Tomorrow is "setsubun" in Japan.
Setsubun is the day before "risshun".
"Risshun" is kind of the first day of spring.
We do "mame-maki"(soybean-throwing) at "setsubun".
So, we made two types of T-shirts.
One is "setsubun" in kanji and two "Nio"'s silhouette.
"Nio" are guardians of a temple.
They stand on the gate of the temple and guard from evil.
The other one is "mame-maki" (soybean-throwing) in kanji and a pacific parrotlet.
Pacific parrotlet is called "mame-ruriha" in Japan.
Because "mame" means is bean in Japanese.
Do you know pacific parrotlet?
They are so cute and lovely little bird and even so wild!
They don' t like soybean, love hempseeds.
