2013.1.6

The first Sunday of this year.  How did you spend?
I stayed at home.  I watched some TV programs.  In the morning I saw the live of dezomeshiki (出初式).  It is the official first working day ceremony of the Fire Departments.  At night the 52nd NHK's period drama (大河ドラマ: taiga dorama) started.  Its title is "Yae no Sakura (八重の桜)" which literally means Yae's Cherry Blossoms.    It is a story of Yae Yamamoto, later the wife of Jo Niijima (新島襄) who founded the Doshisha (同志社) University.  She is from Aizu, Fukushima (福島県会津).  NHK chose the place to encourage the people who suffered from the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in 2011.
