Today is toji (冬至), winter solstice. It is the day when the daytime is the shortest and the night time is the longest in a year.
On this day we eat pumpkin, and we take a yuzuyu (柚子湯), hot bath with yuzu fruit. If we do so, it is said we do not get a cold.
They say the new era of wind starts tomorrow.
I took an earlier train to go to health check in Tachikawa. It was rarher far. I took two gynecological examinations after a long time, one for breast cancer, the other for uterus cancer. Both exams are painful.
For lunch I bought a pumpkin dish.
I took a yuzu bath.
