鬼に衣
季節の変わり目に鬼が訪れる。
左手に枡を、右手に豆を。
投げて唱える「鬼は外 福は内」―――
古来より伝わる鬼やらいの年中行事。
さて、滅されるのはどこぞの誰か。
Dress for Demons
When the seasons change, the oni come out.
The left hand holds a masu wooden box for alcohol.
The right hand holds beans.
Throw the beans and chant, "Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi" (Out with the oni, in with the good fortune).
This event has been practiced yearly since ancient time to ward off demons.
Now then...who will be the one to fall in ruin?
