On the days of ‘Tori no ichi,’ stalls selling ‘Engi-kumade’ decorated with lucky charms that bring in good fortune such as okame (the face of a plain woman) line up.
In addition to the rakes, the lucky charms of Tori no ichi included ‘To no imo’ (head potatos) (which are pronounced in the same manner in Japanese as Chinese potatoes) and ‘Kogane-mochi’ (gold rice cake) made of awa (millet) from the Edo period.
In this way, Tori no ichi transformed from the agricultural fair of the neighboring farm villages displaying autumn harvests and practical farming tools into the urban festival, having kazari-kumade (decorative rakes) full of good omens that brought in good fortune and so on as the lucky charms of the fair, as it moved from the countryside to the city of Edo.
こんにちは！
麻布十番の美容室、OneWORLDです。
去年お世話になった酉の市のお店よりハガキが！
もうこんなきせつなんですね〜
今年は11月5日 一の酉 17日 二の酉 29日 三の酉 。
OneWORLDも去年の熊手を浅草の鷲神社に交換しに行く予定です。
三の酉まである年は火事に注意！
と昔から言われているみたいなので、火の元注意！ですね
