At dawn in the early autumn -- Uda City, Nara Prefecture, surrounded by mountains, is blanketed in the morning mist. When you look down from a high place, it is a "sea of clouds" literally. As the sun rises, the gray waves of clouds are dramatically dyed orange at first and end up in silky white. Shining drops of the dew on flowers and leaves seem to celebrate the beginning of a new day.

*According to the 24 Solar Terms of Reiwa 3 (2021), Hakuro is from September 7 to 23.
