SUMMER (summer rains) Samidare mo shizuku ni otsuru miyama kana (Ōtabon Shunmusōchū 190) ∼Even in dense growth, strong summer showers break through—but only in trickles.

SUMMER (thunder showers, cool) Yūdachi no shiratama suzushi murakashiwa (Ōtabon Shunmusōchū 208).

AUTUMN (autumn leaf) Semi no koe shigemi o aki no hitoha kana (Ōtabon Shunmusōchū 232) ∼One leaf signifies the arrival of autumn. Compare poem 10.

AUTUMN (paulownia) Kiri no ha ni aki no hi usushi ame mogana (Ōtabon Shunmusōchū 236) ∼Sino-Japanese sequence (wakan renku): a subgenre of linked verse with alternating Chinese and Japanese verses that was especially popular in Buddhist monasteries and among courtiers. ∼The sunshine barely breaks through the dense paulownia foliage. Rain would bring both sound and color to the scene.
