◎ The winter solstice is coming ◎

This year, I was conscious of “stopping.”
Stop → wait → quiet time → get ready.
I feel like I received something important.

The weekend is the winter solstice.
The winter solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year.
From that day on, the power of the sun will become stronger again.

Therefore, it has transcended countries and cultures and has been around since ancient times.
The customs of rebirth, beginning, and prayer remain.

In Japan, people take a bath in yuzu bath, eat pumpkin,
“Ichiyōraifuku” celebrates the return of the sun.

In Europe (Northern Europe, Celts), Yule Festival.
Celebrating the rebirth of the sun god, we light a fire to welcome the “resurrection of light.”
It’s a day to make wishes.

In Central and South America (Maya and Inca),
A ceremony was held to celebrate the resurrection of the sun.
Pledges have been made for the future.

We are in Nara
(Future Hospital Series) We will hold a “Preliminary Celebration Festival”.
Celebrate the wishes you want to make in the future as things that have already come true,
We will receive your prayers and plant cherry blossoms.

The moment when the sun reaches its southernmost point in the year,
The winter solstice is December 22nd at 12:03am.
At that time, keep warm
Feeling happy and grateful that my wish has come true,
I hope you have a wonderful time!
