あじさい
On Sunday we went to visit "Ajisai Yama"-> hortensia mountain. It was soooooooo pretty and reminded me of the trip to "Sakura Yama" during the cherry blossom season. I enjoyed Sunday's photo session with my host mom very much and today I'd like to share some results.
I especially like hortensias because of their many pastel colors. It often looks as if somebody painted each flower petal a slightly different shade of pink, purple, blue or red, to make all these colors blend in so well. Very inspiring to look at a whole mountain of these beautiful flowers.
By the way: The Japanese celebrate a few flowers per season (cherry blossom=Spring, hortensia= beginning of summer/ rainy season). If used in poetry, these seasonal words are called Kigo:
"Kigo ("season word") is a word associated with a particular season, used in traditional Japanese poetry."
Hopefully you've enjoyed today's quick update!
Have a blossoming day! Until next time!
