Ichigo-Ichie

I'm a Japanese woman living in Nara. This blog tells you how to be a "YAMATONADESHIKO". "Yamatonadeshiko" means an ideal Japanese lady who is intelligent, sophisticated and thoughtful. I learn Sado-Japanese traditional tea celemony and Ikebana-Japanese traditional flower arrangement. I introduce about Japan through my experiences. So you can get to know more about Japanese culture such as Sado,Ikebana, customs and seasonal events, especially the ones in Nara.

"Higan"; the equinox

March 21st is the spring equinox.
Most Japanese visit grave and pray to a family Buddhist altar.

But we didn't do that because we had to prepare for granma's funeral.
And relatives and neighbors came to see her continuously from yesterday.
We have an all‐night watch, tomorrow.
