Setsubun (節分) is a traditional Japanese festival day that celebrates the division of the seasons- the end of winter, to be followed by the beginning of spring- which usually falls on February 3. There are a few good luck rituals that are practiced to celebrate it, to protect your household from bad luck for the year ahead- including putting a hiiragi iwashi (柊鰯) by your front door, a holly branch with a roasted sardine head impaled on it. You see, the bad luck oni doesn't like the smell of roasted sardines, and if they do still come close to your door, the holly will poke them in the eye. And they like that even less!
This holly sardine comes mounted in a metal holder to screw onto your house wall, or alone to attach through other means of your choice. PBR with fallback textures and non PBR texture versions for both included, 1 Land Impact each fish head on a stick.
We all can use some good luck, this is a free gift you can find at the entrance of the elephant to take home your own!
