10:16 *Note: “Weeding of the rice fields” (tā no shuri): In the area around Shoyashiki, after the planting of rice seedlings, the rice paddies are generally weeded and cultivated three times. The second series of weeding and cultivating is done at the start of midsummer. The time when the third series is done usually depends on how the weather fares that particular year, but if everything goes favorably, it is usually done by the end of midsummer, or near the beginning of autumn. The beginning of autumn fell in the seventh lunar month or near August 7 according to the solar calendar. |
