Season of the mellowness in the Far East Ⅰ




      
In the haiku and the waka, the colored leaves are often symbols of the mountains.






   「色付くや   豆腐に落ちて  薄紅葉」   松尾芭蕉 (haiku)

   iro zuku ya toufu ni ochite usu momiji Matsuo Bashō

  "Decline in tofu as soon as turn red and yellow, and lightly turn it red"






   「このたびは  幣(ぬさ)も取りあへず手向山 紅葉(もみじ)の錦 神のまにまに」 (waka)

   konotabi ha  
nusa mo toriahezu tamuke yama   momidi no nishiki  kami no mani mani

   菅原 道真(すがわらのみちざね) 古今集
   Sugawara no Michizane  Kokin Wakashū

   "This trip was not able to prepare "
nusa" to give to a travelers' guardian deity in a sudden thing.
   Because I give the autumn colors of this mountain, I resemble it as a heart God, and please receive it."

  7. Are these photos of Japanese Maples? They are sooo gorgeous & I'd love to have at least one in my yard, but they're soooo expensive here that I just can't afford them. Your photos are wonderful

  10. I'm reluctant to say A hui hou (goodby) to Autumn and your photos are why! I agree..they must resemble the heart of God.. what a beautiful thought-

  20. J'adore la calligraphie qui représente "congratulations", tellement explicite !
    J'adore la porcelaine japonaise, quelle belle tasse au point qu'on oserait à peine s'en servir !
    J'adore cette série magnifique d'arbres à la couleur orange automnale, qu'on aimerait eux toucher pour se ressourcer de leur belle énergie !
    J'adore votre raffinement que nous caressons du bout de nos yeux !

    Bien à vous.

  21. Hello Ruma,

    I like all the colorful leaves in your photos. I don't remember ever seeing colorful leaves when I was in Japan. But I am sure they were there and I just missed them.
