Oniyuri(tiger lily) that blooms on the shore of Lake Kawaguchi is blooming more red.  Oniyuri is usually dark red with freckle-like black spots, but Oniyuri looking up at Mt. Fuji are all bright red and even look ashamed.  The snow cap has completely disappeared, and Mt. Fuji, which has the style of a samurai, stands proudly as if he can enjoy this summer.  By the time the Obon festival is over and the autumn equinoctial week is approaching, you will see the first snowfall.  The scenery of Mt. Fuji and its surroundings around the year in spring, summer, autumn and winter is just like a big calendar.

河口湖畔に咲くオニユリが一段と赤く咲いています。オニユリは普通浅黒い赤色でそばかすの様な黒い斑点がありますが、富士山を見上げるオニユリは皆んな真っ赤で、恥じらいでいる様にさえ見えます。冠雪もすっかり消え、武士の風格さえ漂う富士山は今夏を満喫する様に堂々とたたずんでいます。お盆も過ぎて秋の彼岸が近付く頃には初冠雪を見ることになります。春夏秋冬、一年を巡る富士と周りの景色は大きなカレンダーです。
