Pig Day in October old calendar
It is said that starting to use the fire on the "Boar Month Day" will not cause a fire. The Children's Day of the Boar in 2020 is November 4 (Wednesday). In the Edo period, this day was opened at a kotatsu and called a furnace opening, and it was decided to be a winter preparation day when heating equipment began.
Wild boars have a religion of avoiding fire, and seem to have opened Irori and furnaces on the watery day to calm the fire, the Month of the Pig and the Day of the Pig. In the Edo era, which cares about the source of fire, it was also customary to avoid fire.
In the world of tea ceremony, the custom has been passed down to the world of tea ceremony, and there is a "fire opening" that shuts down the furnace for summer and switches to a ground furnace.
In modern times, electric kotatsu is safer than charcoal fire, but this demand seems to be decreasing.
I miss the winter everyday of Kotatsu and mandarin oranges.
