LONG, COLD NIGHTS. Already dark at 4:30 pm. Outside faucet frozen. Venus and Jupiter in the clear evening sky.
►On this longest of all nights, when yin (the night) predominates and yang (the sun) is at its weakest, the Japanese put a yellow yuzu (citron) and sweet flag leaves in the bath to warm the body well against illness. The yuzu represents a prayer for the sun’s revitalization.
