It is getting nice and cool in October. Colors of leaves start to change in some places.

People spend their time in many ways. Some think eating seasonal harvest is the best, some enjoy reading books. It is also the best season for sports and art. How are you planning to spend your fall?

We have old Japanese names for 12 months. October’s old name is ‘Kan-na-dsuki’. ‘Kan’ is gods and ‘na’ is no. All gods gather in Izumo in the tenth month and all the other regions are without gods, no god, Kan-na. On the other hand, Izumo region is full of gods in this month and the month’s name is ‘Kami-ari-dsuki’, god-existing month.

※October students of 2018 go in March,2019.
