Can you read? It's not ``Noto-karu'', which means ``Uto-Ureru''. Today is the summer solstice.











 

 

 

 





This year's summer solstice is June 6st. This is the day when the daylight hours are the longest, from sunrise to sunset. It's bright until after 21pm, and the long twilight hours of summer are pleasant.

 

 

Noto is a small purple flower. It is also known as Utsubokusa, and it begins to wither around the summer solstice. It is also used as a Chinese herbal medicine, and can be boiled and drunk, or applied to sprained areas.
