I am Yoshida, president of Yamada Shusei Ltd., a professional apparel garment repair group in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture.
Recently, a swallow built a nest in one of our offices.
For many people, it is considered auspicious for swallows to nest in their homes, and there are several reasons for this.
Swallows build their nests in good environmental sites
Swallows choose to nest in houses with little humidity, sturdy buildings, and calm people who will not destroy their nests.
Nest away from the northeastern (unlucky) direction
Swallows do not nest in ”the northeastern (unlucky) direction," which is considered a place where disasters occur according to Feng Shui.
Eating pests
Swallows eat mosquitoes, flies, and other pests, which in turn helps to keep the area around the house clean.
Detect natural disasters
Swallows have a high ability to detect natural disasters, and it is believed that they build their nests in areas where there are few disasters.
Cleanliness
Swallow nests are kept clean as a result of their frequent cleaning of feces.
I would like to watch over the swallows as they have a wonderful opportunity to feel connected to nature.
