August 7th – August 12th, 2025 is Autumn – Start of RISSHU (Beginning of autumn)-37th KOU “Cool breezes begin to blow.”
According to the traditional lunar calendar, autumn has already begun—a season when cool breezes start to blow.
In the quiet moments before dawn, I sometimes feel a faint, cool breeze drifting in through the open window of my bedroom. I occasionally encounter such a breeze during my early morning walks as well.
The cosmos flowers were already in bloom. Did you know that its Japanese name is AKIZAKURA—literally “autumn cherry blossoms”? The flowers swayed gently in the occasional cool breeze.
However, daytime temperatures are hovering around 35°C. The cool breeze only blows from the air conditioner.
