This is May in Japan.
Today is January 7th.
It is a day that Japanese people eat Nanakusa-gayu.
Nanakusa-gayu means the rice porridge containing the seven chopped vegetables.
It is a Japanese custom that people eat Nanakusa-gayu for breakfast on January 7th.
Today is "Jinjitsu", it is one of the 5 sekku that mark changes in the seasons.
People believe that they can spend this one year in a perfect state of health, when they eat Nanakusa-gayu.
To tell the truth, it isn't very delicious.
But we eat it to pray for a perfect state of health.
