Yukkuri Children's Day
Summary:
Because baby yukkuris can grow quickly, a certain town uses them as decorations on Children's Day to symbolize their wish for their sons to grow big and strong.
They buy baby yukkuris that have had their anyarus stopped up with flour just for the occasion, force-feed them until they're many times their original size, and display them in the house all day.
Then, after midnight, they cook the yukkuris and eat them.
