2015.1.6

It was cloudy but became rain.

This is the last day of my winter holiday and I stayed home all day long.
I felt glad to have visited the Seven Lucky Gods yesterday when it was very fine and rather warm.

Today is shokan (小寒), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節季), the 24 solar terms.  The last one was toji (冬至) on December 22, and the next one is taikan or daikan (大寒) on January 20.
Shokan literally means small cold.  A month from now on is the coldest time of the year.
