2020.7.1

A new month has started. July is shichigatsu (七月 or7月), the seventh month or fumizuki (文月) , letter month in Japanese.

It was slightly raining and very windy in the morning and is heavily raining at night.
Before getting on a train I visited the nearby shrine as a ritual of the first day of the month.

Today is hangesho (半夏生), which is one of the 72 seasonal terms. It is a time when the herb called hangesho appears. This kind of time frame is very important for agriculture. By this time planting rice should be finished.

Today is the day of snake which is deeply related with money, and ichiryumanbaibi(一粒万倍日) when one grain becomes 10000 times. So it is a good day to start something related money or investment.

At office I had a meeting from 11 am. I thought it would be about an hour long, but it lasted for three hours and a half without having a break.

I hope to have a better half of 2020.
