There has been a bit of discussion on the FALLEN LEAVES as kigo for all winter.


Why are fallen leaves a kigo for winter in Japan?


This photo was taken in September. Thirty two 32℃ ... I am used to the European way of expressing it in centigrade. It is summer when the temperature goes over 30℃. Other parts of Japan were even hotter that day !

some comments

HI Gabi,
I really like this juxtaposition with the references to global warning and your photo.

.....

Ah dear Gabi,
global warming has changed everything and it is good that you are noting that. Bravo!

'At thirty two' makes me think that it is your age, not the temperature. Maybe 'of thirty two'? Or put the temperature first?

.....

Gabi,
global warming may have us all revising our saijiki.

Thanks for all you do.

.....
