Celebrate June with “Tsuyu” — The Japanese Rainy Season
This June 2026 calendar coloring page is themed around Tsuyu (梅雨), the traditional rainy season in Japan. It’s a beautiful time when nature thrives under the gentle rain.
Learn Japanese through Coloring
While you color, try practicing these seasonal Japanese words found in the illustration:
- Ajisai (あじさい): Hydrangea. These flowers are the symbol of June in Japan, changing colors from blue to purple.
- Kaeru (かえる): Frog. You can see a happy frog sitting on a lotus leaf!
- Katatsumuri (かたつむり): Snail. They love the humid weather of the rainy season.
- Teru Teru Bozu (てるてる坊主): These are simple handmade dolls made of white paper or cloth. Japanese children hang them outside windows to pray for sunny weather the next day.
A Glimpse into Japanese Culture
In Japan, the rainy season isn’t just about getting wet; it’s a season to appreciate the transition to summer. Children often wear colorful raincoats and boots (known as “Nagagutsu”) to jump in puddles, just like the kids in this coloring page. We hope this printable helps you enjoy the unique atmosphere of a Japanese June!
