Nipplewort and Sherpherd's purse play major roles this month, as ingredients in a seven-herb rice porridge. Eaten on 7th January each year, the tradition is kept to ward off evil. Some chanting is also involved the night
 | 唐土の鳥と、 日本の鳥と、 渡らぬ先に、 七種なずな、 手につみ入れて、 亢觜斗張となる If anyone can translate this well, please do let me know.... I personally welcome this tradition, too many delicious treats and delicacies make a plain porridge style dish the perfect cleanse for the overworked digestive system, bringing the body into balance ready for the year ahead. From this day I usually abstain from alcohol for one month in order to cleanse even more. Recently with its love of fundraising activities the UK has started DRYATHLON- which encourages people to give up alcohol for the month of January and raise money for important health research. |
