Haru-Niban, the second wind of spring 春二番

 Cold winter days continue in most part of Japan, but small signs of warm spring are everywhere: tiny buds on tree branches, and worms coming out of the ground. Repeated Rain and wind invite the next season.まだまだ寒い冬日が続きます。でも、暖かい春の兆しはあちこちに出始めました。枝に小さな蕾、啓蟄。度々の風と雨が次に季節を招きます。
