Snapshot No. 635-639
639. Autumn sky Nr.3
The evening sky today.
At a nearby square.
638. Autumn sky Nr.2
The street in front of Tokyo Christian University at Inzai.
The row of momiji-ba-fuu has changed their colors beautifully.
637. Autumn sky
Full of autumn atmosphere these days.
A shot during morning walk with Jiro at a nearby square.
17-year-old Jiro has recovered a lot from the summer fatigue.
636. Oni-gurumi
Oni-gurumi picked up at the castle ruins park.
When it lies on the ground, it is covered by blackish peel, like the lower one in the photo.
When the peel is removed, a solid shell appears, like the upper stuff in the photo.
635. Aka-tonbo
An aka-tonbo I saw at a nearby brook side.
In these days, I see many of them also in front of my place, spreading their wings in the late afternoon sun.
The word aka-tonbo reminds us of the nursery rhyme "♬ yuu-yake ko-yake no aka-tonbo - ".
It seems I am not alone to wonder about whtat the second "ko-yake" means after the first "yuu-yake" (sunset glow). Checkings on line show many explantions to this.
The most probable right answer is that;
the word with no particular meaning just to attune with the rhythm of the preceding word,
same as in "oo-samu (severe cold) ko-samu", "naka-yosi (friends) ko-yosi",
Well this is not the subject to take so seriously.
Those who love aircraft think of yet another aka-tonbo.
Trainers. Of the old days, though.
Bi-planes and orange-painted fuselage make us automatically think of the name aka-tonbo, regardless if they are for the navy or for the army.
The right is a part of a poster at hand.
Navy's "Type 93 intermediate trainer" designed by Kawanisi Aircraft.
