Take a long bath. The days get longer from tomorrow.

The winter solstice has the least daylight of the year. In Japan, people take baths with yuzu citrus.

a yuzu floats in the bath, tomorrow the days get longer

Today is Toji, the winter solstice: the day with the least daylight of the whole year. In Japan, it's customary to take a hot bath with yuzu citrus floating in it and to eat pumpkin.

The yuzu in the bath doesn't really do anything. It floats and smells nice. That's it. And that alone makes it the star of the day. Being useful just by floating there might be the ideal way to work.

This is a strong day. Take your time in a hot bath or shower, eat something warm and orange, and turn in early. From tomorrow, the light comes back a little at a time.

Try this today

  • Take a slow, hot bath or shower
  • Eat something with pumpkin or squash
