On Bird-day that slowly coming each year, it seems like the bigger the rake you have, the more good luck it's going to bring. Because of that, I end up suddenly buying a especially big one for next year. Tori no Ichi Fair (open-air market) is a famous annual event in November on the day of the Tori (Rooster). A special thing on Tori no Ichi was "Bamboo Rake for good luck". A highly decorated bamboo rake was particular popular as goods to bring happiness and prosperity in business. It is said that to bring happiness for New Year is to change a bigger bamboo rake year by year.

Raise it high.
