It's been a week since the new year started.
January 7 is known as Nanakusa gayu (七草粥), porridge with seven spring herbs. Since we eat delicious foods at New Year's Days, we'd better take care of our stomach by eating porridge.
This morning I ate porridge with one of spring herbs, suzushuro (清白) which is the old name of daikon (大根), radish.
I went to Yotsuya to attend a secret seminar by Ms. Natsuko Yokota who is a very successful travel blogger having 1300 group members. It started at 12:30 and lasted till 6:30 pm. I learned a lot.
From tonight the new NHK's taiga drama (大河ドラマ) starts. Its title is Sego don (西郷どん) which deals with the revolutionist at the end of Edo era. This is the 57th drama.
This year is 150th anniversary year of end of Edo and beginning of Meiji era.
I am sure this year many people will travel to Kagoshima where the main character, Takamori Saigo (西郷隆盛) was from.
