Can you read? ``Suishiko''? Not. It's the seasonal word for winter.











 

 

 

 





The end of the autumnal equinox, when fresh rice is delicious and you can feel the deepening of autumn, is the beginning of dryness.
 

The origin of the word ``dry'' is dry, and it has the literal meanings ``to dry up'' and ``karare'', and ``hydration'' means to dry up, to dry up, to eliminate water from a pond, river, rice field, well, etc. Mizushirō is the word used to describe the process of draining water from a rice field to promote the rice harvest.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





Water's first dryness = water's first karuru

The 72nd term ``Water First Dry'' is read as ``water begins to flow''.
