Camellia Tea Ceremony<p>Happy 'Marine Day'!🌊😅<br>Umi-no-hi (海の日) was first celebrated in 1996 as a day of gratitude for the blessings of the oceans.<br>As an island nation, the seas have played an important role in the development of Japan.</p><p>Kameya Norikatsu's (亀屋則克) 'hamazuto' (浜土産) is produced specially for the summertime. As Kyōto city is far from the sea, the sight of shells reminds us of cool ocean breezes (and has us longing for the coast🥹).</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/%E6%B5%B7%E3%81%AE%E6%97%A5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>海の日</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MarineDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarineDay</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Japan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Kyoto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kyoto</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/uminohi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uminohi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wagashi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wagashi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dayofthesea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dayofthesea</span></a></p>
