After Asakusa hanayashiki event, we took some photos inspired by japanese traditional observances. The first theme was setsubun. Setsubun is the day before the beginning of spring according to the lunisolar calendar. On the evening of this day, people open the doors of their houses and drive the evil out of their homes and gardens by throwing handfuls of beans and shouting"Out with the evil!".(ref. from wiki) And japanese eat Eho-maki(sushi roll) to bring good luck. Next theme was St. Valentine's Day. Japanese girls give their lovers or someone in mind chocolates and/or other gifts. Photo by Nerikeshi san. Thanks a lot! *A story of Setsubun Speaking of setsubun, the first thing is Eho-maki... "No, no, this is Su-maki!!" *sumaki = wrapping something in a bamboo mator other thing Suiginto wore costume of an evil girl Lum chan from Urusei yatsura. "OK, I'll throw these beans." "Out with the evil!" ...well, you are evil, aren't you? "Oh, no!" and more photos of Suiginto in Lum chan costume. "I'm going to have to punish you!" *A story of St. Valentine's Day "My gift for you is me myself." "You seem not satisfied, don't you? OK, I know you like chocolate better than me." "I bring one for you in a sort." You may see she wore white bikini under ribbons in former three photos. We tried to take photo without it! bra of choco "...I cannot move." Last of all, she wore sailor-style school uniform. School girl Suiginto want to give you chocolate... This is the original photo of St. Valentine's Day 2013 title picture of this site.
