Literally, "rain of Autumn."
Of course, as we all know, Autumn is the most poetic of seasons, especially in Japan. The steady drip of rain in the narrow lanes of Gion, the glimpse of a maiko making her way through the town on some mid-day errand—these things have a timeless quality which would require more than words or pictures to convey.
Perhaps a haiku by Basho would do it.

Oh boy, having Mike as tour guide is a wonderful way to explore Japan. I'm loving it so far. Today's pictorial selections are just lovely and depict the season perfectly.
That's what I want to hear . . . thanks!
