A Sign of Autumn

It has become much cooler recently and it has been chilly in the evening.
Although it feels that autumn has come,
it looks like it will take some time for the leaves to turn color around here.
The photograph above is “Senko-no Ie”, the oldest saumurai house
in Takeda district in Maruoka-cho, Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture.
I took it on November 12th of last year.
The traditional Japanese landscape stands out in autumn.


Maruoka-cho is a buckwheat-flour producing area,
and white flowers of buckwheat start blooming here and there around September.
That is the time it feels that autumn has arrived.
