A golden wheat field. Many people may have an image of autumn harvest. But wheat is harvested in summer. Therefore, ``Mugiaki'' is a seasonal word for summer, and it also has an image of early summer.
There is a movie directed by Yasujiro Ozu called ``Mugiaki.'' Noriko, played by Setsuko Hara, plays the leading role, making this work one of the Noriko trilogy along with ``Late Spring'' and ``Tokyo Story.'' The last scene of the movie "Mugiaki" is set in Nara. It ends at Ikaruga Village, where wheat fields spread out. It's summer, but it's autumn because we're harvesting. Something comes to fruition, something comes to an end. The word ``Mugiaki'' suggests that this work expresses that kind of change.
