It is a national holiday called shunbun no hi (春分の日), Vernal Equinox Day.
It was slightly raining in the morning but became fine in the afternoon, and windy and cloudy in the evening.
I am not sure when it was exactly, but I found a very interesting course to learn Japanese traditional culture extensively and asked for the brochure. Recently they sent me an email about the free trial lesson at Yokohama branch and I attended today.
It was interesting, but one year course of Wednesday morning seems difficult to complete if you have a full time job.
There I made a friend and decided to have lunch together. The restaurant I wanted to go was not available and we went to a Japanese style resraurant nearby. We were very lucky to be able to enter soon because there were so many waiting lines at other places. We had a square meal and went to have tea at the different place. We enjoyed talking a lot and had a good time.
After saying good-bye I went to banks and went to Shinagawa to buy train tickets for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
It is the full moon today though I could not see it here. They say it's been 19 years when the fullmoon falls on the Vernal Equinox Day. Last time was 2000 and it was at the millenium. This year we have the change of Japanese name of era. It seems to happen at the time of change.
There was an announcement of blooming cherry blossoms officially which is rather earlier than usual.
The baseball player Ichiro decided to retire.
There will be many changes.
What do you want to change?
