七夕

- 七夕! So I like to serve tea from 星野製茶園, 糸巻き for 煙草盆 or 棚.
- At HY in VII 22 we made たんざくねりきり, which was a ball of あんこ wrapped in green and then white paste. Then a bamboo stalk was drawn in, and some よかん or かんてん shaped like the little wish cards people hang for 七夕 applied.
- Serving 笹茶 as お白湯 for 七夕 (like at 八雲
祇園祭

御名
- 夏の雲（なつ の くも）

- some places in Japan have a 風鈴祭り（ふうりん まつり）, a wind bell festival. So maybe 風鈴 is a good 御名?
