If you walk around parks in Japan during the <i>hanami</i> season, you can find people enjoying the blossoms from underneath and around the trees at all times of day with bento lunches and drinks (even beer and sake). It's a great example of enjoying life's fleeting moments of beauty. You can never be sure when the next rain will fall and wash away the blossoms in full bloom - so don't wait, plan your cherry blossom viewing now!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge3cMtBzQomMch_etHVJfhBWEGyh6tcGThlnNdkDnOtla3XE6PIw8ZfD0gS6PqTd0PWokt3sB7Wu5cfm7sNv73bv4eWnUAUuWYE8n_hAtpVBGvH1hk0Au3pN54i1Eeq6Du6Kho2M-oEloO/s800/ohanami_group.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="688" data-original-width="800" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge3cMtBzQomMch_etHVJfhBWEGyh6tcGThlnNdkDnOtla3XE6PIw8ZfD0gS6PqTd0PWokt3sB7Wu5cfm7sNv73bv4eWnUAUuWYE8n_hAtpVBGvH1hk0Au3pN54i1Eeq6Du6Kho2M-oEloO/s320/ohanami_group.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">In NYC, the blossoms generally start blooming at the end of March, peaking at mid April, and the last of the blossoms tapering off in May. This year has been warmer than usual, so everything may happen a little sooner than previous years. The Central Park Conservancy also debuted their cherry blossom tracker this year, so it will make it easier for us to determine when to go!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">You can follow along with us as we check the state of the blossoms on these sites:</div><div style="text-align: left;">Central Park Cherry Blossom<u> <a href="https://www.centralparknyc.org/cherry-blossoms" target="_blank">Tracker</a></u></div><div style="text-align: left;">Brooklyn Botanic Garden<u> <a href="https://www.bbg.org/collections/cherries" target="_blank">cherries</a></u></div><div style="text-align: left;">Branch Brook Park<u> <a href="https://www.newarkhappening.com/cherry-blossom-festival/" target="_blank">events</a></u></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0465/2482/5758/files/IMG_8483_480x480.jpg?v=1643667290" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="315" height="358" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0465/2482/5758/files/IMG_8483_480x480.jpg?v=1643667290" width="235" /></a><a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0465/2482/5758/files/trial_480x480.jpg?v=1623703732" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="320" height="357" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0465/2482/5758/files/trial_480x480.jpg?v=1623703732" width="238" /></a><br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;">We have many new items with the Cherry Blossom design, as well others for the spring time. If you plan on attending any festivals in the spring we suggest to start preparing now. Be one of the first to take a look at our new yukata, cotton kimono, designs for 2023.</div><br />Vintage kimonos are very special and can be worn for a number of occasions, including the Cherry Blossom Festival. When you come to our shop we can help you coordinate a complete outfit for your outing.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>With many Cherry Blossom Festivals happening throughout the spring, it's more opportunities to wear kimono. Remember that we carry kimonos for everyone and every size. Stop by or make an appointment to take a look!<br /><br />

When we grow up, many of us want something that can mimic that physical feeling of security. Like when a loved one isn’t there to wrap their arms around you, wearing a piece of their clothing in their place to imagine that they are there - that type of security. Kimono are great for that because they are meant to be wrapped around the body like a loving embrace to fit simply but securely.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.68; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I started living in Japan, my mom briefly mentioned how she’d love to have a kimono for around the house. I searched through 100s of racks of fabric in as many tones and patterns at different second hand stores. I was able to find one for her Mother’s Day present one year and has worn them every summer since. Finding a gift for other occasions was made easier because I knew I could get her a simple <a href="https://thekimonohouse.com/collections/obis-sashes" target="_blank">obi belt</a> to match for different occasions, or even slowly build up the <a href="https://thekimonohouse.com/collections/kimono-items" target="_blank">accessories</a>, like <a href="https://thekimonohouse.com/collections/kimono-footwear?sort_by=title-ascending" target="_blank">sandals</a>, so she could wear it outside for an event. Every time I visit, she tells me how she can think of me when she wears it and how much she loves it. In fact, she will be able to wear it for many years to come because of the high quality material it is made from - I realize more and more how perfect a gift it was!</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.68; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For everyday home wear, we suggest a <a href="https://thekimonohouse.com/collections/womens-yukata-casual-kimono" target="_blank">cotton kimono</a> - like the one I got my mom. It is easier to maintain and clean the daily dirt. But for something to wear after a shower or bath, the pure silk kimono feel as luxurious as they look. Just remember to hang it up to air it out after wearing and you can lengthen the time between dry cleanings. </span></p><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our hand-selected and imported pure silk kimono are luxurious on the skin and beautiful to wear. <br /></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Browse our <a href="https://thekimonohouse.com/collections/vintage-kimonos" target="_blank">vintage</a> selection of hand painted silk kimono for a piece as unique as the person who raised you.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhNGyi5QkInLJQID52pdM4qgZqqP3fCGv1hHLkr84dHPy9CpW8tJ4sZ7618ccQUtiOimOjXcV1FOCxqJaIV93vt84zxkag4JvSGegOOYKz4uDDGgbDcw5cxk9hADX2I4CUCLm4iU2l2M_ipRDurw7l3EVKgJRzxblUvV4TWY0R3iMN1yRNxL1SvJhBL" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="821" data-original-width="831" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhNGyi5QkInLJQID52pdM4qgZqqP3fCGv1hHLkr84dHPy9CpW8tJ4sZ7618ccQUtiOimOjXcV1FOCxqJaIV93vt84zxkag4JvSGegOOYKz4uDDGgbDcw5cxk9hADX2I4CUCLm4iU2l2M_ipRDurw7l3EVKgJRzxblUvV4TWY0R3iMN1yRNxL1SvJhBL" width="243" /></a></div></span></span><br /></span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">

