We celebrate a prayer against evils on February 3rd with special food and scattering soybeans in order to escape from misfortune and get happiness. It has recently became an economical event like Choco sweets for St..Valentine’s Day. Generally, people pray on several times but I have requested the prayer at the shrine every year.

Usually, the 60 years anniversary is a big celebration and we present “something red (Yakuyoke Color)” to the 60’s old person. I sent a preserved red rose arrangement in white photo flame to my friend. It remains me the time when my birthday was celebrated with 60pcs of red roses at my dinner show.

It became a happiest memories. If I am 90’s old, I may say, “I was still a young girl at that time…”
