 +- suitable 道具 and 軸
 +- Ullrich translated the almanac it seems, and added sketches (link)

 +- it's always around this time of the year when the earth travels through the perseids, and you can see a truckload of falling stars. In Japanese it's 流星, which can be read as ながれぼし, which is a bit childish, or りゅうせい, which is more poetic.
 +- There is also 夏木立, a grove that gives a feeling of shadow, which Tomoko used in VIII 24.

 +   * On the first, it's 八朔, where traditionally, tradesmen and 芸者 visit their elders and teachers and inquire about their health. For tea people, good idea to visit your teachers; and for them to make a bowl of tea (八朔釜) 
 +   * The Almanac is a bit unclear about this, but I understood it like there is a training session from the 17.8 to 31.8 at 今日庵 where you play 100 rounds of 花月 from 0800 to 1500 just for training.
    * 花火. In Switzerland, these are not really traditional; the bon fires on the mountains are much more authentic.    * 花火. In Switzerland, these are not really traditional; the bon fires on the mountains are much more authentic.

-   * 洗茶巾, and big 水指, as well as buckets.+   * Using a small 釜 that boils quickly and requires a smaller fire makes sense; or also a closed 風炉 where you can't see the fire; or you could use one in the shape of 富士山 or wind-bells, use a 遠山 灰型 and use lots of フジ灰. 
 +   * The Almanac says how it is still perfectly fine to use the water-related 道具 from July, but you could also start to move towards the first signs of autumn, such as first winds, first falling leaves (一葉) etc. 
 +  * 洗茶巾, and big 水指, as well as buckets; again Bizen.
          * Burkus tells the story that 利休 liked to use a swallow 香合, which he placed on a bucket 水指, mirroring this idea that the swallow would normally sit there.          * Burkus tells the story that 利休 liked to use a swallow 香合, which he placed on a bucket 水指, mirroring this idea that the swallow would normally sit there.

 +===花===

 +   * Baskets are still good idea (Mittwer), but also 釣船, wetted-through Bizen, Iga, Namban.
