"Ebisu-kou festival", the festival at the beginning of winter

Ebisu-Kou festival -officially called “Ebisu Taisai” (“Taisai” is a big festival annually held)- is a festival of Ebisu shrine in Hiroshima. It is held from November 18th through 20th every year, and also known that it tells the winter has come.

Let’s take your own shopping bags with to the store!

Starting from July 1st, 2020, plastic bags has become charged at stores.   Before that, plastic bags were provided for free when you buy things in most of the stores such as convenience stores and drug stores in Japan. This change, which could sound more natural for those living in other countries, may greatly affect the lifestyle of Japanese people. Now, to save the global environment, take your reusable shopping bags with you when you go out for shopping. In Japan, for a long time, a large cloth called “furoshiki” has also been used to carry things. It is very convenient and also substituted for the shopping bags. When not in use, you can fold it like a handkerchief and carry it around; when you use it, you tie its four corners and use it as a bag. How about trying one and taking advantage of old Japanese wisdom?
