Today is a national holiday called shunbun no hi (春分の日), Vernal Equinox Day. It is one of nijushisekki (二十四節気), the 24 solar terms. The last one was keichitsu (啓蟄) on March 5 and the next one is seimei (清明) on April 4.
Shunbun is the day when the day time and nigjt times are equal. They say it is the New Year of the Universe.
Today I attended two zoom lessons of body care in the morning and visited two shrines before attending a special tour of Sumiyoshi taisha (住吉大社) shrines. This is the second time for me to attend this tour.
We got together at Tennoden (天王殿) where G20 summit was held in 2019 or so. After an hour lecture we had delicious lunch. Presentation was so impressive with the theme of cherry blossoms.
We visited Sumiyoshi taisha shrie and offered a special prayer and kagura (神楽) performance.
It was a nice visit.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
