten and does giving which ends.

6 colors of paint is prepared for coloring, so I paint on the young monk with about 7 cm of snow-white height in his own way. If 1 color is applied, when it's being dried, the stack coating is also possible by a hair dryer. When I turn a young monk, not to draw a part of a band by a brush, it can be drawn straight. It was only a red area originally from an implication of an amulet, but there is also a blue area at present, and the "god of the fire" etc. kind by which "god of water" and the whole by which the whole is blue are red is also increasing. There is an orthodox young monk as a sample, but I'll make the design one imagined freely.
