Kan-zarashi
’Kan-zarashi' or 'Kan-boshi', a seasonal event to dry bamboo outside under the sun, has started in Inkoma City which is the largest producer of chasen (green tea whisks) in Japan.
The bamboo is used to make tea whisks, and Ikoma City has a very long history as a whisk producer since Muromachi era.
'Kan-zarashi' lasts one -two months, and after that the bamboo is moved into a warehouse and is stored there to dry for about as lomg as 2 years. After the long time, the bamboo is finally ready to become a whisk.

この時期に行われる竹の「寒ざらし」または「寒干し」が茶せんの日本一の産地である奈良県生駒市ではじまりました。
生駒市は室町時代から茶筅の産地だそうです。
寒ざらしは1ヶ月かけて行われ、その後は倉庫で2年もの間乾燥するために寝かされるそうです。その後ようやく茶筅に加工されるのだそうです。

Thanks for the photos:

1.17
Yesterday, January 17th was the 21st anniversary of the massive earthquake which struck Kobe and surrounding areas.
6434 people were killed in the disaster.
At 5:46 a.m. the exact time when the earthquake hit the beautiful city of Kobe, people gave prayers for their lost loved ones.

21 years have passed, and Kobe is now as beautiful as it was before the earthquake. But the disaster will remain in our hearts as something we need to remember.

昨日1月17日は神戸とその周辺を襲った阪神大震災から21年の日でした。6434人もの人がなくなりました。
朝5:46分、地震発生時刻に人々はなくなった方への祈りを捧げました。

21年経ち、神戸は地震以前の美しさを取り戻しましたが、地震のことはいつまでも心に留めてこれからも進んでいくことでしょう。
