Itsutsu no Fukuro (五つの袋 - Five Bags)

Yesterday, I introduced you to 三つの袋 (mittsu no fukuro - three bags), which is often told in Japanese weddings.

I said that there are three important bags in married life, but these days 五つの袋 (itsutsu no fukuro - five bags) are sometimes mentioned.

Today I'd like to talk about the additional two bags.

The fourth one is 胃袋 (ibukuro), which means "stomach."

Delicious meals are indispensable for a happy married life.

The fifth one is 金玉袋 (kintama bukuro), which means "scrotum."

It is also important to have sex life and have children.

五つの袋

昨日は、結婚式でよく使われる「三つの袋」について話しました。

結婚生活で大切な「三つの袋」ということでしたが、最近では二つ追加されて「五つの袋」と言うこともあります。

今日は残りの二つの袋を紹介します。

四つ目は「胃袋」です。

美味しいご飯は、幸せな結婚生活には欠かせません。

五つ目は「金玉袋」です。

性生活や、子孫を残すことも大事というわけです。
