All’s well …

The art marché period closed with no major troubles, only that it was quite wet for the first two days.  But today, the third and last day, it was fine pleasant.

.

And we had many visitors at the venue.

.

Moreover, it was very inspiring and exciting to talk with the artists in other fields.  I learned a lot from them.

Rainy day

Today it rained on and off almost all day, sometimes very heavily.

.

Fewer people than a normal Saturday were walking on the street that the marché venue faces.

.

And we had only few visitors today.

How things were arranged for the last time is shown here.

.

And this time I did it this way.

If you get interested in my calligraphy, please come to the venue and see it yourselves!!

Days of swamp lilies

Today falls on the 11th day from the summer solstice.  The subdivided solar term for this day and five days after that is “swamp lily”.

.

They say these symbolic seasonal periods suggest what should be done in farming.

.

I learned while surfing websites that in this case, it indicates rice planting should be done during the period from the summer solstice and this swamp lily day.
