After gobbling up the chimaki, there's a certain way to fold up the leaves and twine (to make it easier for the host to clear away).

✨CHIMAKI CHARMS🙏
One of the most important tasks in July for many households and businesses in Kyōto is the refreshing of the 'chimaki' (茅巻き).
Sold exclusively during the Gion Matsuri, these broom-like charms hang by doorways to prevent misfortune entering the home or office. -

Chimaki (ちまき) is also the name of a sweet traditionally eaten on "Children's Day" (May 5th) for good health.
Steamed rice dumplings are tightly wrapped in a sheath of bamboo leaves, their finished shape much like the prongs of a chimaki amulet.

If you peek closely at each chimaki you will see a slip of paper with the words...
"Somin-shōrai shison nari"
蘇民将来子孫也Loosely translated the phrase means "I am a descendant of Somin Shōrai, so please protect me".
[this comes from the legend of Somin and the god Susanoo].

After this time miscanthus reeds (茅 aka kaya grass) were used to repel sickness and evil, evolving into various regional charms, such as the giant 'chinowa' rings (茅の輪) and smaller brush-shaped 'chimaki' (茅巻き), hung at doorways in Kyōto from July each year.

The decorations may be a little late going up, but that hasn't stopped us from tucking in to some of the seasonal delights on offer around 'Kodomo-no-hi'.
Irises, kashiwa mochi (柏餅), koinobori (鯉のぼり), and armor motifs all make an appearance in the tearoom right about now.
