[ Japan is in the kitchen, finishing up the decoration by placing some salmon roe on the rice. He looks quite happy at his work ]

Today is March 3rd, and in my country, it is a day to celebrate girls and to pray for their healthy growth. I would have liked to put up the dolls for it too....but it is a bit big and complicated to put up. I have instead made some food that we usually make on this day- Chirashi-Zushi [ points to a plate ] and a desert, Hishimochi [ points to another plate ]. If any would like some, especially a girl, please do come and take some.

[ the video turns on with Japan surprisingly outside the mansion. he seems to be having difficulty walking a bit while carrying the long piece of bamboo which is definitely taller than him ]

I am glad the vendor's had these..

[ he stops in front of the entrance to the Mansion and sticks the bamboo next to the door. After making sure it stays upright, he notices the camera on and turns towards it ]

Ah, I realize we are right in the middle of a...uncomfortable event, but I did want to celebrate this. Today is Tanabata, the day when Orihime and Hikoboshi are allowed to cross the Milky Way and meet each other. In my country, we celebrate this day by writing our wishes on a piece of paper and hanging them on this bamboo. If anyone would like to join in on this celebration, please do. I will leave the papers next to the bamboo.

[ he sets down a stack of vertically long paper next to the bamboo, and bows to the camera before switching it off ]

April already.... It is too bad there are no sakuras or umes in this garden. A hanami would have been quite nice right now, during this...slightly busy time. With this warm weather, I am sure they would have bloomed nicely and looked beautiful. It is dissapointing to miss a seasonal event or miss watching the sakura petals fall, but I suppose it cannot be helped.

Perhaps, instead of a hanami, a picnic would do. I could make some hanami dango, and maybe have some sake as well....
