こどもの日

2015.5.5  竹林便り 

5月の風に颯爽とそよぐ 鯉幟(こいのぼり)

明日は「立夏」 春から初夏へ

駆け足の春に急かされて

威勢よく飛び出したのは 淡竹の兜頭

スクスクと育ちゆけ! 見守る親たちの眩しい眼差し

Children's Day

Some carp-shaped streamers were waving lightly in the May winds.
Tomorrow is the day called "Rikka" in Japan. It is the first day of summer in the lunar calender.
The seasons shift from spring to summer.
A bamboo shoot of Hachiku sprouted earlier than usual this year.
The sprout may have been hurried by a trot spring.
On the Children's Day(that is to say Boy's Festival) we celebrate boy's growth.
