June is the month when warm rain moistens the earth. Plants grow rapidly with each rain, as if celebrating the arrival of the rainy season. Enjoy the various natural colors that can only be experienced at this time of year, such as the shining green of plants wet with rain, the colorful hydrangeas, and the various grayish colors of rain clouds, while keeping in mind this time of year when you dye and weave.
