2012.9.7

Today is hakuro (白露), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節季), the 24 solar terms.  The last one was shosho (処暑) on August 23, and the next one is shubun (秋分) on September 22.  Hakuro literally means white dew.  It is the time when the air becomes cold and dews come out.  However it is still hot in the daytime.
