The first day of “Shokan” is January 5, followed by “Daikan”.
The next day after “Shokan” is “Daichan,” and these two periods are called “Kanchu.
After January 5, New Year's greetings should not be “Happy New Year” but “Kanchu-koso.
During the “kokan” period, there are many events related to the New Year.
January 7 is Jinbitsu no Sekku. It is difficult to name it, but it is the day to eat the seven herbs porridge. People pray for good health for the year by eating seven herbs porridge on New Year's Day.
There is also Kagamibiraki on January 11.
(The story of Kagamibiraki I heard at a rice shop in the neighborhood of Yutenji is also interesting, so this is a story for another place ⭐)

In the coldest season of the year, the marketplace takes on the atmosphere of spring at once as the year comes to a close.
It is still cold, but I wanted to bring you the scent of spring, so I would like to share with you a few tiny little bulbs.
They come in a wooden box so you can enjoy them as they are.
This very cold season is the most enjoyable time for flowers, so let's start with the bulbs.
We will start with the bulbs, which will be the beginning of spring flowers.
(The type of bulbs may be subject to change.)
