Valentine's day and Hinsa festival

The day after tomorrow is Valentine's day, isn't it?
Have you prepared something for your Valentine?

Anyway here in Japan "Valentine's Day" is one of foreign and commercialized culture.
As you know here in Japan women present chocolate for men who are only a man next to you or a very important man.
On the other hands, girls like to  exchange handmade sweet for each other.

Anyway, thank to my friend J, we enjoyed our Valentine's lesson.
What is our Valentine's lesson? Yes, cooking. Through cooking we know, we try to understand Valentine's day, or --- it is a good excuse to enjoy cooking time instead of usual lessons.

 

 

And in the early March we have a traditional event, Hina festival.

March 3 is not a holiday, however girls celebrate Hina festival.

So I put some Hina dolls on the entrance hall.

 

The small pair of dolls in the center were made by my grand mother.

Anyway tomorrow is the day of Karaku, so I prepared cholate for the master to show my thankfulness, though it is early Valentine's Day.
