On Tuesday, January 7th, the local revitalization volunteers will be working with the Green Society to serve rice porridge with seven herbs (o^^o)

Japanese parsley, shepherd's purse, burdock, chickweed,
Potokenoza, turnip, and radish

The custom of eating rice porridge with seven herbs is said to have begun in the Edo period.
The seven herbs are said to ward off evil spirits because they sprout early in the spring, so people ate nanakusa-gayu (rice porridge with seven herbs) to pray for good health.
In the old days, the number of times the grass was chopped was determined by tapping it on a cutting board.

On the day, you can also experience "old-fashioned games" such as Kamishibai (picture storytelling), Hyakunin Isshu (a card game played by one hundred poets), spinning tops, Daruma Drop, playing cards, Fukuwarai (a game of Fukuwarai with a lucky face), Sugoroku (a game of Sugoroku with a lucky face), and Ohajiki (a game of marbles), so please come along ( ´ ▽ ` )
