I'm in BLUE! Bean-Throwing Festival!

Today's must have item for Japanese

Hello, from Kyoto Japan.

Happy first Monday in February!

Today, 3rd FEB, we have the important event to pray for fortune with our families!

We call the event 'Setsubun(Bean-Throwing Festival)'. Today is the day before the beginning of Spring.

What do we do? Look above pic and read the below!

1. We scatter beans to drive away evil and bring 
     in good luck. We say like that  'Goblins out, 
    Fortunes in!' 
    You can see the Goblin's mask, very father's 
     wearing it and children try to attack Goblins;)

2. We eat the same number of beans as their age 
     to wish for good health. Oh, these are another 
     scattering, we keep beans for eating!;)

3. We eat Fortune Sushi Roll with 3 rules as 
    follows.
      1st. Face the lucky direction of the year.
      2nd. Eat an entire Sushi Roll without 
              stopping.
      3rd. You shouldn't speak until you are 
              finished with the sushi. 
              It's said that good fortune will be gone if           
              you speak.

Today's outfit. I'm in the BLUE!

I'm wearing Natural fit down JK, Cashmere BLUE sweater, Vintage 3.1 fillip lim jacquard skirt.
