"Falled leaves" and "dead leaves"

It's hot every day。There are some points in western Japan today where the temperature exceeds 38 degrees.、Temperatures of over 35° were recorded in the Kanto region.。September starts tomorrow、In recent years, this heat at this time of year is、I feel like it's not so rare anymore。Still、About a week ago、I started hearing the crickets.。It's autumn、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。

The trees and grass in the garden are parched and dry.。They say it's been a long time since there's been a thunderstorm since the afternoon.、I looked at the sky in anticipation, but all I saw was the atmosphere (after dark、 10It rained for about a minute)。Still, a cool breeze was blowing、at nightfall、I took a short walk around the neighborhood by bicycle.。

Withered leaves are already falling and piling up on the streets of the park.。Maybe it's because of the sunshine、It looks like it's already autumn in my eyes。Suddenly、I thought about the difference between "fallen leaves" and "dead leaves"。

Some leaves wither while still attached to the branches.。Diseased leaves (Wakuraba)、Kuchiba corresponds to this.。On the contrary、Being beaten by the wind and rain, etc.、Some leaves remain green and fall、in deciduous trees、Plants shed their leaves as part of their own physiology.。In haiku、Fallen leaves and dead leaves both seem to be seasonal words for winter.、Fallen leaves seem to be used more often.。If the persimmon leaves fall, it's called "fallen persimmon leaves"、If the leaves of the shiitake fall, it is called "fallen shiiba".。I don't call it persimmon dead leaves or shiiba dead leaves.。In the latter、It's strange because it feels like the tree itself is sick.。
