恵方巻き soy bean throwing day
やって参りました。今年もぬかりなく、母から節分セットが2週間前に送られ、無事に鬼は外が終了しました。丁度子供教室があったので皆で“鬼は〜外”をしました。家の厄払い、例年よりも完璧に出来た気がする。皆の者、ご苦労であった。
So, it's here again. The annual "Bean throwing day". This is to get rid of bad spirit and welcome good one by throwing roasted soy bean out of the window and throwing some inside of the house. We make "oni (goblin) masks and "fuku"(happiness spirit)to represent both spirits and also make sushi roll called "Ehou-maki" which has veggies, eggs and some pickled fish. It's a tradition to eat a whole sushi roll white facing the good luck direction without speaking a word to ensure the peace and happiness for the entire year. The house I grew up, we took this tradition really, really seriously and never missed once. As usual, my mom sent me the package that had everything....talk about pressure!
母上からの贈り物でござる。
A "Bean throwing day" package from my mom.
まずは鬼のお面作り。これ、思った以上に面白かったです。それぞれのお面、かなり個性がでます。
First, we made goblin mask. It was so interest how each masks reflected children's personality. So much fun!
いや〜、皆上手です。乙女バージョンあり、ヘビメタ鬼あり、とてもクリエイティブで、笑ってしまった。最高です。
These kids are amazing! They're so creative and all masks are incredibly unique. ...and funny if I may add. Great works guys!
そして肝心の恵方巻きを作ります。
Then on to making the Ehou-maki.
えっと、方向どっちだっけ。。。ごめん、全部の方向向いて食べてね。驚く事に普段は賑やかなこのグループ、見事に静かだった。。。。子供は素直である。。。時々。
With out cutting, they ate the whole sushi roll. To my surprise, this "talkative"group became absolutely silent while eating the roll....wow. Miracle do happen!
