Japanese Culture: The “Tsuyu” Season
In Japan, June is famous for “Tsuyu” (梅雨), the rainy season. While it might be gloomy outside, it is a vital time for rice farming. You can decorate your calendar with traditional symbols of June in Japan, such as:
- Ajisai (Hydrangeas): Beautiful flowers that bloom in shades of blue and purple during the rain.
- Teru Teru Bozu: Small paper dolls hung outside windows to pray for sunny weather.
- Father’s Day (Chichi no Hi): Just like in many other countries, the third Sunday of June (June 21st in 2026) is a day to honor fathers.
