Today's quote is for

高2の娘がひと言。
「そろそろ、伊達巻の時代だね」
私「???恵方巻の季節…じゃない?」
娘「あー、そうやった、間違えた!」
「恵方巻ー>伊達巻」「季節→時代」間違えすぎ!

My daughter in 11th grade said:
"It's almost the era for datemaki."
Me: ??? Do you mean...the season for ehoumaki?
Daughter: Oh, yeah, oops!
Ehoumaki --> Datemaki, Season --> Era, that's way more than an "oops!"

'...[F]or many Japanese, Setsubun is a cherished childhood memory. Yelling “Oni wa soto!” (“Out with demons!”) while pelting schoolteachers and parents pretending to be demons with dry-roasted soybeans is done in good-natured fun.' japantimes.co.jp/life/2023/01/

Stores are preparing for , on February 3. The tossing of beans keeps away evil spirits. The day marks the day before the traditional start of spring on the old calendar. Of course, spring actually begins on the vernal equinox near the end of March, but somehow, maybe psychologically, it feels like the onset of spring is coming. Today is quite cold. But after Setsubun you start to feel it’s almost spring, and you start seeing Sakura buds appearing, and winter begins to fade away.

In Japan, today is , the holiday that marks the turning point from Winter towards Spring and is known for throwing beans at people dressed as demons (or just throwing them out the window). The neighborhood Shinto priest told us that people throw beans because beans were the baseline food for agricultural people, holding the power of survival when there was no other food. So you chase away poverty, illness, hunger, depression, despair... with beans.

En route pour la cérémonie de «  » (lancer de haricots secs) à notre sanctuaire local ( jinja). Apparemment, on n'y lance pas que des haricots, mais aussi quelques babioles pour les enfants...
