Hi！NOVA池袋西口校です☺
本日はJoe先生が“花“についての英語の言葉を教えてくれました🌷
The Language of Flowers
One of my favorite things about Japan is the wonderful variety of beautiful plants and flowers you can find. I love the language of flowers (“hanakotoba“) and what each flower signifies. With each passing season I look forward to seeing all the different new flowers bloom and appreciating their meaning.
In March I felt lucky to see Cherry Blossoms (Sakura) blowing around Shinjuku Gyoen in the wind. Cherry Blossoms are said to express kindness, gentleness and transcience.
Last month I enjoyed the Moss Phlox (Shibazakura) displays in Hitsujiyama Park in Chichibu. All the different shades of pink were super beautiful! Moss Phlox are said to represent harmony, partnership and unity.
Rainy season will arrive in Japan soon which means I can see some of my favorite flowers, Hydrangea (Ajisai). Last year I visited the long road filled with thousands of blue, purple and pink Hydrangea next to Asukayama Park. If possible, I would love to visit Meigetsu-in in Kamakura this year. Hydrangea represent pride.
Here are some more of my favorite flowers you can find in Japan with their names and meanings in English. What ones do you like the most?
・Azalea (Tsutsuji) – Patience and modesty
・Forget-me-not (Wasurenagusa) – True love
・White Lily (Shirayuri) – Purity
・Tiger Lily (Oniyuri) – Wealth
・Sunflower (Himawari) – Radiance and respect
・Lotus (Renge) – Purity and distance
・Peony (Botan) – Bravery
・Violet (Sumire) – Honesty
