Yukkanuhi

Yukkanuhi is...

In the dialect of Okinawa, it means the day of the XNUMXth.

It's May XNUMXth in the lunar calendar!

The day is considered a celebration of boys.

Pray for the healthy growth of children

There is a custom of offering sweets such as Paw Paw to the god of fire and Buddhist altars.

By the way, this year's Yuccanohi is on Sunday (June XNUMXth)!

When I went to my aunt's house, there was a pot full of zenzai made.

I've received a solid share (≧∇≦))♪

Zenzai with plenty of adzuki beans, barley and mochi...

It was sweet and delicious!

I'm not good at wheat, so I'm in charge of adzuki beans (^^;)

(I'm good at beer though lol)

On this day, in areas where fishing is thriving,

Hari is also held to pray for a good catch!

I'll tell you about Harley next time (^^)
