March

Join us as we learn about life at the Otowasan Kannonji Temple through 24 terms from the solar calendar. First, follow the nuns on the day of Keichitsu as they pick nobiru and prepare a Chinese-style salad with starch noodles. Then, they make special bamboo shoot dumplings and chirashi-zushi for a cherry blossom viewing party on the spring equinox, also known as Shunbun.
