HAPPY MIDSUMMER

©️elicamiwa

It is Summer Solstice.

Do you celebrate, and how?

Japanese June is quite rainy, very different from Europe and USA.
Not much sun, yet very very humid.
Which prevents us from celebrate the day as a festival.
However, at Ise ([ise]), Wakayama prefecture, where AmaTeras [amateras] the Goddess of the Sun is worshiped, holds an important festival on the sea, and make a prayer to the rising sun.
