November 8th to 12th is Winter-RITTO (Beginning of winter)-55th KOU “SAZANKA blooms”.

RITTO is the first sign of winter in the lunisolar calendar. Has winter started? I don’t really feel that way. The temperature this morning (11/09) at 6:00 was 7℃. It feels warmer now that I’m used to it.

I had been changing my walking route for the past few days, but when I return to my usual route for the first time in a while, not only the SAZANKAs but also the ground is in full bloom.
