Ehomaki

Hello.
This is May in Japan.

Today is Setsubun day.
We have to scatter soybeans about the house.

And also, we eat Ehomaki on Setsubun day.

Ehomaki means a kind of sushi rolls.
It is written in Japanese as 恵方巻. 

Eating Ehomaki is considered to bring good luck.
We look in the lucky direction of the year with closed eyes, and must silently bite into Ehomaki while thinking of our wish.

The lucky direction of this year is west-southwest.

I hope my wish will come true.
