時空の旅わくわく日記

昔は、田植えは梅雨時に行われていましたが、今は、田植え機の登場により本葉が2-3枚の幼い苗を植え付けることが常態となり、ゴールデンウイーク頃に行われることが多くなっています。

埼玉県や群馬県等の一部では麦作収穫後に田植えをしますので、田植えの時期は梅雨の頃になります。

Transplanting rice seedling from the seedbed to a rice field has just started.

【Bon appétit !】

　Before eating, the Japanese customarily clap their hands and say “itadakimasu” – “I humbly receive.” This is a show of gratitude for not only the food that they receive then, but also toward all things related to the food that they will go on to receive. In Japan, there is a belief that there are kami in all things, and from a young age, people are taught not to waste a single grain of rice.
