There is also a sign that this word will be forgotten in 2021. I think some groups hold the event with great strain, but there are people who never want to participate.
The term 2021 Year-honored Meeting seems to be forgotten. Although there are some groups that are keen to hold the Year-end Meeting (Japan Annual Meeting), there are certainly some people who don't want to go at all.
In fact, in the Kamakura period, it seems to be a year-end party that was an event that I wanted to leave alone, saying, "I had forgotten the year-end party one step ahead!"
In fact, as early as the Kamakura period, there was "first forget the disturbances of the past year, forget the annual meeting!" "Almost regardless of the activities, it seems to be a year-forgetful meeting."
There is no online system as it is now, and there is no high airtight house, so it seems that it was a harsh situation compared to that of modern times.
With no modern network system and no high-density homes, the New Year's Eve seemed tough compared to now.
In this article, I would like to tell you about the year-end party of the Kamakura period.
This article will elaborate on the Year-forgetful meeting during the Kamakura period.
It is fun to have a year-end party with good friends, but there may be many people who are honestly unsightly at the year-end party of the company that you have to be careful about. However, compared to the "Year-end party of the Kamakura period" introduced this time, you should think that it is definitely a good idea.
Although it is fun to chat with good friends at the Year-end meeting, I think many people are tired of the company's Year-end meeting that must be worried. However, compared with the "Kamakura Period Forgotten Year's Meeting" introduced this time, these are obviously small witches.
The origin of the year-end party is medieval "Shiwasuse"
The Year-forgetful Party originated from the medieval "Year-forgetfulness "Forget the Year"
There are various theories about the origin of year-end parties, but the most influential event is called "Shiwasre" held during the Kamakura to Muromachi period.
There are many opinions on the origins of the Year-Forget-up Party, but the most convincing is the "Year-forget-it-Year" event held during the Kamakura-Muromachi period.
This "Shiwasuru" is a little different from drinking alcohol and making noise like the current year-end party.
This kind of "year-in-year" activity is different from the modern year-end drinking and chatting.
It seems that high-profile people such as aristocrats and senior samurai (it is now a celebrity) gathered at the end of the year and performed a series of songs (connecting Waka by multiple people) all night long. If you write in this way, you may be enchanted, "As expected, the people of the upper class are elegant year-end parties." But think about it. This might have been quite harsh, like ascess.
Nobles, upper-class samurai, and other upper-class figures (i.e., modern celebrities) gathered at the end of the year and chanted all night (the first and second sentences of the japanese song). If you describe it this way, you may think that "it is worthy of the elegant year-end meeting of the upper class" and unconsciously immerse yourself in it. But think about it, isn't this a very difficult and laborious activity?
All night trembling in the cold...
I was frozen all night and shivered...
The act that the following person continues by 7.7 to the song of 5,7,5 that the previous person reads, and the following person continues the song of 5.7,5 further is done endlessly until it becomes 100 phrases to say the ream. Moreover, there are various restrictions such as not using the same word.
A song is a japanese song in the previous person's 575 format, the next person in 77 format, and the next person in 575 format, continuously up to 100 sentences, but with various restrictions, such as not using the same sentence.
If you think about it in place of the present age, you may feel like "all night with your boss or colleagues (and with strict rules)".
In modern times, it's the equivalent of "playing solitaire games with bosses and colleagues all night (and with strict rules)...".
In addition, the housing situation at that time might be a wooden house even if it is a residence of any celebrity. Of course, there were no air conditioners and gas heaters, and it was in the Edo period that kotatsu spread, so it seems that it was a brazier that was mainly used. At the end of the year when the cold is severe, in a wooden house where the sukima wind enters, they do a series of songs throughout the night while warming up in a brazier. "Towasre" must have been a painful event so much that I thought what a punishment game it was.
Moreover, no matter which celebrity it was at that time, the mansion was a wooden structure house, and there was no air conditioning, no gas heater, and it was only in the Edo period that quilt stoves were popularized, so braziers were mainly used at that time. At the end of the cold year, in the air-ventilated wooden house, rely on the brazier for heating all night and chant and sing.... The "Yearless" event is almost like a punishment game, which is undoubtedly a very difficult activity.
When it's hard, remember 'Toshiwasre'
Think about the "Forget the Year" activity when it is difficult
I had to drink to my unpleasant boss, and my subordinates who can't use it were able to talk to me as much as I could today because it was a rude lecture. The year-end party of the company is not only fun. I understand how I feel.
You have to drink with your nasty boss, and your unreliable subordinates are very rude because they don't have to talk formally today... The company's year-end meetings were not all pleasant, and I understand very well.
However, in such a time, "Old people are more harsh (?) We had a year-end party." It may feel a little lighter.
But at that time, if you think that "people's forgetting the year in the past will be more difficult", you may feel a little more relaxed.
Before the full-fledged year-end party season arrives, let's know how to get through!
Before the real New Year's Eve season arrives, master survival skills!
