Swallow"燕"
I made a "May T-shirt about swallow" yesterday.
I am going to write more about swallows in Japan.
Usually swallows can fly 50km/h but top speed is about 200km/h, and they can hovering like hummingbirds.
Only 25% swallows will be back to Japan in the Spring.
Others might be dead by accidents or any other reason.
Anyway, swallows are really amazing birds!
I will make another T-shirts about swallows tomorrow!

May "皐月" Satsuki
This kanji "Satsuki" literally means "May".
The upper Kanji "Sa" literally means "Rhododendron indicum(Latin name)".
It is a kind of azalea.
The under Kanji "tsuki" literally means "month".
Azalea is unfamiliar flower so we use swallow.
Swallow is the migratory birds of May in Japan.
They come back from Taiwan, the Philippines and Australia in May
and they are busy tending their nests.
Do you know how far from Japan to the Philippines.
It is about 3000km!
Australia is about 7000km!
The swallow can fly 300km per a day. And they fly solo, not flock of swallow.
The swallow is really strong bird!
Amazing!
