2023.6.1

A new month has started. June is rokugatsu（６月 or 六月）in Japanese.

It is the time for changing clothings which is called koromogae（衣替え）.

 I changed the plant, salt, and rice of the inhouse shrine, and visited the nearby shrine as rituals of the first day of the month.

There was a new staff from today.

After work I went to the nearest post office which is open until 7 PM.

It was a rainy day.

I went to a nearby shrine for the 1st day ritual and attended laugh yoga before starting work. There were many things to do. To my shock the power of PC suddenly became off. I hope it will be OK soon.

October is jugatsu (十月), the 10th month or kannaduki (神無月) , literally "Gods without month" in most part of Japan, but kamiariduki(神在月) , literally "Gods exist month" in Izumo area. That is all the gods gather in Izumo this month to discuss.

It was fine and hot today.
I went to the nearby shrine before getting on a train.
