A Bit Of Wednesday Workshop

Question:What's your go-to method for managing hay fever symptoms during spring?

Response:

I can't stop my runny nose because of hay fever, and my eyes feel itchy too. I think it's because my body is really sensitive to seasonal changes. I'm wearing a mask and pollen protection goggles. 

The weather forecast said there will be yellow dust in the air, so I’ll dry my laundry indoors.

Question:What's a cherished spring memory from your childhood?

Response:

Okay, speaking of my cherished spring memory...

What comes to mind is the memory of playing in the rice field before planting rice. When I was a student in elementary school, during spring holidays I went to the

place where my grandfather and grandmother lived.

A rural area with rice fields.The rice field became a playground for children before planting.

We played for long hours with friends there.It’s an impressive memory from childhood. Sometimes my friends even fell into the manure pit. ha ha

Question: If you could invite any historical figure to a ohanami picnic, who would it be, and why?

Response:

I want to see and talk with Oda Nobunaga.

Last month I went to Gifu Prefecture,

There was a hill about 400 meters high.

I like Oda Nobunaga, and I’d like to hear about his regrets.

Because he was assassinated by one of his retainers.

I want to ask him what he was thinking at that moment—what ambitions or regrets he had.

I really want to meet and talk with him.

Question:What’s a traditional remedy or practice from your culture that you find effective?

Response:

I can’t talk about anything too technical, but I’ve heard that YOMOGI:mugwort was traditionally used in 湿布：poultices.

I also like yomogi rice dumplings.

I think mugwort is good for your health.
