Can you read? "Gencho Itaru"



 

 

 

 





“Gencho” is a swallow. Swallow is usually written as ``Swallow'', but it is also written as ``Gencho''.

 

 

April is here, and the swallows, migratory birds, arrive. Before you know it, the parent bird is building a nest under the eaves of a house and is busy bringing food to the young swallows, a sight that gives you a sense of spring.

 



Itaru Gencho = Tsubamekitaru

The 72nd lord, Gencho Itaru, is read as Swallow.

 

Twenty-four solar terms: Qingming
Seventy-two: Itaru Gencho
Period: May 4th to May 4th
