pandemic. An increasing number of people
have decided to enjoy camping near theirhomes, regardless of whether they are an outdoor or indoor type. Some people have even chosen to stay athome and practice “Dan-Sha-Ri (断捨離)”, meaning minimalism or simple living. “Dan” means to give up
unnecessary things, “Sha” means to throw them away, and “Ri” means to let them be gone. By doing “DanSha-Ri”, you can clean your room as well as your mind.

Children’s Day
May 5th during Golden Week is Children’s Day in Japan.

It iscalled “Tango no Sekku” in Japanese. It is the final celebration inGolden Week. It is a day set aside to respect children’spersonalities and to celebrate their happiness. It was designateda national holiday by the Japanese government in 1948.
The day is celebrated by the flying of koinobori flags and kites,
especially outside the homes of boys. The flags are made in the shape of carp fish, which look as if they areswimming when they flutter in the breeze. Because carp are known for their ability to swim upstream, they
symbolize courage and determination.
“Kashiwa Mochi” is a rice cake stuffed with red bean paste and wrapped in oak leaves which symbolize good
fortune and prosperity. It is a signature food that eaten on Children’s Day. Whether you celebrate Children’s
Day or not, you can find these sweet dumplings at grocery stores and Japanese sweets stores.
