It was the last day of February.
This afternoon on my way to my class I stopped by Monzoan, a Japanese confectionery store . As you can see the photo it looked like an old Japanese house. I got Kusamochi which is according to web dictionary rice-flour dumplings mixed with mugwort with Anko, red bean jam, fillings.
It is a kind of test of early spring. There is a sign in the store Fedruary 28 is the day of kusamochi.
This is new to me. We, Japanese like to eat seasonable food. Sometimes those food have make a sense for our body. New mugwort sprout in spring are nutritious.

I had three senior students. They enjoyed afternoon green tea and Kusamochi after my painting class.
