7月23日(shichigatsu nijyusan nichi): July 23

Today is taisho (大暑), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節季), the 24 solar terms. The last one was shosho (小暑) on July 7 and the next one is risshu (立秋) on August 8.
Taisho literally means big heat, but it was not so hot today.

July 23 is known as fumi no hi (ふみの日), day of letter of month of letter. I like to receive letters, and I used to write letters, but these days I seldom write letters because of the convenience of emails.
How about you?
