what we do on TOJI:winter solstice

Christmas is almost here and Tokyo's illuminated for the season.
December is filled with events, both foreign and japanese traditions.

This year, this year's TOJI(冬至) pronounced TOH-JI, is today.
The tradition is originated from lunar calendar from China, but
it has been modified to suit gregorian calendar hence the date of TOJI in Japan
differs from that of China.

There are lots of things we do without knowing the exact reason on such a day.
For TOJI, we take YUZU bath, and eat KABOCHA(japanese pumpkin/more like acorn squash).

So you see a lot of YUZU today at grocery stores in Japan!
