It is good to harden the teeth, Totoya Hokkei, c. 1822 Canvas Print
A woman uses a knife to cut dried rice cake, with new year decorations behind her. At the beginning of the new year, eating hard things like dried rice cake was something that would make the teeth harder and thus prolong life. With two poems. The prints from this series are in line with the belief that the first activities of the new year were extra special. The red cartouche on the prints refers to almanacs that indicated which activities could or should not be undertaken on certain days by people born in a given year.
