  1. For most communities the New Year began with the first full moon of the first month.

    It was customary to eat 'azuki-gayu' (小豆粥), a rice gruel mixed with red adzuki beans, for health and to exorcise evil spirits.
    Red was considered a protective colour, especially against disease.

  6. 🌾LITTLE NEW YEAR🙏

    Before the New Year celebrations wrap up, there is one more observance to be made on January 15th.

    Tōrin-in preserves the tradition of 'Koshōgatsu' (小正月 'Little New Year'), a once-popular ritual in rural areas, where people would pray for good harvests.
