Since last week is less cold and the temperature reaches 14 degrees ...
I do not remember the celebrated "Setsubun" so 'mild ...
The Setsubun is the day that marks the change of every season in Japan, but the spring (February 3) and 'more' popular because it 's Eve and New Year's Eve and' the day before the start of Spring according to the lunar calendar. And celebrate with various ceremonies depends on the region ...
To drive the Malvasia '(demons, ogres) who are often born to changes in season, throw soybeans shouting "Away the orcs inside the luck!" and it says that you can enjoy good health throughout the year if they eat a number of age '.
Or the front door puts a sprig of holly with the head of sardine (my mother still does now ...)
And you go to the temple ... In Kyoto
various ceremonies are held at various temples, and 'fun to participate in one by one ...
This year I visited the temple to watch a show Mibudera "Mibu Kyogen," a type of Kyogen (traditional Japanese theater represented a by actors with masks), and the temple
Rozanji to see "orcs" ... A
Rozanji I saw "Oniodori (dance orc)", shoots the arrow with a bow, and the launch of the beans and mochi (rice dough steamed and crushed).
The ogre red means 'greed,' "the green" anger "and the black" the complaint ", that 'represent the three perversity' and are driven by human beans launched, by the arrows and the sacred fire ... And last
beans and mochi are cast by the monks and all the spectators try to get them on the fly ...
Rozanji and 'also known to be inhabited by Murasakishikibu (a very famous writer of the time Heian, 10-11 ゜ century) ... I would like to visit again with calm ... While
Mibu Kyogen was born about 700 years ago to spread Buddhism to the people playing the various scenes of the doctrines. He was represented not jokes, 'cause then there were no microphones. He has many repertoires and are recited at various times of the year, and is recited Setubun own repertoire "Setsubun". It seems to me that being a patomima, easy to understand for foreigners ...
The Mibu Kyogen theater is found to be the 'of this building, and here you have to queue to get into it ...
Mibudera The entrance to the temple, there are many stalls selling various kinds and is' very funny ... And
eats "Makisushi (a type of rolled sushi wrapped in nori sheet) without talking and looking at the lucky direction (ognni year changes) ... And
February 4 and 'Rissyun, that' the first day of the second spring the lunar calendar ...
Now the climate and 'mild ... but the cold will return' still, the other spring ...
