torioi 鳥追い（とりおい） is an observance performed on January 14 or 15 in the villages. To get the birds (and other unwanted animals) out of the fields.The torioi performers went from village to villate. They wear a straw sack on the back. They get some money for their performance, also some food like mochi. They were not allowed to wear robes of silk, only simple cotton. They had large straw hats to protect them from the rain.
They had special songs, for example
鶴は千年、亀は万年
"The crane lives thousand years,
the tortoise lives ten thousand years,
when they come together,
we all live long prosperous lives."
