Lesser Fullness (Shouman) Whispers of Water / The 24 Solar Terms

A calm afternoon as summer approaches. Kakitsubata (Rabbit-ear Iris) flowers are blooming brightly along the water's edge. It is said that in the 5th century, "Iwanohime," the Empress of the Emperor, was buried here in "Hishage Ancient Tomb." A quiet time that has continued since ancient times passes, and a gentle breeze sways the water surface. The dragonfly is a messenger that transcends time. Before you know it, the area is enveloped in the light of sunset, and a crescent moon appears in the sky.

*According to the 24 Solar Terms of Reiwa 6 (2024), Shouman is from May 20 to June.
