Doyō no Ushi no Hi
Today is Doyō no Ushi no Hi (土用の丑の日).
Doyō (土用) is a period that comes at the changing of each of the four seasons; it occurs four times a year, and each period lasts for 18 days.
It shares the same pronunciation with doyō (土曜 - meaning "Saturday"), but the kanji and the meaning are different (Incidentally, today is "Sunday").
In addition, Ushi no Hi (丑の日) is the day that corresponds to Ushi (丑) in the cycle of dates based on twelve zodiac signs.
There is/are Doyō Ushi no Hi in each season, and it is most well-known in summer. On this day, we have a custom of eating something beginning with u (う), especially unagi (うなぎ - meaning "eel"), which also has the role of preventing summer fatigue.
Given the record-breaking heat this year, please take extra care to avoid heatstroke.
