From Japan, with Love: Heavy Fog Drapes

Entry #018:

2021 October 13

The Autumn of Sports, The Autumn of Reading, The Autumn of the Arts…In Japan, we’ve dubbed Autumn in these various ways, as the season is synonymous to relishing in these activities. But Autumn is most known as The Autumn of Savour. And not surprisingly, personally my greatest delight. For Japanese people, Autumn is associated with sweet potato, chestnuts, kabocha, mushrooms, pacific saury, grapes, pears, and persimmons. It’s the ultimate spread, and much anticipated when the temperatures begin to cool. And like wild fans who follow their favorite band on a cross country tour, so do we follow the foliage spread across the Japanese countryside from North to South. But really, that might just be the best excuse to take pleasure in the tastes of the season, in each region of the country. I’m currently brainstorming where I’d like to go to next, as I put together these fukubukuro. I hope you’re looking forward to them!
