〜Dolls Festival Day　旧暦が好き〜

Today is April 3rd.  

However, according to the old calendar, it just falls on March 3rd, that is, “上巳” or Dolls Festival Day.  As in Kyoto there still are quite a few households where these traditional events are observed according to the old calendar, I feel both intrigued and familiar with the old calendar.

今日は4月3日ですが、旧暦ではちょうど3月3日、つまり上巳の節句・雛祭りに当たります。京都では今なおこのような伝統行事は旧暦に則って祝うご家庭が多いですし、私も旧暦に興味があります。

〜Dolls Festival Day in the old calendar　今日まで飾れる〜

Today falls on March 3rd, the Dolls Festival day, in the old, lunar calendar.  It is customary to stop displaying the hina dolls on this date.  And many people in Japan follow this rule according to the new calendar, however, I always displayed them until March 3rd in the lunar calendar, so I can enjoy decorating them over a long period.  These days, however, I don’t decorate the dolls but instead, every year I display this lovely designed paper scroll with a haiku of Dolls Festival day until March 3rd in the old calendar.

今日は旧暦の3月3日で上巳の節句。旧暦3月3日まで飾れば一番長い間飾れると考えて、私は毎年、このとても可愛い意匠に仕立ててもらったひな祭りの俳句の掛け軸をその期間、旧暦の上巳の節句まで飾ることにしています。
