Tale 105 — The harvest divination of yonakami
On the night of the Little New Year, there was a custom called yonakami, in which mirror rice cakes made from various kinds of rice were used, and the next morning the amount of rice grains that stuck to the cakes was used to divine that year's harvest or failure, and whether early, middle, or late rice would do well.
