JAPANESE 24 SEASONS OF THE YEAR – SHŌSHO, SMALL HEAT

Japanese 24 Seasons of the Year – Shōsho, Small Heat

July 6, 2022

It's not the worst of the summer heat, not yet! But it's quite hot enough during the day that shorts and tee shirts are essential...

So she's headed to the lake, alone. She's rented the world's tiniest lake house. She can only be in 1 place at a time, so a 1-room house (let's be frank and call it a cabin, eh?) is perfect for her...