Not too long ago, I read a nature magazine article that talked about the interaction between birds and trees spring. Somehow, the movement and singing of birds starts the budding processes in trees! So bird song is not only a sign for animals and humans that spring is coming soon and we should prepare accordingly, but also for trees.</div><div><br /></div><div>Did the pink and white blossoms of cherry trees come to mind when you first started hearing their melodies? It certainly did for us, because Spring = Cherry Blossom viewing season. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiCSNTzdWbzhNZTDv2MvhjhEBZIAoyO_CMSbZriEiHZBaLQ8uBfS6VHIELpcY0AwRx_IARErZlQ_RMbyTYdvv6MawI-6YjTyZlLJZSNAa8WKx-7oOpOrM4TkYGxH14xLy1CxjjrctWyG5MagzvoVfRybItb7vbcS3zB6XG_45WTMvjK55Fs5AZ0R29J" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="688" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiCSNTzdWbzhNZTDv2MvhjhEBZIAoyO_CMSbZriEiHZBaLQ8uBfS6VHIELpcY0AwRx_IARErZlQ_RMbyTYdvv6MawI-6YjTyZlLJZSNAa8WKx-7oOpOrM4TkYGxH14xLy1CxjjrctWyG5MagzvoVfRybItb7vbcS3zB6XG_45WTMvjK55Fs5AZ0R29J" width="279" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>We've already started the conversation with friends about dates for photoshoots in kimono or a picnic under the beautiful blossoms. If you visit Japan in Spring, every fine weather day - even for a rainy forecast! - you will see people populating the parks having bento, drinks, and unfettered conversation. Sometimes it is hard to choose where we want to go because there are so many sites in bloom during the season. But the key is to not focus on where you go but just making a plan to go somewhere and enjoy the time together with friends! Some notable places in New York City are Roosevelt Island and <a href="https://www.bbg.org/collections/cherries" target="_blank">Brooklyn Botanic Garden</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxcJGa4fi9RdjBYkBZDFjPfjCjnsGCN9DFZlk8vGilS8Q7mA5WIMsXvPwobB-C9BV2kSyGjOADT7SxL-EecRNoxlhuWU5KvhXqQLwqu___E84Yn2BK4f0hJps-wJGHyQYi0TsR-_mcx9ufiBcN-b28RrlL7j7A8M8M8A5OBtU5CBRyFgAh6dH7-Sq-/s512/8A56AAAF-5760-4296-8912-0B24BC557A38.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="341" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxcJGa4fi9RdjBYkBZDFjPfjCjnsGCN9DFZlk8vGilS8Q7mA5WIMsXvPwobB-C9BV2kSyGjOADT7SxL-EecRNoxlhuWU5KvhXqQLwqu___E84Yn2BK4f0hJps-wJGHyQYi0TsR-_mcx9ufiBcN-b28RrlL7j7A8M8M8A5OBtU5CBRyFgAh6dH7-Sq-/w266-h400/8A56AAAF-5760-4296-8912-0B24BC557A38.jpeg" width="266" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Some people who really want to get into the Japanese spirit of </span><i style="text-align: left;">hanami</i><span style="text-align: left;"> (flower viewing) even wear kimono or yukata on their outing.

