Fox Wedding? 🦊 Rain in the Sunshine ☀️☔ 日本は　梅雨（つゆ）のころでしょうか。私の住む イギリスでは、むしむし（humid) することは、あまり　ありません。今日は、てんきに　かんする　日本の　ことばです。 きつねの　よめいり　（Kitsune no yomeiri) = Fox Wedding Today, I want to share a unique Japanese expression. In the UK, foxes are often seen as pests. But in Japan, they are actually considered sacred and magical animal, otten appear in the folktales. Have you ever seen it rain while the sun is shining? In Japan, we call this phenomenon "Kitsune no Yomeiri". Old Japanese folklore says that foxes hold their secret wedding processions during these sunshowers, using the magical rain to hide from human eyes. Here is a lovely children's book by Niimi Nankichi, 'Tebukuro o kaini'. So heartwarming ♡♡♡
