A new month has started. October is jugatsu (十月) in Japanese.
By lunar calendar it is kannazuki (神無月) which means month without gods in most part of Japan and kamiarizuki (神在月) which means month with gods in Izumo (出雲) area.
They say there are 8 million gods in Japan and they get together to discuss in Izumo in this month. Therefore there is no god in other area.
The big typhoon No.24 left Japan having caused much damages here and there. Because of these damages there were many cancellations and delays for transportation. My trains also delayed and I got to the office later than usual.
The weather was very fine and hot like summer, which is called taifu ikka (台風一過).
This morning I visited two shrines before going to the office which is called otsuitachimairi (お朔日詣り) and one of my rituals of the first day of the month.
The new NHK morning drama has begun.
