While I have been absent from the blog for a while, it has become midsummer in Tokyo. The temperature during the day sometimes exceeds 35 degrees Celsius, and we cannot sleep without air conditioning at night. Also, this year we have been experiencing a pattern of hot days followed by thunder and rain in the evening. Travelers to Tokyo should beware of sudden rain showers in the evening. When thunderstorms do occur, sometimes the rain stops rather quickly, so please try to avoid them as you travel!

Today, I will introduce countermeasures against the nasty ones that appear in summer.

Mosquito coils are called mosquito coils. These coils emit smoke that keeps mosquitoes away.
It is a useful tool when working outside for long hours during this time of year.

It is contained in this way.

It comes in a set of two, so you can take it apart.

It is put on the stand and lit and used.

Because a little smoke is emitted, it is used at a distance. If I do so, there will be no mosquitoes in the surroundings. It burns for about three hours in this.

Mosquito coils have been around for a long time, but for some reason, a pig bowl is the standard.
When we adjusted the shape that the smoke flows well, it became a shape like a pig?
There is one such theory, but the truth is unknown.
However, the pig is the standard design in Japan!
