Green Tea

We all know that when we speak about Japanese food and culture, we have to mention the green tea. Japanese people love green tea and they have special occasions and events that involves green tea. Today, we will be speaking about the benefits of green tea. They are many, but we will only mention five benefits, which are:

• Good for treating and preventing cancer.
• It is used to stop the diseases of Alzheimer and Parkinson.
• It is used to treat the damaged immune system.
• It reduces the level of cholesterol.
• It reduces the risk of heart diseases and heart attacks.

Wow, green tea is surely good to drink. If you drink it, that is very good; if you aren't, I think you should start. Live healthy ^^.

お盆 (O-Bon or Lantern Festival) - 13-16 August

It is a Buddhist festival where it is believed that the spirits of ancestors come back to earth on those days. People light lanterns and put them in front of the houses in order for the spirits to find their way back home to their families. Afterwards, the lanterns are floated on the river to tell the spirits the way to the underworld. However, this act is forbidden in big cities to avoid pollution.

Ramadan Kareem

Salam all,

The Sakura Club wishes you a happy Ramadan.


RAMADAN KAREEM

Green Day: 29th April

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to wish you a happy Green day.. Today, Nihon celebrates the Green day :) ..
"This holiday was originally celebrated in honor of Emperor Hirohito's birthday. Emperor Hirohito was born April 29, 1901. After his death he was given his posthumous name of Emperor Showa, as is the custom in Japan. The new imperial name means the era of enlightened peace. The emperor died on January 7, 1989 but the Japanese chose to continue to celebrate the day, calling it the Day of Green in reference to Emperor Hirohito's interest in plants and the environment. He was an expert biologist and was the author of 14 books about biology."

The Golden Week

Omedeto minna-san,
Today, Japan celebrates the start of the golden week which extends from 29th, April to the 5th of May.
The golden week resembles one of the big events in Japan as it includes four public holidays. These are Green Day (緑の日, 29 April), Constitution day (憲法の日, 3 May), People's day on May 4th and Children's Day (子どもの日, 5 May).