But only autumn is associated with doing so many things. In addition to the milestone celebrations for 3, 5, and 7 year olds in <a href="https://www.japanvisitor.com/japanese-festivals/shichi-go-san" target="_blank">November</a>, the top <a href=" https://ranking.net/rankings/autumn-toieba" target="_blank">five</a> associations for fall this year were: Delicious Fall 食欲の秋 (shokuyoku no aki), Sports Fall スポーツの秋 (spotsu no aki), Artwork Fall 芸術の秋 (geijutsu no aki), Reading Fall 読書の秋 (dokusho no aki), and of course Fall Foliage 紅葉の秋 (momiji no aki). <br /></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span> </span>But we think that one more should be mentioned. The falling temperature in autumn makes us wear warmer layers - this is perfect for kimono! Many people are enchanted by spring’s cherry blossoms and take the opportunity to wear kimono and spend time with the trees for a photoshoot.

For us, there are a few things: cooling weather, apple picking, and school starting. Thankfully, covid calmed down enough in the US to have in person goodbyes before saying hello to 2021 campus life. This school year, hopefully we can look forward to more school gatherings and colorful performances. <div><span> </span>Are you looking for a store to supply your Japan Club's wardrobe, to buy a back to school gift for yourself or a new college student who loves Japan? Look no further! Kimono House has everything from festival wear, like <i>happi</i><i>,</i> to lounge wear, like our cotton kimono robes. Be it on-campus or off, for an event or just relaxing, one of the most comfortable and easy to wear items is a cotton kimono robe. We have them in different patterns, lengths, and sizes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bh0eTWtUEqU/YS1gPvRiqYI/AAAAAAAAMFI/Nhi0Zxtrx3UYruKs2MeboWN5QbOq3s6eQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/7884E0A0-5DFC-47F0-9A2B-76A8ACB4B9B0.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bh0eTWtUEqU/YS1gPvRiqYI/AAAAAAAAMFI/Nhi0Zxtrx3UYruKs2MeboWN5QbOq3s6eQCLcBGAsYHQ/w150-h200/7884E0A0-5DFC-47F0-9A2B-76A8ACB4B9B0.jpeg" width="150" /></a> <a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MNdspy_DqdM/YS1gPHdvDBI/AAAAAAAAMFE/8L1r9jhEXXMbNKArer02DakAXxQiF0Z-ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/752FF047-5350-426C-B5BB-40CACF3AFB81.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MNdspy_DqdM/YS1gPHdvDBI/AAAAAAAAMFE/8L1r9jhEXXMbNKArer02DakAXxQiF0Z-ACLcBGAsYHQ/w150-h200/752FF047-5350-426C-B5BB-40CACF3AFB81.jpeg" width="150" /></a> <a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qoaqWdkjYho/YS1eVsg_xBI/AAAAAAAAME8/DlgypcB2AeE5ccPojNg2PFnje2DSQTeNQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1319/3ECCA2E7-CD9D-4006-8739-33DAF9A6EE2C.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1319" data-original-width="935" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qoaqWdkjYho/YS1eVsg_xBI/AAAAAAAAME8/DlgypcB2AeE5ccPojNg2PFnje2DSQTeNQCLcBGAsYHQ/w142-h200/3ECCA2E7-CD9D-4006-8739-33DAF9A6EE2C.jpeg" width="142" /></a></div><br /></div><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d09HCtUGvpk/YS1cHWM8KTI/AAAAAAAAMEQ/nWK21sZ0zkECgDQu6Vq_PF4Z6FZv5tL3gCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/C3DE0430-0F24-4EF9-B64E-79D8E269C68F.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1245" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d09HCtUGvpk/YS1cHWM8KTI/AAAAAAAAMEQ/nWK21sZ0zkECgDQu6Vq_PF4Z6FZv5tL3gCLcBGAsYHQ/w122-h200/C3DE0430-0F24-4EF9-B64E-79D8E269C68F.jpeg" width="122" /></a> <a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k5z88yR4Mc4/YS1gP-fr8zI/AAAAAAAAMFM/C7ZmB8ZvhgkAw6dwiXZEKrcCYMVJbzX1ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/71A13CF5-A37C-48ED-AE25-6208DF01AB49.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k5z88yR4Mc4/YS1gP-fr8zI/AAAAAAAAMFM/C7ZmB8ZvhgkAw6dwiXZEKrcCYMVJbzX1ACLcBGAsYHQ/w150-h200/71A13CF5-A37C-48ED-AE25-6208DF01AB49.jpeg" width="150" /></a></div><div><div><br /><div><div><span> </span>Visit our <a href="https://thekimonohouse.com/collections" target="_blank">website</a> to see a sampling of our offerings or call for a consultation.<p style="text-align: center;">

