2014.4.1

It was fine and warm.  I went to the shrine and then to the station to see the cherry blossoms.  They were full in bloom and looked very beautiful.

A new month has started.  April is shigatsu (四月), the fourth month and uzuki (卯月) in Japanese.   It is the start of the new fiscal year and school year.

From today the consumption tax became 8%.  It's been 17 years since it became 5% from 3% in 1997.  5% was easy to calculate but it will need much effort to do it with 8% for a while.
