season word 0607 wheat harvest time

 
 
The kanji is called "bakusyu".
This time I learnt that "bakusyu" is a season word of early summer.
Actually "bakusyu" is translated as "wheat harvest time" in this article, it seems to be translated as "early summer" once in a while.
 
Baku means wheat, and Syu means autumn.
Usually harvest season is autumn in Japan, however, the wheat harvest time is in June, so we call this season "wheat (baku)  autumn (syu)".
 
On one day in Bakusyu, before bustle of children, full of quietness
--- Children's summer vacation is just around the corner. During summer vacation as soon as the sun rises, we are covered with bustle of children.
 
Bakusyu  contrast green rice plants with golden wheat
We see grenn rice plants and golden wheats at same fields.
