I was under the vague impression most of Japan no longer took much notice of Fortune. In any case these look incredibly bland texture wise.

hell no. they even take things like blood type, starsign and chinese starsign super seriously, especially women.
what OP's pics are referring to is the holiday of Setsubun. 3rd of February you throw soy beans at the outside of your house to banish evil spirits from it, then you eat a special kind of sushi roll called ehomaki-zushi.
every year shinto priests pick a lucky direction, and you (and your family) have to eat the whole sushi roll while facing in that direction, in silence.
then some people go to a temple or shrine that night and drink some amazake (sort of like... a sweet, gingery non-alcoholic sake that looks like jizz) and get blessings/prayers for good luck.
monks strip down to loincloths and chant prayers while dousing themselves with freezing cold water.

Ehomaki is purely a modern marketing thing and not traditional at all.

Sushi isn't old enough for anything involving it to be traditional.

Yeah, but ehomaki is marketed as having a ceremony around it in order to boost sushi sales, which is pretty gay.

A false tradition. It was a small local event in Japan.
Most of Japan did not know it.
Commercially it was advertised.
Ehoumaki is now sold throughout Japan.
It is fashionable. No more and no less.

Why? You just need to use a large sheet of seaweed to roll the rice into a large piece.

The best is when they take off their makeup and they look so worn out and tired and that is the face they were hiding from you and all of the rest of the world and now it is a face just for you and the world can never see and you get to see the hidden sad face and kiss it gently and try to make it feel better.

sushi as we know it, yeah.
in older times sushi was just a way of storing fish and (sort of) covering the smell and taste with vinegary rice to make it kind-of edible.
kind of how salted pork used to be a staple for sailors and soldiers 500 years ago or so, but nowadays we just enjoy shit like jerky as a snack.
