lush.

Hello, this is Harada.

It's finally here.
Golden Week is coming.

If the calendar goes according to the calendar, it will be a consecutive holiday starting next Wednesday.
Some people have long holidays starting tomorrow, the 29th, at the earliest.
I'm sure there are some.



Know the arrival of spring with the blooming of cherry blossoms
When the cherry blossoms finish falling
This time, rain and sunshine will repeat, and the temperature will gradually rise.
The leaves on the trees begin to grow green all at once.
We are entering the season of fresh greenery.

"The lush leaves of the trees..."

About expressing green things as blue
I've always wondered this more than before
On a TV program the other day, people from other countries
I'm wondering, "Why is the green color of traffic lights called blue in Japan?"
I was also curious about the reason, and was hooked on the program.

In Japan, since ancient times, during the Nara and Heian periods,
There are only four words to describe colors: black, white, red, and blue.
It seems that all the colors that can be seen are expressed with these four.

Green apples, green juice, green seaweed, etc.
Even today, there are many remnants of the days when green was expressed as blue.
The same reason applies to traffic lights.

In the case of traffic lights
It seems that the law requires it to be called a "green light."
It seems that the pre-war law required it to be expressed as a "green light".
Because many people continued to call it a "green light"
According to post-war legislation, it was decided to use the expression "green light" again.



Now, this flower
Every year during Golden Week in our garden
A dogwood tree in full bloom.

Dogwood is a deciduous tree with beautiful deep red leaves in autumn.
Flowers bloom once a year, only in the spring season.
Among the trees planted in the garden
It is also the tree that I am most looking forward to blooming.

The flowers of this tree make you feel warm spring.
You naturally become more open-minded and more active.


here we go
All I care about is tomorrow
Weather during Golden Week.
According to the weather forecast
There are many sunny days, and the temperature is warmer than 20 degrees.
It looks pretty good, doesn't it?

Riders who like motorcycles and leather jackets endure the cold of midwinter.
I'm sure you've been looking forward to the warmer spring season.
If that happens, I won't be able to act like an adult anymore.


Calm and refreshing climate

Fresh green nature, motorcycles, leather jackets, and friends
Being able to make time to fully face each other
After all, throughout the year
There is no other place other than Golden Week.


Are you all ready to go out? !
