January 7th (Sunday) is the first festival of the new year, "Jinjitsu Festival (a festival to cherish people)." It is also called "Seven Herbs Festival" because people eat the seven herbs to ward off evil spirits and pray for good health for the year.<\/p>\n

In early spring, people pick young leaves, a plant known for its rejuvenation, and eat them hot to ward off evil spirits and eliminate all illnesses.<\/p>\n

The Seven Herbs of Spring<\/h4>\n

The seven herbs of spring are: parsley, shepherd's purse, dandelion, gogyo, motherwort, chickweed, boxelder, Buddha's seat, tabirako, sycamore, and turnip.<\/p>\n

This year, in addition to the seven herbs, I made porridge using boiled Kurosengoku soybeans, 24 kinds of grains, and three superfoods (teff, kaniwa, and amaranth).<\/p>\n
