Summer Kanji - Natsu
This years summer solstice will be on June 20th in the Northern Hemisphere. When I asked “What do YOU want to know about Tokyo?”, Chandra from The Boston Traveler asked me to share some “incredibly beautiful” Kanji, the characters used in the Japanese Language. Your wish is my command, Chandra!
In honor of the summer solstice here the Kanji for summer or natsu:. 
The three hallmarks of summer in Japan are the yukata (summer kimono), furin (wind chimes), and hanabi (fireworks).
Check out some more beautiful interpretations of the natsu kanji and others at Kanju-4u.

Yay!!! Thank you, Shane — I love it!
And thanks also for the link to the Kanji 4 U blog. I just subscribed to the feed, so now I have two great blogs to follow for all things Japan and Japanese.

I love the kanji too, Chandra. I see a lot of beautiful examples and will have to work harder to translate them so that I can share them here.
I’m always scared to put one up only to find out that it’s not appropriate ;)
