2014.9.1

A new month has started.  September is kugatsu (九月), its old name is nagatsuki (長月) in Japan.  Nagatsuki literally means long month; the night becomes longer.

I took a day off to attend community work and meeting.  There will be a festival of the shrine this weekend therefore we cleaned around the shrine by weeding.  It was raining but we started from 8 in the morning.  After coming home I weeded around my house too which I have not done for a very long time because we ask the gardeners to do so.

At noon we had a representative meeting for an hour or so about the festival.

September 1 is known as bosai no hi (防災の日), Day of Disaster Prevention.  91 years ago there was the big earthquake in the Kanto area.
