The First Day of Autumn / 立秋 [Life]
東京は梅雨明けから１週間、連日猛暑が続いています。
今日は暦で言うところの立秋。もう残暑とは…。
秋の訪れを迎える前に、もう少し「夏」を楽しみたいところです。
それにしては暑すぎる…？
We are in the midst of summer for a week in Tokyo since the rainy season was over.
Today is "Risshū (立秋=the first day of autumn) " by the traditional East Asian calendars (24 solar terms). And we say "Zansho (残暑=the late summer heat)" from today.
I would like to enjoy the "Summer" a little more before the autumn has come.
Even so, it is too hot for me~ Ohhhh...!!!
