このアプリの方位磁石は、「どの方角に何色の物や、何を配置することによって開運につながるかを簡単に分かるように」をコンセプトに作られています。 風水盤とは、土地や建物の吉凶などを知るためにつくられた古代中国の方位磁石が始まりといわれており、現在の形になるまで、さまざまな変遷を経ています。 風水や気学などには、現在も非常に多くの流派があり、諸説、いろいろな考え方、とらえ方があります。 方位ひとつをとっても、中国流の風水と日本流の風水では、方位が異っています。 日常的に不便なく使われる方位は、東、西、南、北、北西、南西、北東、東南の八方位です。 各方位ごとの角度は、中国流の風水では45度ずつ均等ですが、日本流の風水では一般的に、東西南北は30度ずつ、東南、南西、北東、北西は60度の範囲となっています。 それぞれの方位には意味合いがあり、運気や相性の良い幸運のパワーを持つ色があるといわれています。 色にはそれぞれ固有の波長があり、その波長がエネルギーの質や流れを変えると古くからいわれています。質を変え、気の流れを良くして事が開運に繋がると考えられています。自分の上げたい運勢があれば、その運勢のある方角に、それぞれあてはまる色の物(カーテン、絵、絨毯)等を配置するか、運気のアップするアイテム(家具、植物、インテリア等)を配置して運勢アップをしてみましょう! また生年月日を設定するだけで、毎日の吉方位と7日分の吉方位を占い表示致します。 ※当アプリは、その人が生まれ持った卦数をもとにラッキーな方位を表示、また、それぞれの方位の持つ運気をアップさせるため、相性の良い色を生活に取り入れることで、環境作りを充実させ人生を豊かに導いてくれるという考えを基本に作成しております。

This app is a compass that supports Japan’s “Ehomaki” tradition. In Japan, there is a custom of eating a thick sushi roll called “Ehomaki” during the seasonal event called “Setsubun,” which is celebrated every year on February 3. The tradition is to face a specific direction called “Eho,” make a wish, and eat the entire roll in silence to make the wish come true. On February 3, Ehomaki is sold in large quantities at food stores throughout Japan. This compass lets you check the “Eho” direction. (It automatically displays the Eho for that year.) It is a compass for checking the Eho direction when eating Ehomaki on Setsubun. As a bonus, it comes with an Oni (demon) mask for bean-throwing. The Eho direction is displayed automatically each year. It updates automatically every year. Rotate your smartphone or tablet to match the Eho direction, and check the direction to eat your Ehomaki. When you face the Eho, the words “Ehomaki Chance!” appear, and the compass glows. Eat your Ehomaki facing that direction. As a bonus, there is a convenient Oni mask for bean-throwing. During Setsubun, there is an event called “Mamemaki” (bean-throwing). A family member (usually the father) dresses up as an Oni (demon). You throw roasted soybeans (called “fukumame”) at the Oni while shouting “Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!” This means “Demons out! Good fortune in!” and is meant to wish for family happiness. By tapping the “Oni Mask for Mamemaki” button, an Oni mask will appear. There are two types: red Oni and blue Oni. On tablets, it displays a full-face version, and on smartphones, a smaller version that only covers the eye area is available, so you can choose as you like. We also provide data for Oni masks that can be printed on paper, which you can download from the app guide and use. ■ Besides February 3, there are also summer Setsubun in August and autumn Setsubun in November.
