菖蒲湯

菖蒲湯

ずっと鼻水タラタラの風邪気味Zephyrくん

少し遅れましたが菖蒲湯に浸かりました！

ずっと冷蔵庫に入っていた菖蒲ちゃん

旦那様がネギと間違えて朝ごはんに！（笑）

ごめんなさい・・わからないよねっ

でも菖蒲の葉って薬草

大丈夫大丈夫・・・！

そして災厄を払う薬草でもあります

とりあえず我が家のバイキン君たちを払って下さ～い！！

　On Children's Day, many people soak iris leaves or "shobu" in their baths.

This is because of the leaf's strong aroma.

It was believed that it removed evil spirits from the body and kept children healthy and strong.

People saw "Shobu" as a symbol of strength because it means not only iris but also martialism.

The Japanese love to take baths everyday,

but "shobu-yu" (baths with "shobu") is the special bath of this season.
