Japanese House Tour





Japanese House Tour

A look around a very typical house in Japan built in the 1980s. We lived in this house for 5 years. It was very cool in the summer but very cold in the winter which lead us to move out into a much newer house.

Japanese Culture - Bean Throwing Festival





Japanese Culture - Bean Throwing Festival - 節分日本



Setsubun (節分, Bean-Throwing Festival or Bean-Throwing Ceremony) is the day before the beginning of Spring in Japan. The name literally means "seasonal division", but usually the term refers to the Spring Setsubun, properly called Risshun (立春) celebrated yearly on February 3 as part of the Spring Festival (春祭 haru matsuri). In its association with the Lunar New Year, Spring Setsubun can be and was previously thought of as a sort of New Year's Eve, and so was accompanied by a special ritual to cleanse away all the evil of the former year and drive away disease-bringing evil spirits for the year to come. This special ritual is called mamemaki (豆撒き) (literally "bean throwing"). Wiki:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setsubun
