Hiroko’s Diary

Before I write about Hatsugama, I want to talk about what happened while I was writing the last article yesterday.   I was writing it just before I made my children sleep, it means I was in a hurry writing.   So, when my son told me that he wet his pants, I scolded him very fiercely.   I regretted after he slept.   “I’m very sorry.”

Anyway, speaking of Hatsugama, guests usually wear Kimono, but it was very windy that day, so I went my teacher’s house, the place Hatsugama was held at, wearing a suit. 

In the waiting room, we are supposed to write our names and appreciate flowers and a hanging scroll.  After that we eat “Hanabira-mochi”, a sweat especially for “Hatsugama”.   And then we wait uniil the host tell us to come in the special room for Hatsugama.

I’ll write a continuance in next blog.   I have to to to pick up my daughter now.
