1968 Is

By TAMOTSU MURAYAMA
j^TOKYO.—The Jpaanese people are becoming more
raaM more superstitious as compared with the generaYtion of prewar years. As the Year of the Monkey (Sa■\ru)— 1968 — was near, there were numerous wedding
-ceremonies being celebrated at the shrines, temples
and hotels. The Year of the Saru, which corresponds
yy
the meaning “to return” or “to divorce”, is con’■^sidered unlucky for marriages.
■A^
explains why so many young people are tryAng to get married within the Year of the Ram (Hitsuji), which expires on Feb. 3, according' to the lunar
calendar.
<«^And babies born during the Year of the Monkey are
considered to be as wise as the monkey.
AsSfAs the Japanese monkey has a deep red face, some
■ people interpret that red to mean “fire.” And 1968

The Year Of The Monkey (Saru)
will see a lot of fires.
In other words, 196S shall be stormy and trouble­
some. Something uncomfortable is believed to be brew­
ing: hence, superstitious people are praying that real
peace will come.
And the Year of the. Monkey will also see many los­
ing their tempers and their faces becoming red with
fury.
The Monkey in Folklore
The monkey is a popular animal in Japanese folk­
lore and fairy tales. Momotaro was accompanied by
a dog, monkey and a pheasant when he went to con­
quer the land of the devils, Onigashima.
Another popular tale is that of the Monkey and the
Crab. The monkey met the crab who was takinghome a rice cake and deluded the crab into exchanging
the delicacy for a persimmon seed. The crab accepted

the exchange and planted the seed, which soon grew
into a fine tree.
The persimmons ripening on the tree attracted the
attention of rhe monkey and one day as he was going
to help himself, the crab waiting under the tree asked
him to kindly throw down some of the fruit. Instead,
the monkey ate all the ripe fruit himself and bom­
barded the poor crab with unripe fruit until the poor
creature was nearly killed.
The family of the crab became very angry. They
declared war upon the entire race of monkeys. But
they were unable to cope with the great heats of
monkeys so the crab family decided to use their craft
to bring their fleet-footed opponent to his doom. They
enlisted the services of a mortar and pestle, a bee
and a chestnut.
