In the New Year season, people put Aizu(Fukushima Prefecture)'s three fortunate things with good meaning on the sacred altar in their house. They consist of Kazaguruma(Wind-mill), Okiagari-Koboshi(Weeble Wobbles), and Hatsune(first warbling heard in a New Year).  About 400 years ago, the leader of the prefecture started this custom by ordering his subordinates to create them for a celebration of the New Year. Aizu was prosperous as a castle town. This city has a long history of merchants. This is one of the reasons why Aizu's three fortunate things started. The meaning of the three fortunate things is related to protection from disaster, praying for family health, and so on. “Tokaiti”, the market held on January 10th by the local chamber of commerce, people try to purchase in order for their family to live healthily without any disasters for a year.
