In the Kyōto hanamachi (花街) geiko and maiko call upon ochaya and shishōtaku (師匠宅) to deliver gifts to those that have taught and supported them during the year thus far.

Mid-summer, like early winter, is a time of giving thanks and strengthening bonds.

🌾GIFT TO THE GODS✨

The 1st day of the 8th month in the traditional calendar is known as 'Hachigatsu sakujitsu', shortened to 'Hassaku' (八朔).
At this time farmers would make offerings of the first ripe rice to the gods, and gradually it became a time of gift giving.

#Fragrances awaken memories.👃

When I reflect on my hometown, the scent of the #seabreeze resurfaces, and the aroma of #ripe_grapefruits brings back the image of my mother from the bygone days.
What's the nostalgic scent for you?

Cherish your beautiful memories and have a great day 🧚

　
#香り は思い出を呼び醒まします👃

故郷を振り返るとき #潮風 の香りが蘇り、#八朔 の香りは在りし日の母の姿を思い出させてくれます
あなたの懐かしい香りは何でしょうか？

美しき思い出を大切に🧚良い1日をお過ごし下さい
