Duke Sima Wen is a political and historian of the Northern Song Dynasty of China. A sage who is also famous as a scholar who wrote "Shijitsugan", a book that serves as a reference for politics.
"Shiba Onko's Bottle Breaking" can be seen in the sculpture of the Yomei Gate of Nikko Toshogu Shrine.
When Duke Sima Wen was a child, when his father placed a large bottle in his garden, it was filled with rainwater.
One day, when one of the children was playing with the bottle, he accidentally fell down.
Although he expected to be scolded for breaking the precious bottle, his father is said to have praised him and taught him the importance of life.

Tanka
Founded in the around 1750.
Located along the Fushimi Kaido road, this Fushimi doll kiln is marked by its historic appearance and red "noren" curtains.
When Fushimi dolls were at their peak (late Edo period), there were about 60 kilns lined up along the Fushimi Kaido road, but only one kiln still exists today. It was the only one.
At "Tanka," molds are made from spring to summer, and after drying in the sun in summer, the pieces are bisque fired in a kiln.
The painting is done from autumn to winter and spring when the glue is in good condition.
This seasonal process has been repeated for over 250 years.
They continues to create dolls every day, passing on the stories behind them.
