Happy Thanksgiving!
The fourth Thursday of November in the USA is a national holiday called Thanksgiving. They have a big Turkey Dinner. Usually they have 4 days weekend. Next day is called Black Friday and so many people go shopping. To my surprise they go shopping from very early morning such as 5 AM. It was unbelievable for me. For the next one month is a good time for shopping.
In Japan there is no such holiday setting. Nowadays we have some happy Monday system and some three day weekend but never have a holiday on Thursday to have four day weekend.
After training I went to tea lesson. There was nobody besides me again, and I made tea for myself again. Today I used a tall bowl called tsutsu jawan (筒茶碗), which should be dealt with different way as the regular bowl. The name of today's sweet was koro gaki (ころ柿), dried persimmon, covered with white powder. My master gave me some umeboshi (梅干し) sour plum which she made two years ago and other stuff.
