５月に入り、はたと端午の節句が近いことを思い出しました。樟脳（しょうのう）を入れて片付けたのがついこの間。「えっ〜もう？！」と正直取り出すのが面倒で今年は止めようかとの思いが頭をよぎるも気を取り直して武者人形を床の間に飾りました。
我が家のイケメン大将たちに出てきてもらうとやっぱり清々しい気持ちになります。掛け軸の日本画は平井東庵(1860-?)のコロコロの犬？とわらび。滋賀で生まれ西陣の織物卸商の平井家に入った実業家で画や茶道に精通していたとのこと。

It turned to May and I suddenly remembered that the Boy's Festival is coming shortly. It seems like only a few months ago that I put warrior's dolls in the cases and kept them in the outhouse after the Boy's Festival last year. Actually I felt it would be a hassle to retrieve and display them again for now, but I changed the mood by collecting myself and displaying them in the guest room.
They are so nice and I feel very good looking at these dolls. The Japanese painting of the hanging scroll is by Hirai Tohan.
It is in the middle of the Long Holidays and I have customers who stop by my cafe after visiting Taga Taisha. I am a bit surprised that many of them are from the Tokyo and Osaka area which are a long way to Taga.
