2026.8.1

A new month has started.

August is hachigatsu(8月,八月 ) or hazuki (葉月) in Japanese.

As the first day of the month rituals, I changed plants, rice, and salt of the in-house shrine, 5 dishes of the mounted salt. I posted the good days of August calendar. And I visited the nearby shrine.

After that I went grocery shopping.

On the first day I want to start something new. So, I started using the new sandal and slippers.

At night I submitted the draft of the 215th ebook.

I should have learned online lectures about disaster prevention but did not have time.

2025.5.1

A new month has started.
May is gogatsu (5月、五月) or Satsuki (皐月) in Japanese.

As the first day of the month I changed plants, rice, salt, water of the in−house shrine.

I stayed and worked at home.

Today is hachiju hachiya (八十八夜), 88th night from the first day of spring. It is the new season of picking tea leaves. 

I attended two zoom seminars.
