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".
