１０月９日（jyugatsu kokonoka）： October 9

Today is kanro (寒露), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節季), the 24 solar terms. The last one was shubun (秋分) on September 23 and the next one is soko (霜降) on October 24. Kanro literally means cold dew. It was not so cold today. Weather was fine and it was good for the Athletic meeting. There was the one in my town too, though I did not attend.
