梅雨 – Rainy Season

鎌倉 明月院 02a

We have a rainy season every year in Japan.  It arrives first in Okinawa (south) and moves up towards the north.  It usually reaches Tokyo around the beginning of June and lasts for about a month to six weeks.  This is a photo of jizo or a guardian deity of children in Meigetsu-in, Kamakura.
