2012.12.7

Today is taisetsu (大雪), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節季), the 24 solar terms.  The last one was shosetsu (小雪) on November 22 and the next one is toji (冬至) on December 21.  Taisetsu literally means big snow. Shosetsu literally means small snow.
There were rather big earthquakes early this morning and evening and lasted long.  Trains delayed because of the earthquakes.
