POMANDER


Have you seen this brown ball?

A piece of fruit, typically an orange, studded with cloves and hung in a wardrobe to perfume it.
(Definitions from Oxford Languages)

When I saw it the first time, thought that decoration for a Christmas tree. It looks like a pine corn. And it came to my house before the Christmas month.

Although insects dislike the smell of the Pomander, I rather like it and will keep it in my closet. 

 In Japan, the weather is unusual. Intermittently, it is winter. Still, it is like Autumn in December. A bit sweaty when walking outside. Not able to expect a snowy moody Christmas this year.
