Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a doll that can be put in a coffin together with a body and can be cremated, and more particularly to a pottery doll that can be taken out together with the ashes after cremation to be remembered by a deceased person.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Today, corpses are generally stored in caskets and burned in a furnace in a crematorium to be cremated. Decorated. In addition, as a general practice, praying that the deceased will not be troubled if he goes to the world after death, while the empty space inside the coffin contains various items such as the items that the deceased loved before and his favorite foods. In some cases, burial items will be paid.

[0003]

However, such a conventional funeral has a problem that the wishes of the bereaved family to keep the memories with the deceased forever are not always satisfied.

[0004] Because the bereaved family wants to keep the memory of the deceased not only in the mind but also as a concrete form, in the conventional funeral, the burial goods stored in the casket. All are completely burned with the body, and only the remains are left to the bereaved. Moreover, the remains are usually placed in a urn and can be kept at hand for a while, but they are usually placed in a grave afterwards.

On the other hand, it is possible for the bereaved family to set up Buddhist altars and altars to enshrin the tiles of the deceased even after burial. However, even though the tile is merely a wooden plaque on which the name of the monk is given, and it can be the object of worship, it is difficult to heal the sadness of losing the important person by repeating the memories of the deceased person.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to leave the memories of the deceased in a more concrete form, and to provide psychological comfort and comfort to the bereaved family.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object and solve the problems, the present invention relates to a cremation doll which is housed in a casket together with a body and is subjected to cremation. Molded and fired to make the inside of the doll hollow,
Holes communicating with the inside of the doll are formed at appropriate positions on the doll.

[0008]

According to the present invention, a doll that can be stored together with the body in the coffin is configured so that the memory of the deceased to be cremated can be better retained by the bereaved family. This doll is a so-called pottery doll that is made by molding raw clay such as clay and then solidifies it.It retains its shape without burning during cremation, and the same when the deceased is cremated and says goodbye to this life. You can snuggle up to the deceased in the coffin. After the cremation, the bones were taken out with the bones when the bones were fried, and the bereaved family kept their eyes on the deceased
You can take this with you.

The form of the doll in the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, a doll figure that can be the object of worship, such as Jizo Bodhisattva or Kannon Bodhisattva (Kanzeon Bodhisattva), can respond to the wishes of the bereaved family wishing for the deceased's Buddha and facilitate the festival at the altar or altar after the funeral. In addition, it is possible to make various doll figures such as Dainichi Nyorai, Bodhisattva Maitreya, Christ statue, and Mary statue according to the religious sect to be worshiped. The image content is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a standing image or a sitting image. Items such as jewels and tin cans can be designed as appropriate. In addition, the dolls that can be used by any sect of Buddhism are constructed by abstracting the various Buddhist statues known from the past and using a different design from the existing Buddhist statues. You can also do it.

When molding a doll, the inside of the doll is made hollow, and holes communicating with the inside of the doll are formed at appropriate positions on the doll. This hole has the function of introducing heat during cremation to the inside of the doll so that it can be spread evenly throughout the doll, while releasing heat inside the doll after the cremation is completed. Heating and heat dissipation are suppressed, and damage to the doll (cracking or so-called cold cracking) can be prevented. From the viewpoint of design, it is preferable that the specific formation position of the hole is a non-conspicuous position such as the bottom surface or the back surface of the doll.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view (a), an AA sectional view (b) and a bottom view (c) showing an example of a cremation doll according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, this doll 11 is in the shape of a Bodhisattva Kannon, and is made by molding raw material clay into the shape and firing it while forming a hollow S inside the doll.

Here, the back portion 14 of the doll is formed flat so as to be stable in a state of being laid in a casket so that the doll 11 does not fall down due to a strong flame flow. Forming the back portion 14 as a flat surface to prevent the doll from falling is particularly effective in the case of a tall doll. On the other hand, the bottom portion (ankle portion) 12 is also formed into a flat surface so that it can be made to stand when it is enshrined in the Buddhist altar.

The bottom surface portion 12 is provided with a hole 13 which communicates with the hollow interior S of the doll. This hole 13 is for introducing heat (flame) into the doll during cremation, while allowing heat inside the doll to escape after the cremation is completed to prevent damage to the doll. Therefore, when this casket is put into the casket, it is desirable to put it in the casket in a state where it is laid down so that the hole 13 is not blocked. As described above, in order to ensure stability at the time of casket (laying down), A flat surface similar to the bottom surface was formed on the back surface (back) 14.

As the raw material clay for forming the doll, existing clays which are raw materials for the ceramics may be used. However, do not use glaze and do unglazed. This is because the glaze may melt and adhere to the ashes during cremation.

FIG. 2 shows another example of the cremation doll according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, this doll 21 is designed as a sitting Jizo bodhisattva, and unlike the doll of the above-mentioned embodiment which is a standing statue, the height of the doll is relatively low and a stable casket in a standing state is possible. Therefore, the hole 23 for preventing damage is provided on the back side of the doll. The doll's bottom surface 22 is a flat surface as in the above embodiment.

Therefore, according to such a doll, it is possible to put it in the casket together with the deceased person when the casket is to be cremated with the deceased person. This doll can retain its shape without burning during cremation, so after the cremation, the bereaved family can take it out with the remains of the corpse and bring it back as a keepsake (remembering) of the deceased and keep it forever. In this way, unlike the traditional tiles, this doll can stay close to the deceased in the middle casket during cremation and can be used for confession of this birth, so that the bereaved family will better inherit the memories of the deceased. It is possible to respond to the wishes of the bereaved in memory of the deceased and reduce their sadness.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. In particular, the appearance design of the doll can be various shapes such as Kannon Bodhisattva and Jizo Bosatsu. As described above, it is preferable that the doll of the present invention is unglazed in consideration of the influence on the ashes, but the use of glaze is not prohibited. Further, the hole holes (13, 23) for preventing damage are not limited to one, and a plurality of holes may be provided. For example, if holes are provided on both the bottom surface and the back surface, it is possible to reliably prevent accidents when the casket is accidentally placed with the hole on the lower side and the hole is closed during cremation and the doll is destroyed. The thickness of the doll is not particularly limited, but it is desirable that the thickness is uniform in order to prevent cracks during cremation and cracks during cooling.

[0018]

As described above, according to the cremation doll of the present invention, the cremation doll can be placed in a casket for cremation with the deceased, and can be taken out after cremation and left as a memory of the deceased.
It is possible to give more comfort and peace to the bereaved.
