8月23日(hachigatsu nijyusan nichi): August 23

Today is shosho (処暑), one of nijyushisekki(二十四節季), the 24 solar terms. The last one was risshu (立秋) on August 8 and the next one is hakuro (白露) on September 8. It is the time when the heat is going to leave.

I went to the Ministry of the Environment today. I was surprised to see the room. It was dark because the lights were off to save energy.
I remember the four word idiom sossen suihan (率先垂範), which means example by leadership.
