It was rainy but became fine. At night I saw the very beautiful crescent moon which is mikazuki (三日月) in Japanese.
Today is ritto (立冬), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節季), the 24 solar terms. The last one was soko (霜降) on October 23 and the next one is shosetsu (小雪) on November 22. Ritto literally means stand winter. It is the first day of winter.
There was tea lesson today. November is the new year for the tea world. We start using the new tea of the year which is called kuchi kiri (口切), opening the new jar of tea leaves.
