I took the lesson of the tea ceremony tonight.
Japanese unbaked sweets was so delicious
ふきのとう／a butterbur scape
ふきのとう(a butterbur scape) is the spring messenger who shows up without waiting for a thaw.
It is the wild grass which comes out earliest in spring.
And the name of today's sweets was connected with the New Year.
In Japan, the new year is called Hatsuharu(初春) or Shinsyun(新春).
'初' means the first time, '新' is new..
And '春' is spring
Although it continues cold in Japan, my heart got warm
