Seedling sales - Naeuri

Japanese: 苗売 - なえうり
Seedling sales - Naeuri
Around May, people who walked around town selling flowering plants, eggplant, loofah, gourd and other seedlings on a scale. Their distinctive, drawn-out voices calling out "morning glory seedlings, evening glory seedlings..." were a part of the early summer scenery in the city. They had been around since the Edo period, but have disappeared in recent years.

5月頃,草花や,ナス,ヘチマ,ヒョウタンなどの苗をてんびんでになって町中を売り歩いた人。「朝顔の苗や,夕顔の苗…」という独特の長く引いた呼び売りの声は,都会の初夏の風物の一つであった。江戸時代からみられたが,近年は姿を消した。
