Memorial Service for the Broken Needle in Japan
 

I thought this was an interesting cultural ceremony in Japan. It is dedicated to the broken needle.

VERY interesting!!! Thanks for posting this!

good use of tofu

I've never heard of this festival. We lived there for seven years. It is a certainly a land of festivals. I think, there is one for every day of the year. How very interesting.

Thanks for sharing this was very interesting and as far as I am concerned probably the best use for Tofu LOL

rofl!!! :D

I agree it is very interesting. It doesn't explain why they use tofu for this :confused:.

It is probably used as it is soft and the needles would easily penetrate it.

Hey, I like tofu! You just have to know how to cook it right. ;-)

I think that's a neat festival though - I like how it's focused on not wasting the little things, and paying attention to useful household items. Plus the "no housework" rule is one I can totally get behind!

So interesting!
