The children run cheerfully around the fire and poke it with sticks. Later, over the fire,they toast mochi (rice cakes), which have been offered to Toshigami-sama, and eat them together hoping that the feast will give them protection from colds throughout the new year. This colorful custom of making a bonfire is known as "Sagicho" or "Dondo-yaki".」「In the medieval ages, members of the imperial clan and the nobility played a ball game in which they hit a ball with special stick. During the New Year holidays, they would gather and make a pile of all their old sticks to burn them. During the ritual an expert in the science of divination would take three of the old sticks to build a tripod on which they put a pot; some special food was cooked in it as an offering to the gods, after which all those present at the」、十一頁に「ceremony would eat some of it. This custom had been introduced from the Chinese Continent by the eighth century. Sagicho is the corrupt form of a word meaning three sticks; the Chinese characters today used for the word Sagicho were simply added later. Dondo-yaki, by the way, is the corrupt form of "dondon yakeru" which simply means "burning rapidly". 」「When the tripod, or Sagicho, was built the children would walk round the fire and poke it with sticks while singing the "Sagicho no Uta" (Sagicho Song). 」「The song recorded in this program was sung by primary school children in Kyoto Prefecture in the western part of Honshu, which served as the nation's capital until the Meiji Restoration in 1868. 」「The words of the song go: "Sagicho has been started; the fire is burning rapidly. Let's toast in the fire the mochi we have offered to Toshigami-sama who has brought us the new year, and let's eat them together."」「The custom seemed temporarily to be going out of fashion after World War II, but has been revived recently and is being observed again all over the counry.」と記載。[雑資料「JAPANESE NURSERY & CHILDREN'S SONGS」十三頁に三毬杖の絵図あり。]