So there is a common saying describing the first three months of the year: "Ichigetsu inuru, nigetsu nigeru, sangetsu saru" (<span>一月往ぬる二月逃げる三月去る</span>). It means "January passes by, February runs away, and March leaves". It feels like February did just that, and suddenly March is imminent! <div><span> One of the many events is on March 3, Hina Matsuri <span>ひな祭り</span>(Girl's Day/Doll Festival). This day is to celebrate the girls and women in the home by displaying a set of dolls in </span>Heian dress<span> (Hina Dolls, hina ningyo <span>雛人形</span>) and special tri-colored diamond-shaped mochi </span>offerings (hishi mochi <span>菱餅</span>). Last month we wrote on Setsubun and how it is celebrated the day before the first day of spring on the old calendar. The display of the family's Hina Dolls starts on the first day of spring <span style="font-family: inherit;">(risshun <span>立春</span>) and </span>strictly <span style="font-family: inherit;">ends on March 3 - if they are not taken down it is said that the daughter might have a late marriage! But in reality, once they have served their purpose, the precious dolls need to be protected from Japan's high humidity so they are put away until next spring. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span> Below are some colorfully fun foods traditionally eaten on the day.</span><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ESactJ3J2Fc/YDq60A6ISCI/AAAAAAAALSo/OTTCVvb02wgcs6NWa_yLbQgAYtRiNLoSACLcBGAsYHQ/s756/hinamatsuri_hishimochi.png.png" style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="756" height="122" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ESactJ3J2Fc/YDq60A6ISCI/AAAAAAAALSo/OTTCVvb02wgcs6NWa_yLbQgAYtRiNLoSACLcBGAsYHQ/w127-h122/hinamatsuri_hishimochi.png.png" width="127" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YMuZGemnUKo/YDq6000xI9I/AAAAAAAALSw/WoyA_sbBCX0ZA3esXrfq4wWClKJf2PltACLcBGAsYHQ/s721/sweets_sansyoku_dango.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="686" data-original-width="721" height="190" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YMuZGemnUKo/YDq6000xI9I/AAAAAAAALSw/WoyA_sbBCX0ZA3esXrfq4wWClKJf2PltACLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h190/sweets_sansyoku_dango.png" width="200" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ghcPh9nhOFo/YDq60EqU8aI/AAAAAAAALSg/4vKqScgLcSgPtKHAB80TYBFDR4S_vd-jACLcBGAsYHQ/s574/food_chirashizushi.png" style="font-family: inherit; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="491" data-original-width="574" height="171" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ghcPh9nhOFo/YDq60EqU8aI/AAAAAAAALSg/4vKqScgLcSgPtKHAB80TYBFDR4S_vd-jACLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h171/food_chirashizushi.png" width="200" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1z9tvICOvxs/YDq60FIHGWI/AAAAAAAALSk/q3d83FnhPsYrejbnVsA1GTQDcWOmxE1aQCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/food_sushi_temari.png" style="font-family: inherit; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="767" data-original-width="800" height="192" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1z9tvICOvxs/YDq60FIHGWI/AAAAAAAALSk/q3d83FnhPsYrejbnVsA1GTQDcWOmxE1aQCLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h192/food_sushi_temari.png" width="200" /></a></div><br /><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span> </span><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KhiEcuYOh3Y/YDq57kLs6dI/AAAAAAAALSY/dhN7pksIJ8MKfOoGfu-JlacNIMjwXI0uACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/EF56F66F-FED5-4BC2-8390-36E497A0122D.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1342" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KhiEcuYOh3Y/YDq57kLs6dI/AAAAAAAALSY/dhN7pksIJ8MKfOoGfu-JlacNIMjwXI0uACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/EF56F66F-FED5-4BC2-8390-36E497A0122D.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Stop by to see our shop's own petite Hina Doll display!</div><span><br /></span></div><div><div><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div style="text-align: left;">Kimono House is conveniently located in SoHo between Houston and Prince Streets on Thompson.</div><br />

