酉の市 – Tori no Ichi
The “tori” or rooster is one of the 12 signs of the oriental zodiac. Each November you can purchase a special rake at fairs (called 酉の市 or “Tori no Ichi”) that are held at several shrines in Japan. People believe that these special rakes gather luck for business. The rakes vary in size from just a few-inches to 10-feet long. People say that if you want to expand your business, you should buy a bigger rake every year.
左上右下 – Sajō Uge
Please look closely at these fish. Do you notice anything about how they are served???
The head is always on the left and the tail is to the right. If you go to a real Japanese restaurant, they will always serve fish this way. Traditionally in Japan we say “左上右下”. That means “left is superior to right.” If you serve fish the other way, it is considered to bring bad luck.
If you are interested in learning about Japanese culture, please contact me.
