Blessed Sword
During the Jomon period in Japan that began as early as 13,000 BC, the Neolithic hunters and gatherers created clay figures. These wonderful, expressive figures are called Dogu (pronounced dough-goo). Have taken the intriguing shapes – some with heart-shaped or triangular faces pointed heads. Some squats, perhaps in childbirth, others seem some even seem to be praying while wearing sunglasses and clothing spaceperson. Dogu Many recognizable features female breasts and hips, not unlike figures fertility common in other cultures. Size ranges from two inches to nearly two meters for the Dogu larger.
There is much debate about what meaning Dogu the Jomon people and how they were used. It seems that these figures have been deliberately broken by the people and then somehow used in rituals or, as devices healing. One theory is that the Dogu acted as effigies of people and manifests a kind of sympathetic magic. For example, might have been believed that diseases could be transferred in Dogu, then destroyed, clearing the illness or other misfortune. In any case, the ritual destruction of Dogu has made them very rare.
These figures have been discovered in all parts of Japan, with the north of Japan getting the most variety. Dogu some are known as the "type glasses. Their eyes look like snow goggles worn by Inuit people to protect the eyes against the sun's reflection on the snow. Many of these goggle-wearing Dogu also seems to be as outer space-suit complete with riveted, helmet and mask, thus fueling the arguments that the Dogu are actually representations of ancient aliens.
Some refer to the figures given by the myth of Indonesian origin Hainuwele. The people of Ceram Wemale tell a story in which the first animals and plants are the result of the sacrifice of Hainuwele. A man named Ameta cuts his finger while collecting sap from a coconut tree and just found a girl, which he called Hainuwele or branch of a coconut, "indicates a mixture of blood and lymph. Hainuwele grows in a few days and joins the dance ritual that is performed by the first nine clan rights. In this ritual, the men dance in a circle around the women who give them to chew betel how to dance. But Hainuwele blessed from birth with the ability to eject objects of questionable value, gave these treasures – coral jewelry, gongs, etc. – for people who danced around her. He was so generous that raised the suspicions of his peers, soon dug a deep hole and pushed her inside, burying her alive. This was the first example of human death. The next day, Ameta suspect what has happened to Hainuwele and digs his daughter, dismembered her (ah, here is the link with the route Dogu!) And plants the pieces in the ground. The story goes that these plants were the staple tuberous vegetable that has sustained the people Wemale. When the goddess Mulia Satine learned the murder of Hainuwele (which actually was an aspect of itself) has affected many of the people with the girl's arm dead – these people then became the first animals. (He takes me Dogu to think if they were perhaps part voodoo doll.)
In modern times, Dogu serve as artistic inspiration, and in recent decades have been recommended comic manga where they appear as aliens, and the PlayStation game Dokioki, where the Dogu are indeed foreigners.
So what were they thinking? How did the Jomon people really use These fanciful figures? What do they represent? Apparently because they were created only to be destroyed? It seems that these questions remain unanswered for the moment, and because and wherefores of Dogu Jomon remains a mystery.
