“Kisewata” 「着せ綿」

Traditionally, chrysanthemum flowers are honored on “Chōyō-no-Sekku” on September 9th. During the Heian Period, the night before Chōyō, members of the Imperial Court practiced the custom of “Kisewata” by placing cotton on chrysanthemum blossoms. The next morning, the Court washed themselves with the dew that collected on the cotton in the hopes of casting out evil and praying for longevity.

重陽の節句は9月9日に祝われ、平安時代では、重陽の前夜、菊の花に綿を置き、次の日綿につく朝露で身体を清めることで邪気を払い長寿を願う習慣があったことから「菊の節句」とも呼ばれます。
