This time, I introduce "梅雨"

May, June, July
It continues to rain in Japan in early summer.
We call this time ''梅雨 [tsu yu]''.

Why will it be the rain of the plum ?

A lot of fruits of the plum just become ripe in this time.
Rain of the time when a lot of fruits of the plum become ripe.
Therefore We express it with the rain of the plum.

All of us have splendid sensitivity.
I think that we receive a lot of blessings from nature with the sensitivity.

The character is one of them, too.

This time,
I drew ''梅'' with an ume tree as a motif,
I drew ''雨'' with the fruit of the plum as a motif.

What do you draw ?



Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
