24.01.2022 Today marks the anniversary of the establishment of the first weather station on #MtFuji in 1895. Believing that having a permanent observation point atop the m...ountain would significantly improve Japan's weather forecast, young meteorologist NONAKA Itaru created a small hut at own expense. His wife Chiyoko joined his quest and the two spent more than 80 days during winter to get accurate weather data. Their ground breaking work led to a government-funded observation thanks to the efforts of those who had followed their path.

09.01.2022 Do you have any memory?

08.01.2022 Today (September 1) is the Day of Disaster Preparedness in Japan. This day was designated to remind us of the importance of disaster preparedness; bec...ause the Great Kanto Earthquake happened on this day in 1923, and Japan is often hit by typhoons around this time of year. In Japanese schools, children learn the term o-ka-shi-mo to remember necessary evacuation behaviors in case of disaster, meaning osanai (dont push), kakenai (dont run), shaberanai (dont chat) and modoranai (dont go back), respectively. (There are several variations.) To protect yourself and the lives of people around you, incorporating the mindset of disaster preparedness into daily life is essential. The article about disaster preparedness project which the Japan Foundation conducted in the U.S. is available in Wochikochi Magazine. -Share Japan's knowledge and skills on disaster preparedness. https://www.wochikochi.jp//2019/11/disaster-preparedness-e 91 # 1923919 #Magazine # https://www.wochikochi.jp//20/10/disaster-preparedness.php

07.01.2022 Autumnal Equinox Day Shuubun no Hi () in Japan, the first day of fall. In Buddhist tradition, Equinox is the time of year where the barrier between the physical world and the spirit world is at its thinnest. Higan () starts 3 days before Equinox day and finishes 3 days after Equinox day. Many families use this Higan period to visit the graves of their loved ones as well as Bon period in Summer during which people welcome the spirits of ancestors back for a visit.

01.01.2022 Today (November 15) is Shichi-Go-San! Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3) is a festival where families with three- or seven-year-old girls or five-year-old boy...s visit a shrine to pray for the health of their children as they grow. You often see children dressed up in beautiful kimonos with their families around this season. But what makes children happy the most? It is the Chitose-ame (chitose means longevity), a long, thin, red and white candy given in a special rice paper bag which often has the design of a crane and a turtle. There is a Japanese saying tsuru wa senne, kame wa mannen, which literally means cranes live for 1,000 years and turtles 10,000 years. Thus, the combination of crane and turtle is a symbol of longevity. We hope you have a wonderful day! 1115 # 753
