酒呑まぬ者入べからず菊の門

One name for the 9th lunar month was the Chrysanthemum Month, because chrysanthemums came into bloom then and especially because the Chrysanthemum Festival, one of the five large seasonal festivals, was held on 9/9. Actually it was held from 9/8 to 9/10, so it was a very big festival during which people went around and greeted all their neighbors and relatives and friends to wish them good health and a long life. According to Daoist legend, chrysanthemums were such a vigorous and refined flower that if you drank dew from the petals of certain large chrysanthemums growing in the mountains, you could live an extraordinarily long life. The next best thing to that was to drink "chrysanthemum sake," or sake with chrysanthemum petals in it, which was believed to protect the drinker from sickness and bestow long life. Numerous cups of chrysanthemum sake were exchanged during the Chrysanthemum Festival at parties and during visits to people's houses to make festival greetings.<br /> <br />Since the Chrysanthemum Festival was held around the time of the fall harvest, informal festivities tended to be extended far beyond 9/10, and for chrysanthemum lovers the 9th month could almost be called the Sake Month, since drinking chrysanthemum sake was thought to be healthful, and the mood was festive and favored tipsy merrymaking. Raising chrysanthemums was one of the most popular hobbies in Japan during Issa's time, at least among those who had a little wealth, but Issa points out that houses with chrysanthemums planted by or near their front doors or gates tend to have owners who like to drink and to vigorously share their chrysanthemum sake with anyone who drops in. Chrysanthemums aren't simply flowers at this time but a kind of warning sign for visitors to read.<br /> <br />Chris DrakeGabi Grevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362456518166174106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425704564220359420.post-16405665521333849902012-12-25T20:45:30.695-08:002012-12-25T20:45:30.695-08:00重陽や椀の蒔絵のことごとし
