The autumn shape　with　"Crimson" Japanese calligraphy




あしひきの　山の黄葉　今夜もか　　浮かび行くらむ　山川の瀬に
大伴書持 (? - 746)　　万葉集

Autumn mountain　fallen leaves　tonight,too　　went floating　shallows of river
Ōtomo no Fumimochi (? - 746)　　Man'yōshū







秋風の　吹きにし日より　音羽山　　みねの梢も　色づきにけり
紀　貫之 (866 - 945)　　古今和歌集

Autumn breeze　from blewing day　Otowa mountain　　treetop of the peak　turns red
Ki no Tsurayuki (866 - 945)　　Kokin Wakashū







神な月　風に紅葉の　散る時は　　そこはかとなく　物ぞ悲しき
藤原高光 (939 - 994)　　新古今和歌集

comes to november　autumn leaves　fall in the wind　vaguely　sad atmosphere　
Fujiwara no Takamitsu (939 - 994)　　Shin Kokin Wakashū







　　　"紅" (kō, kurenai). It is translated as deep red, crimson.
　This character is written by Kanzi, Semi-cursive_script.

　　　Etymology :　Phono-semantic compound
　　紅 ⇒　糸 (thread)　+ 工 (work)

The molding of the Nature is very delicate. And splendid.





by DiscoverNippon. I show the respect for him.


Kyoto is a very famous ancient city. Landmark architectures. Elegant nature. 
It is the symbolic town of Japan.

In every season, the expression is the traditional beauty.

    How beautiful to see this, dear Ruma, after my hot six months in Mumbai. I even posted the video on Facebook. I head home in one week. Can't wait to see my little granddaughter who will be almost eight months old when I see her...she was six weeks old when I left.

    Japan is so spectacular anytime of the year. My love to you, dear friend whom I have never seen.
