The morning glory is autumn flowers

morning glory has a somewhat summer image, but in the world of Haiku it is regarded as a seasonal word for autumn, and it is originally "Autumn Flower". There seems to be a variety that actually blooms until around December.

But in general, it will peak until around September. I guess it's rare to see it in October. However, "morning glory" is now in full bloom on the fence of the schoolyard of Kyobashi Tsuki Elementary School. Foreign tourists passing by occasionally look up, but many people seem to be not very interested.

It's right next to Tsukiji Station, and if you're near you, take a look at the colorful autumn morning glory. It shines very well in the autumn sky.
