is ` White Day ` in Japan when you present sweets in return to the one who gave you chocolates on Feb 14th....

But here in the village it is also the date when Buddha passed away.  In a temple they make rice dumplings(photo 1) which modify Buddha's bones. People get together and catch the dumplings thrown by temple people.

You can keep it for your good fortune for this year. I'll change the old one( photo 2 ) to the new.
