Half a day ago (I'm on Japan time), I showed the kofun tumuli and ancient style Shintō shrine I visited with an American professor, at permalink

This time I'm showing the subtle beauty of early autumn, for those who so worship: 1) rice fields nearly ready to harvest, 2) spider lilies that are gorgeous, but that Japanese people find spooky, 3) bush clover every September, if you notice their tiny flowers, and 4) pampas grass, ubiquitous in the Japanese autumn countryside.
