Episode 15: The first kid
Last updated March 15, 2024
Once upon a time, on the evening of December 8, the first boy, who is invisible, came down from the mountain to the village with a thick book, looking for a house with a poor door lock. It is said that When children find clogs and sandals that are scattered in bad manners, they press the pentan and stamp them on them and write their names on the book. When the book is full of name, it is deposited in Tsuji's Dosojin until the first day, and the first kid returns to the mountain again.
The children's house with their names were feared by the people that the plague would always come the following year. Therefore, the children of the village will make a temporary shrine of Dosojin made of kadomatsu and decorations on the 14th of New Year's Day so that the book does not reach the hand even if the first kid comes on the first day of the first day. The shrine (hokora) is burned together with grilling.
On December 8th, when the first kid is coming, the adults will put their baskets in the garden of their house. Then the first boy,
"This guy has a lot of eyes, and I can't do this."
It is said that it is said that it is difficult.
