Our Secret Meeting Place ~ Japan in Autumn
Under the spreading maple trees.

The bright red Japanese maples (紅葉, *momiji*) are without compare. Of all the autumn colors, they stand out the most. They go best when contrasted with the brilliant golden ginkgo (銀杏, *ichō*), but are still gorgeous by themselves.

For the Japanese poetry lovers among us, *momiji* by itself is a *kigo* for late autumn. My *saijiki*[^2] mentions that momiji viewing parties began in the Heian period, which incidentally is also when cherry blossom viewing parties stared to be a thing. 

[^2]: A saijiki is a book or books (sometimes several volumes long) that contains a listing of *kigo*—season words—for use in haiku, divided by season, along with example haiku for each word and brief description. 

This photo from Rokusho Shrine (六所神社), the Matsudaira family shrine,[^1] honored after Ieyasu became shogun as a sacred place. There is a high school nearby, so school kids are constantly going through this area. Not much of a secret place, unfortunately, but a beautiful one.

[^1]: Ieyasu's family name and his family's for some generations was Matsudaira before he changed it to the far better known Tokugawa.
