June "Minatsuki" "水無月"
June is rainy season in Japan.
This kanji "水無月" literally means "June".
The first kanji "水(mi)" means "water".
The second "無(na)" means "nothing".
The last "月(tsuki)" means "month".
*"Minatsuki" actually pronounce "Minaduki".
No water in rainy season? How come?
This word "Minatsuki" is from old Japanese.
Old Japanese "無(na)" means "of".
So "Minatsuki" means "Water of month".

Swallow"燕"
I made a "May T-shirt about swallow" yesterday.
I am going to write more about swallows in Japan.
Usually swallows can fly 50km/h but top speed is about 200km/h, and they can hovering like hummingbirds.
Only 25% swallows will be back to Japan in the Spring.
Others might be dead by accidents or any other reason.
Anyway, swallows are really amazing birds!

May "皐月" Satsuki
This kanji "Satsuki" literally means "May".
The upper Kanji "Sa" literally means "Rhododendron indicum(Latin name)".
It is a kind of azalea.
The under Kanji "tsuki" literally means "month".
Azalea is unfamiliar flower so we use swallow.
Swallow is the migratory birds of May in Japan.
They come back from Taiwan, the Philippines and Australia in May
and they are busy tending their nests.
Do you know how far from Japan to the Philippines.
It is about 3000km!
Australia is about 7000km!
The swallow can fly 300km per a day. And they fly solo, not flock of swallow.
The swallow is really strong bird!
Amazing!

コリント人への第一の手紙 10章 13節
あなたがたの会った試錬で、世の常でないものはない。
神は真実である。
あなたがたを耐えられないような試錬に会わせることはないばかりか、
試錬と同時に、それに耐えられるように、
のがれる道も備えて下さるのである。
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has taken you except what is common to man.
God is faithful,
who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able,
but will with the temptation also make the way of escape,
that you may be able to endure it.
