Exploring Japanese Culture: What Is “Tsuyu”?
In Japan, June marks the arrival of “Tsuyu,” which literally means “rainy season.” This traditional rainy season lasts from early June through mid-July. While the weather may be gloomy, it showcases some of Japan’s most iconic seasonal symbols, all of which are featured in this coloring template:
- Ajisai (アジサイ / 紫陽花) – Hydrangea: These vibrant flowers bloom especially brilliantly during the rainy season. Their colors vary depending on soil pH, ranging from vivid blue-purple to soft pink.
- Snail (カタツムリ): In Japanese culture, snails have a deep connection to June. Children’s songs and seasonal artwork often depict them resting on the leaves of vibrant hydrangeas.
