Around October 19th to 23rd 2023, it is AKI(Autumn)-KANRO(Cold dew)- 51st KOU “Crickets chirp around the door”.

The season has reached the end of KANRO (Cold dew) and the nights can get quite cold.  In Nagano City, the number of days with minimum temperatures in the single digits is increasing (especially just before sunrise). Are crickets also looking for a warm place (house)?

Japan has a culture of enjoying the sounds of insects’ chirping, how elegant (FURYU), isn’t it? . And recently, eating insects has become popular. In any case, are the circumstance becoming difficult for crickets to live in????

2023/10/18 Just came out from among withered leaves in the kitchen garden. Can you find it?
