It is traditional end of winter today!

There is the name in the season when I attached it to each which divided one year into 24 to a Japanese calendar (calendar) with the traditional end of winter.

February 4 "is the beginning of spring" of the twenty-four seasons in the old calendar for 2,014 years, and spring will begin on this day on the calendar.

It is the time that, in fact, is cold most in one year in spring because it is a meaning it begins to become warm from this day even if I say that is to continue becoming cold until this day.

The winter last day "is traditional end of winter" on a calendar on February 3 of the day before the beginning of spring.

It is thought that an ogre appears in the turning point of the season from old days, and a misfortune is caused, and an event to leave, and to put fortune is performed by sending this away with a bean on traditional end of winter.

And I eat the vinegared rice rolled in dried laver called the lucky direction scroll towards the direction of a good direction, and there is a custom to hang a sardine and a holly under the eaves of the house.

There are few places that a sardine and the holly hang in the current house, but thinks that the person valuing the country and culture like my father goes.

The custom to eat the bean-scattering ceremony and a lucky direction scroll is now in the general family.

Because I have forgotten to buy me yesterday, I go to buy it today^^;

今日は節分です！

節分とは日本の暦（こよみ）には1年間を24に分けたそれぞれにつけた季節の名前があります。

2014年は2月4日が二十四節気のうちの「立春」で、暦の上ではこの日から春が始まることになります。

春といっても、この日から暖かくなりはじめる、つまりこの日までは寒くなり続けるという意味なので、実は1年で一番寒い時期でもあります。

立春の前日の2月3日、暦の上で冬の最後の日が「節分」です。

昔から、季節の変わり目には鬼があらわれ災難がおこると考えられており、節分にこれを豆で追いはらうことで福をむかえ入れるための行事が行われます。

そして良い方位の方向に向かって恵方巻きという海苔巻きを食べて、家の軒下には鰯と柊を吊るしておくという習慣があります。

現在の家では鰯と柊は吊るすという所は少ないのですが、田舎や私の父親のような文化を大切にする人は行っていると思います。

一般家庭では豆まきと恵方巻きを食べる習慣は今でもあります。

私は昨日買い忘れてしまったので今日買いに行きます
