January 23rd (Thursday) is Hifumi Day, a very auspicious day!!!
We are now in the first sign of the coldest season of the year, "Daikan," and the 72nd season of the year, "Buki no Hanasaku."
In the bitter cold, the vitality of butterbur, a messenger of spring, begins to sprout underground...
The colder it gets, the more we look forward to the warmth of spring, but the more joy and hope we feel for the coming spring days.
With boundless love, gratitude and prayers to the bright spring light that shines secretly beyond the silent snowscape...
