Samidare Shiki
In my post yesterday, I introduced the term samidare (五月雨), which means a light rain that lasts for a long term in the rainy season.
There is another idiom that uses the term 'samidare': samidare shiki (五月雨式/さみだれ式), with the addition of shiki (式) meaning "manner."
Samidare shiki means that something does not end at once and continues for a long time in an intermittent manner.
This idiom compares the intermittent and long-lasting nature of something to the rain in the rainy season.

五月雨式
昨日は「梅雨の時期に長く降る小雨」を意味する「五月雨」という言葉を紹介しました。
「五月雨」を使った熟語に、"manner" を意味する「式」をつけた「五月雨式」があります。
「五月雨式」は、物事が一度で終わらず、断続的に長々と続くことを表します。
断続的に長々と続く様子を、梅雨の時期に降る雨（五月雨）になぞらえているというわけです。
