4月20日(shigatsu hatsuka): April 20

It was rather cold at this time today.
Today is kokuu (穀雨), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節季), the 24 solar terms. Last one was seimei (清明) on April 5 and the next one is rikka (立夏) on May 6.
Kokuu (穀雨), literally grain rain, which means the spring rain moisten 100 grain.

Do you have any special memory on April 20? I have. It was in 1992 on that day there was an opening ceremony of Expo '92 in Seville, Spain.
One year from March 1992 to March 1997 became a really special year for me. I have learned and seen so many things there. It is still one of the best years of my life.
