We have good harvest time all over Akita. This is one of the most beautiful periods here, just as the name of Akita （秋田） means 'Rice field in autumn'. ' 秋 (Aki)' means 'autumn', and ' 田 (ta)' means 'paddy field'.
Autumn hue
rising clear to eyes
paddy fields
秋色の目にさやかなる稲田かな
Shushoku no me ni sayaka naru inada kana
Abundant ―
waves of rice ears turned
clear golden
豊かさや黄金に染まる稲穂波
Yutakasa ya kogane ni somaru inaho nami
― Hidenori Hiruta
delightful hidenori san

the autumn moon
over Ajax rooftops
hangs also above
Taiwan's fields --
