SUMMARY:The Eighty-Eighth Night 八十八夜　はちじゅうはちや
DESCRIPTION:The Eighty-Eighth Night of Traditional Chinese Calendar : Spring\nAccording to the old Chinese solar calendar this is one of the last nights that there could still be frost. So farmers start sowing their seeds and harvesting tea after this date, May 2nd. It is also considered an auspicious night for picking tea. The tea picked on this day is considered to be fine, and it is said that if you drink tea on this day, you will live longer. In the tea production areas of Iruma City, Saitama Prefecture, Sayama City , Shizuoka Prefecture, and Uji City , Kyoto Prefecture, in addition to new-tea services, events such as hand-made tea demonstrations and tea-picking demonstrations are also held.\nReferences\nIn Japanese\nhttps://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/八十八夜 ( https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/八十八夜 )\nhttps://kotobank.jp/word/八十八夜-114783 ( https://kotobank.jp/word/八十八夜-114783 )\nImage thanks to vera46 @ WikiMedia Commons ( https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ファイル:Tea_picking_01.jpg )\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nrakuten_design="slide";rakuten_affiliateId="194c1902.4e292998.194c1903.70e7fb9d";rakuten_items="ctsmatch";rakuten_genreId="0";rakuten_size="728x200";rakuten_target="_blank";rakuten_theme="gray";rakuten_border="on";rakuten_auto_mode="off";rakuten_genre_title="off";rakuten_recommend="on";rakuten_ts="1584940527191";\nBuy me a coffee, or two, or three ;-DThanks you for your support!Click Here for PayPal.me\n
