~節分~ Setubun's Happy Set

今日は節分の日。巻き寿司は西南西を向いて食べました。日本のみんなが西南西を向く姿を考えると、幸せな気持ちになる。

Today is SETUBUN, this day we throw beans and eat makizushi with looking west-south-west(西南西).
Imagine, every japanese look at same direction and eating rolling sushi: )


Makizushi, japanese people eat it today.

“MAMEMAKI” means bean Throwing to drive away evil spirit and disease.

DON'T FORGET, SETUBUN'S ORIGINE is OSAKA!!!!

Today I saw this news from TV :)
The TV station interpreted this fastival as '撒豆節', I knew this custom before,but from your blog I know you need to eat Makizushi... but why?
btw,nochan,西島秀俊 and 中山美穂 play a new film called Sayonara Itsuka this year,have you seen it? haha I want to see this film quickly~but maybe it's very difficult.I like 西島 because of a TV play--- many Chinese people know this play and talk about it.His performance in Ohoku is fantastic, people said his eyes look like 梁朝偉's,but I think his eyes are more pure ha..ha
do you know some other news recently about 西島秀俊? If you find some next time, tell me please~thanks a lot^^
ps:Do you use Facebook?

Hi gulf-san, I answer your question.
Why we eat Makizushi at Setsubun.
Maybe this cusutom started at Osaka. We wish healthy and happiness with eating makizushi.
I don't know why makizushi:(

As for Sayonaraitsuka,
I never it yet but many time we watch the commercial.

西島is handsome:) and Nakayama is so beutiful;)
