KitKat Daruma Chocolate

Kitkat - Kit Kat キットカットの「キットメール」
Kit mail

This year KitKat produced a "sweet letter" for Valentine day.
It is sold, even at our local postoffice, and can be send to a friend.
It contains three pieces of chocolate and one Daruma, in the color pink, red or yellow.




You can even paint the eyes for Daruma !




:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::




How funny is it that KitKat is making little Daruma dolls. I guess since they've been playing on their name for a long time this was the next logical step.
Kitto Katto in Japanese sounds like
Kitto Katsu = definite win!

Battle of Dan-no-Ura 壇ノ浦の合戦


源氏の白旗、white - 平氏の赤旗 red

The use goes back to the times of the Genpei war. 源平
In addition, this war and its aftermath established white and red , the colors of the Minamoto and Taira standards, respectively, as Japan's national colors.
Today, these colors can be seen on the flag of Japan, and also in banners and flags in sumo and other traditional activities.

koohaku uta gassen 紅白歌合戦
Red and White Song Battle




more commonly known as simply Kōhaku, is an annual music show on New Year's Eve produced by Japanese public broadcaster NHK and broadcast on both television and radio, nationally and internationally by NHK's networks and some overseas (mainly cable) broadcasters which bought the program. The show ends shortly before midnight.

Literally "Red and White Song Battle," the program divides the most popular music artists of the year into competing teams of red and white.
The "red" team or akagumi (赤組, 紅組) is composed of all female artists (or groups with female vocals), while
the "white" team or shirogumi (白組) is all male (or groups with male vocals).

Goshiki ga hama 五色ヶ浜 The Beach in five colors.

A Children's book of Kappa in five different colors
The motive of this book is a local legend of Koora Booshi 「甲羅法師」Kora Boshi.
The five Kappa try to keep the beach clean, help the local fishermen and enjoy sumo wrestling on a circle painted on the beach.

白良浜(しららはま)の甲羅法師(ごうらぼうし)
The legend of Shirarahama no Kora Boshi

Once upon a time, at Shirarahama, there were a lot of wet rice paddies. In the villge lived a man called Hikoza 彦左. He worked hard all day, even in the sweltering heat of summer he was out in the fields, pulling weeds. He was very proud of his strength and boasted of winning all the Sumo wrestling bouts as a child.

At that time there was a rumor in the village that in the river there lived a Kappa called 甲羅法師 Kora Boshi. He was evil and pulled the children in the river when they swam. At night he came out to the fields, pulled out some long radishes or taro potatoes and destroyed the fields while doing so. The villagers got more and more angry at his deeds.

At one night in summer, when the sun sank red into the sea and it became dark, Hikoza had finished his weed-pulling in the fields and was on his way home, passing the Shirara beach.
Suddely he heard a voice calling him:
"Hikoza, Hikoza, hey, Hikoza!"
So he answered: "Yes, what do you want?" and saw something coming out of the waves.
Aah, this must be Kora Boshi, he thought to himself, but he pretended not to know it was a Kappa.
He invited the creature:
"What a great place to meet you. Let's have a bout at Sumo wrestling!"
Kora Boshi was also proud of his Sumo skills, so he accepted.
"Yes, good idea, Hikoza, let's have a bout!"

So the two of them begun to wrestle. When Hikoza threw the Kappa onto the beach, blood began to flow from the head of the Kappa. Hikoza jumped on the Kappa and held him down,
"I know you are the guy who does all the harm in our village!"
"Please do not kill me! I promise not do any evil deeds any more!" cried the Kappa in despair.



Hikoza said:
"I will let you live, but you are not to come out to land any more, understand!" and he made the Kappa promise to keep his word. The Kappa would only be allowed if the white sand of the beach turned black or pine trees would grow on the small island 四双島 Shisojima in the nearby ocean.

After that, Kora Boshi, the Kappa, tried many times to come up to the white beach and paint it black with ink, but the waves cleaned it all very soon.
He tried to plant pines on 四双島 Shisojima Island, but they were also swept away by the waves.
Finally the Kappa gave up and never showed on the beach and in the fields again.
