🏊♂️🧢🏉SPORTS DAY🥏🥎🧗♂️
Happy 'Health and Sports Day' (体育の日 'Taiiku-no-hi')!🥳
As you might expect, we'll be celebrating with lashings of tea and sweets, and as the holiday commemorates the 1964 Tōkyō Olympics there's a subtle Olympic theme to today's offerings🏅
A sumptuous lunch box filled with colourful seafood and vegetables.
Colourful macarons hinting at the Olympic rings.
One of my favourite tea bowls. Purchased for the Tokyo Olympics it depicts mice holding the Olympic rings. The pandemic delayed the Olympics, so in the end it didn't take place in the Year of the Rat.
A Japanese flag inspired sweet (the flag sits on a red bean paste with a thin layer of jelly covering the round confection).
