September is kugatsu (9月 or 九月) the ninth month or nagatsuki (長月) the long month.
On the first day of the month I make it a rule to change the plants, rice, and salt of the house shrine called kamidana (神棚) and visit the nearby shrine to thank for the past month and ask for this month.
It was cloudy at first but rained heavily when I visited the shrine and decided to bring a big umbrella.
Today is nihyakutoka (二百十日), 210 days since risshun (立春), the first day of spring. It is the season of typhoon.
Today is the anniversary of the Great Earthquake in Kanto which happened in 1923 and lost 105,000 lives.
Today is the Disaster Prevention Day. There were some training on the train.
