How do you do?
This sunday is the 17th of january.
Today's flower is the sorrel's
In the language of flowers, it means "deep affection".
In this day, japan celebrates getting into one's thirties' day, this month's day's moon day and rice ball day.
"This month's day's moon day" sounds confusing, does it not? It's a line from one of Ozaki Kouyou's classic books "the golden yaksha"! "Miya-san, listen well. On the seventeenth day of january. Next year, the moon on that day will be clouded by my tears. I guarantee it."
When the moon becomes cloudy in this day, the japanese call the clouds "Kanichi clouds" in homage to the character who muttered those words!
Getting into one's thirties' day happens ten years after coming-of-age day. With the experience accumulated over all those years, people embark on a new challenge!
That's all!♪ Let today be another wonderful day!
