January

Join us as we learn about life at the Otowasan Kannonji Temple through 24 terms from the solar calendar. On the winter date of Shokan, the nuns pick herbs in the temple's garden and make seasonal rice porridge. Then, we follow them on Daikan as they prepare kan-koji fermented rice and pickled napa cabbage. They also make a variety of winter dishes using dried vegetables.
