...It is said that exchanging the bush warblers dispels the misfortunes of the past year in the form of lies, and thus welcomes the new year and good fortune. In Christian countries such as the West, April 1st is called April Fools' Day, and is considered a day when innocent lies are forgiven. This tradition is also observed in Japan, but on the other hand, lies are not permitted on other days, and a distinctive feature is that lies must be personally atoned for through confession or repentance.

…鷽を交換することで1年間の不幸をうそとして払ってしまうともいい,それによって新しい年や幸運を迎えるのである。西洋などのキリスト教国では4月1日を〈万愚節(エープリル・フールApril Fools’Day)〉といって,罪のないうその許される日とされ,日本でもこの風は行われているが,逆に他の日はうそは許されないのであり,告解とか懺悔という形で個人的に償わねばならないのが特徴である。【飯島 吉晴】 ※「April Fools'Day」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
