When posting a beautiful scene that I met on an autumn trip on SNS, I think that some people may look for words with good taste.

By using these expressions, I think it will be easier to convey the state of the autumn leaves spreading in front of you and the vivid colors to your followers.

In this article, we will explain in detail the meanings and seasonal words of the popular words that represent the 10 types of autumn leaves.

What are the words used in literary works to describe the autumn leaves?

Autumn leaves appear in many literary works such as waka poems, haiku, poetry, and novels. The words that describe the scene are as follows.

Noyama Nishiki

Noyama's Nishiki is an expression that replaces the luxuriousness of Noyama's colorful colors with autumn leaves with the word "Nishiki."

Nishiki is a silk fabric that is finished in a beautiful pattern using various colors. Autumn leaves come in a variety of colors and conditions, but Noyama Nishiki is said to be a word that expresses the gorgeousness of textiles.

Book of autumn leaves

It is a word that resembles the autumn leaves dyed on one side as a "book".

The book used for blindfolding from the outside often appears in the literature of the Heian period as "Kichō". At that time, the book played a role like a lace curtain that partitions in addition to the blindfold, but by combining the autumn leaves, it suddenly changes to a luxurious atmosphere.

Famous tree autumn leaves

It is a general term for beautiful autumnal trees in gardens and castle ruins.

For example, the word "autumn leaves" can be used for a large ginkgo tree that has yellow autumn leaves. Also, in places where there are various autumn leaves such as lacquer, persimmon, and goby, we sometimes choose the expression "Nagi autumn leaves" to put them together.

Autumn leaves

As the name suggests, this word, called "Tamomiji," describes the scenery of the valley colored with autumn leaves.

By the way, in order for the autumn leaves to be deeply and beautifully colored, it is necessary to have three conditions: sufficient sunlight, coldness at night, and moderate moisture. Therefore, the colored leaves along rivers and waterfalls tend to have stronger shades than the colored leaves in ordinary parks.

Autumn leaves in the garden

It is an expression that refers to a garden colored with autumn leaves.

It is said that the scenery of the autumn leaves in the garden includes the delicate appearance of the lush maple in early autumn, in addition to the autumn colors such as red and yellow. Therefore, the autumn leaves in the garden have the freedom to be used regardless of the time and color. You can also use the word "autumn leaves" to describe the small autumn scene in your garden.

Autumn leaves straw mat

This word, which we call "maple rather", likens the sight of the fallen leaves filling the ground as a "straw mat".

At this time of year, the mornings and evenings get colder, and the number of photos of autumn leaves on SNS is decreasing.
However, if you find a maple leaf that covers the rock surface or the ground while taking a walk in the neighborhood, you can use the word autumn leaves to convey the beauty of quiet autumn to everyone.

Kinshu

The expression is very similar to the "Noyama Nishiki" introduced at the beginning.

This also means a scene where mountains and the like are dressed in splendid textiles. When the mountains that went out to hunt for autumn leaves were covered with autumn leaves, it was described as "the mountains are dressed in autumn colors."By the way, in Iwate Prefecture, there is "Kinshuko" where the autumn leaves are very beautiful.

Autumn leaves

The beautifully shining autumn leaves are called "terimomiji".

Originally, "shining" is a word that means that the moon, the sun, etc. emit light.
For example, if you take a walk in the autumn leaves spot in the early morning, you can see the trees shining on your own as the sun rises. It's a good idea to name the photos taken at these times the autumn leaves.

Deciduous boat

It is a word that expresses how the fallen leaves fall on the surface of the water and float like a small boat.

"Autumn leaves raft" and "Konoha boat" have the same meaning as deciduous boats. The mountains will be lonely around the end of November, but if you use the autumnal straw mats and deciduous boats I introduced earlier, you can express the taste of plants in a different way.

First autumn leaves

This is the expression used when you first see the autumn leaves that are colored red or yellow that year.

The kanji "first" is a word that conveys the joy of finally encountering the autumn leaves. When posting on a blog or SNS that you went out for the first autumn leaves hunting this year, it is a good idea to use the first autumn leaves as the title.

Next to winter

This expression is used in late autumn when winter is just around the corner.

Autumn leaves that fit this term are dead leaves that have fallen to the ground for a while and have completely lost their colors such as red and yellow. The collaboration between nuts such as acorns and dead leaves is also a scene where the expression "winter neighbor" matches very well.

Summary

This time, I introduced 10 kinds of words and seasonal words that represent autumn leaves.

If you use these words well, I think it will be even more fun to post on SNS about autumn leaves hunting. In addition, emotions that cannot be expressed by photos alone will be easier to convey by combining them with words.
