The Setagaya Boroichi (flea market) was held on December 15 and 16. With great weather on the 15th, the market was crowded with people looking for bargains. The Boroichi has a long history dating back to the Rakuichi (free market) of the Sengoku period (mid 15th to mid 17th centuries). It is currently held twice a year on the 15th and 16th of December and January, and is designated as an important intangible folk cultural asset by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
