Echizen Washi

I don't know this English... 

Anyway it's just started today and people visit graves to pray for their ancestors during this time. Actually  we have this kind of season twice a year ; spring and fall.

In old sayings, `both hot and cold season last until this time`( hope you understand my poor translation ! ) , which is really true.

And we eat sweety rice with cooked beans( black) and bean powder( yellow ), which was given my coworker in his seventies. People in this village always spend these seasonal events. I think it's very important.

I hope the people in the disater area will have warm spring soon...
