No.4118 Tenacity of glutinous rice
I thrust the glutinous rice which I steamed to make a rice dumpling covered with red bean paste with an earthenware mortar. The manners and customs to eat a rice dumpling covered with red bean paste on the equinoctial week of spring began in the Edo era in Japan. It was believed that the color that was red was effective in averting misfortune from ancient times, but faith as food to pay illness to in the Edo era was tied to an ancestral memorial service and came to eat on the equinoctial week.
