It could take all day to explain this calendar page.

Today is Sunday, September 2nd. On the lunar calendar, it’s 7/15 and the feast of the dead, Bon. Today is also “lottery day” (takarakuji no hi).

In the ancient calendar today is a dragon day (the seahorse is known as “dragon’s child”) and its element is earth with a positive pole (tsuchi no e).

The proverb at the bottom says “Shouji ni kodawari daiji wo wasureruna” which means “Don’t sweat the small stuff.”

I guess it didn’t take all day to explain, after all. Posted by kuri at September 02, 2001 09:42 AM
