Today is 「Children’s day」 in Japan , 5th May

It’s also called TANGO-no SEKKU.

The customs remain　where a bundle of Japanese iris and mugwort are hung under the eaves and people take a Shobuyu
(bath in which bundles of Japanese iris are floating).

We prepared Onsen bathwater with iris petals and wormwood in public and privete onsen .

That day was the day to purge noxious vapor and to pray for people’s health .

We would like to you have experience the good old customs “Seasonal events” that remain in Kyoto and in our Sumiya Kiho-an.
