During the festival for 3 days, women as symbols of mother earth spend their time relaxing and merrymaking. While not a single agricultural activity takes place during this time, giving mother earth her time to rest.
And thus the final piece represents the cradle of life.

Happy Mayday! Originally, the Maypole was a living tree brought in from the woods with much merrymaking. Ancient Celts danced around the tree, praying for good crops and fertility. For youth, there was the possibility of courtship.

The sleepover continues. Snacks, makeovers, and other merrymaking. And poor Satoshi is feeling mighty distracted. Looks like he has to take a moment to go cool down.
