June 2026: Embrace the Beauty of Japan’s Rainy Season (Tsuyu)
Get ready for June with our special 2026 calendar coloring page! This month, we focus on a unique season in Japan called “Tsuyu” (梅雨), the rainy season.
Learn Japanese with Coloring!
This coloring sheet is not only fun but also a great way to learn Japanese seasonal vocabulary. Here are some words you can learn while you color:
- Ame (あめ / 雨): Rain. Essential for this season!
- Ajisai (あじさい / 紫陽花): Hydrangea. These beautiful flowers bloom across Japan in June.
- Kaeru (かえる / 蛙): Frog. You can see many happy frogs in the rice fields and gardens.
- Kassa (かさ / 傘): Umbrella.
Cultural Insight: What is Tsuyu?
In Japan, the transition from spring to summer is marked by Tsuyu. While it may be rainy, it is a vital time for farmers to plant rice. People enjoy the vibrant colors of Ajisai, which look even more beautiful when glistening with raindrops.
Our illustration captures this atmosphere with children wearing raincoats and playing in puddles. It’s a perfect activity for students learning about Japanese culture or anyone looking for a relaxing, seasonal craft.
