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 7. Taisho literally means big heat. It was hot actually, and in the Kanto area it rained heavily depends on the places, but not here.
July 23 is known as fumi no hi (ふみの日), Day of Letter. On this day commemorative stamps are issued every year. I went to the Post Office and bought some of them.