Hopefully, the recent snow storm will be the last of this season and we can start looking forward to warmer days. According to the old Japanese calendar, sometime between February 2 to 4 is an important seasonal division, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Setsubun (節分)</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. This year, it happens to fall on the same day as Groundhog Day. While the two holidays both concern spring, one cannot be equated with the other. Meaning ‘seasonal せつ division ぶん’, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">setsubun</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> technically happens four times a year but it also signified the new year in the lunar calendar. So it has popularly come to only refer to the day before the first day of spring.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vs6hHNazZvI/YBmseFHnIFI/AAAAAAAALQw/q8z8NqUYvP8TTG99BA65CqCpOYQ8VivrgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2016/IMG_7163.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2016" data-original-width="1512" height="446" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vs6hHNazZvI/YBmseFHnIFI/AAAAAAAALQw/q8z8NqUYvP8TTG99BA65CqCpOYQ8VivrgCLcBGAsYHQ/w335-h446/IMG_7163.jpg" width="335" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p>“鬼は外!福は内!(Oni wa soto!

Elsewhere, a nearby temple waves a fire above visitors to bless visitors their coming year with lucky sparks. At home, families gather to say, “Demons, get out! Fortune, come in!” while throwing beans out the front door and throughout the house. After the excitement, everyone who is able eats the number of beans corresponding to their age, plus one year. For those of us who have more than a handful of beans to eat, drinking them as tea works as an acceptable charm. With these, your house and body have been exorcised of evil spirits (鬼 </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">oni) </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">for the new year. </span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In addition to roasted soybeans, the practice of eating </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ehomaki</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, or a Lucky Direction Roll, has also grown in popularity. You can find these thick, uncut sushi rolls at supermarkets and convenience stores across Japan. In New York City, there are several Japanese grocery stores that are making them limited to today, February 2. For those of you who would like to try this tradition for yourself, follow these directions: Step 1: sport your </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">kimono</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> or </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">hakama</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> from the Kimono House to set the scene, 2. face this year’s lucky direction of South South East with your </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ehomaki</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, 3. keep silent until you finish the whole roll (or your luck will flee!), and 4. think of your wish for the year while you are silently eating. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Happy bean throwing and silent eating!</span></p></span><p> </p>Kimono Househttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12244331199090825969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989614251945632863.post-35635828313770980242021-01-11T14:38:00.005-05:002021-02-27T17:27:51.958-05:00Coming of Age in Japan<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-ea9acb9c-7fff-9c56-841b-068fe9afadf0"><h1 style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><br /></h1><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Happy New Year to all!

People who have moved away from home for work take this time to go back to their family homes to spend December 31 to January 4 with their families. This year, because of covid-19, many people were not able to do this out of respect for their families’ well being. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Right on the heels of the New Year's celebrations comes another federal holiday falling on the second Monday of January: </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Seijin no Hi (成人の日)</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, or Coming of Age Day. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the US, when you turn 18, you are a legal adult, but must wait 3 years to legally consume alcohol. In Japan, there is only one age, 20. However, though the federal holiday is January 11, it doesn’t mean that the 20 year olds throughout Japan celebrate the same day. Each area wants the largest number of attendees as possible, so the day can differ depending on the area. For example, Niigata, near the Japan Sea, or Akita, in the north. These regions have uncooperative weather in January, so they hold their ceremonies in March and August, respectively. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On the day, everyone who turned 20 the year before gets dressed up and goes out to celebrate - unfortunately, those turning 20 after the ceremony, must wait until after their birthday to celebrate with alcohol in public. On that note, August in Akita must be one big party month with the 20 year olds and festival goers abound!</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And what do many wear to their coming of age ceremony? There is not one answer to that.

However, because this is a special day, most mark the occasion by dressing up and doing a photoshoot in </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">furisode</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. On the other hand, men commonly wear navy or black suits that were most likely purchased with their future job search in mind. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Understanding a </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">furisode</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> as a very formal kimono, it is natural to assume that men would dress in a similar fashion.

years in a child's life. "Shichi" meaning 7, "go" meaning 5, and "san" meaning 3, are the hallmark years of childhood. In Japan, Shichigosan is normally celebrated in November. The Japan Society will be hosting ceremonies for the event October 19th and 20th. This does not limit you to celebrating Shichigosan on those days only. Kimono House has been offering Shichigosan services for over twenty years!<br />
