I have had a cold for a week or so. First I had a sore throat and now I am suffering from cough. Cough is seki (咳) in Japanese.
Today is the last day of obon (お盆), and the sending fire of Kyoto (京都) and Hakone (箱根) are known as daimonji yaki (大文字焼き) of the mountain. The fire is lit as the shape of a kanji character of dai (大), meaning big. There are other shapes too. The spirits of the ancestors are supposed to go back to the other world today.
