　　新年の客を数えてめでたさの色どり想い重箱を買う

先日の骨董市の戦勝品。津軽塗の重箱３段重ね。小ぶりなので弁当箱にもなりそうなので、来年のリゾート公園での朝ごはん用に。勿論クリスマスやお正月にも登場します。
ろうそく、紅白各１本買ったら２本の白がおまけについてきた。リースのつるを取りに出かけよう。明日の天気次第では。今日は英会話へ。検討結果アンコールワット行を決心。あーあ何事もありませんように。
Japanese Card Games
One of the oldest card games is that of "one hundred waka poems."
These waka, which are representative of this form of poetry, date back as early as the seventh century and were assembled together in the thirteenth century to form this game.
Each of these waka consists of 31 syllables arranged in 3 lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively in the first part and 2 lines of 7 syllables each in the second part.
To play the game, first the cards that have only the second part of the waka printed on them are laid face up.
A number of people sit around these cards, listen to one person read out the waka and try to pick up the matching card.
The winner is the one who picks up the most.
An expert is able to pick up the correct card as soon as he hears the beginning of the first part.
So it means that if you want to win you have to memorize the whole of the one hundred waka.
This game was played in my home with my mother and my grand mother as I was a girl.
