☆Setsubun Party☆
Hi there, welcome to Doremi International School of Shinsaibashi’s blog☆
Follow up with January, we experienced another Japanese traditional event in February
In Japan, we have Setsubun Party on February. Setsubun literally means “
division of seasons.” It is used to mark the end of winter and summer, and is
derived from the old lunar calendar. However, “
setsubun” has now come to mean the day before the first day of spring only. It usually occurs around February 3rd. On this day, in a custom called
mame-maki, people throw and
scatter roasted soy beans inside and outside their houses while saying, “Get
goblins out of the house! Invite happiness into the home!” Some people believe that
mame comes from the word
mametsu which means
drive away evil matter, in
Kanji.
In our school, we had a party on 1st of February and we made a paper beans instead of real one so everyone could enjoy mamemaki safely.
Most of the students were so scared of Goblin and also cried a lot but some of them were so brave to throw the paper beans to Goblin!
こんにちは、ドレミインターナショナルスクール心斎橋校です☆
当スクールでも2月も引き続き、日本の伝統文化にふれる機会を作っていっております!
2月には、スクールで節分会を開き、豆まきにチャレンジしました!
泣いてしまう生徒も多い中、中には鬼さんに自分からハグをしたり、I want to take a picture with you!と写真のおねだりをする生徒までさまざまでした☆
ずっと練習していたGO AWAY!のお歌も上手に歌い、お花紙で作った豆も投げ、福を招き入れることができたかな、と思います!
