Harvest moon appeared on October 3. Now is one of the best periods in Akita.
Akita is written in Kanji characters, ' 秋 and 田 ' , each of which means 'autumn' and 'rice fields'.
Akita is used for the name of a city and a prefecture, so our prefecture, ' 秋田県' (Akitaken), has a lot of rice fields, and is famous for its good rice and various products and dishes from rice.
Rice fields are very beautiful now, and you can enjoy their beautiful sights on our website: http://akitahaiku.wordpress.com/.
My haiku and picture also appeared on the site.

The other day I wrote the following haiku, using 'scarecrow' as you did.
The scarecrow
protecting the vineyard
grapes ripen
;-) Nice!
返信削除I had an idea in my mind, perhaps just a variation, but I'm writing it here anyway:
Harvest time --
old woman brings some sake
for the scarecrow

返信削除How nice your haiku is!
To tell you the truth, I'm smiling or admiring at the attraction of your haiku.
I cannot help writing another haiku here now.
Harvest moon--
the scarecrow holding a cup
with old woman
Thank you again. Hidenori Hiruta
