Around mid-September, the swallows that arrive with the arrival of spring return to the warmer south. Gencho is another name for swallow, derived from the word "gen" which means black.
Swallows, which build nests, bring food to their children, and raise their children together, have been symbols of happy families and good fortune since ancient times. It is said that the places where swallows build their nests are prosperous.
Genchou = Tsubamesaru
