Crosne du japon

Sola’s first internship is over!
We are relieved as a family that it was over without incident.

She came back with her shoes covered in mud from working in the fields of elementary and junior high schools around the 20th arrondissement of Paris.
Surrounded by the association’s staff and volunteers, she had a very fulfilling day.

“I thought that human contact is really important”, she said, and she want to work at there.

The photos are the souvenir that we received every day.
The second one, which I thought was a caterpillar, is the tuber part of a Japanese chorogi, a perennial plant of the Cyperaceae family.
They dye this red and use it to decorate the new year’s dishes(Osechi).
But I have never seen it.
In Chinese characters, it is written “chorogi”, which means “elder tree”, which may bring good luck.
In French, it is called “Crosne du japon”.
