Amezaiku is one of the traditional Japanese arts crafts.
The candy is softened by heating to around 90 degrees C (almost 200 degrees F), and is finely crafted with bare hands and traditional Japanese scissors. Amezaiku is created by cutting, pulling, and bending candy which is attached at the top of stick.
Amezaiku must be finished within just a few minutes after removing the candy from the pot, due to the characteristic of candy: hardened when cooled and softened when heated. Amezaiku is not crafted by chipping or shaving from a block, as in sculpture.
It is said Amezaiku originated in the 8th century. During the Edo period (17th to 19th centuries), craftsmen showed their making performance on streets to sell to the people, and Amezaiku was a form of entertainment enjoyed by common people.
The technique of Amezaiku has been passed down over generations. However, because Amezaiku is a traditional subculture, there is no literature with detailed descriptions of the processes and skills involved.
■「飴細工」とは
90度ほどに熱して柔らかくした飴を棒の先に丸めてつけ、その飴を握り鋏と素手だけで、様々な動物や植物のかたちに造形する。造形が可能な時間は飴が冷えて固まるまでの数分間しかない。一つの塊から切り取ったり付け足したりせず作り上げるスタイルの飴細工は、世界中探しても日本にしかない。
江戸時代に飴を売るためのパフォーマンスとして広く庶民に広がった。
