Dance of the gods at the heavenly cave
I was very interrested by this tatebanko created by Katsushika Hokusai, but unfortunatly there was only the part 2 at the Boston's museum of Fine arts.
Recently, I found the two parts on the internet, here and here ! So, my next step is to build it (in a smaller scale than the real one) and I am really happy to do it... I will show you the progress very soon ! Last edited by Pat_craft; 08-19-2010 at 11:41 AM. |

At the first sight, I thougth that this tatebanko was very simple...
But, at the second sight, it seemed to me much more difficult !!!! Finaly, with some details (position of the tabs, small indications on the painting), there is no problem... This is the very first step, the begining of the cave... |

Now the cave is finished. Or almost. I have just to glue the sun and the moon. One on the left side, and the other on the right side.
Unfornunatly, I can't determine wich one is on the left and which one is on the right. Impossible to see it on the small picture of the tatebanko. Their position have probably a symblolic meaning... I have to think about it... If somenone have an idea... |

just going from the shapes
I would say moon left, sun right. In the story the dance is taking place at night, (the sun has hidden in a cave and the gods have gathered to cheer her up (by inventing dance and laughter) So the sun is just peeking up behind the hill on the right. the moon is high above the cave looking down. |

According to Japanese mythology Izanagi was one of the creators of Japan and its gods. When washing his face some gods came from his left and right eye:
Amaterasu (incarnation of the sun) from his left eye, Tsuki-yomi (incarnation of the moon) from his right eye Izanagi and Izanami - Myth Encyclopedia - Japanese You could use that as a guide as to where to put the Sun and Moon.
