Mejiro Oshi

Today I will talk about the Japanese term "mejiro oshi."

"Mejiro" means "Japanese white-eye," "oshi" means "to push," and "Mejiro oshi" means that many people or things get crowded.

This word comes from the habit of the bird "mejiro" (Japanese white-eye).

"Mejiro" lines up without gaps on a tree branch from autumn to winter.

That scene is called "mejiro no oshiai" (pushing by mejiro).

Also, a play that children push each other while lining up came to be called "mejiro oshi," then it came to have the current meaning.

Incidentally, "me" of "mejiro" means "eyes," and "jiro" means "white."

The etymology is that they have white circles around their eyes.

目白押し

今日は「目白押し」という言葉を紹介します。

「目白押し」は、多くの人や物が混み合ってならぶことを表す言葉です。

この言葉は、小鳥のメジロの習性に由来します。

メジロは秋から冬にかけて、木の上に押し合うように並んで止まります。

このようすを、「目白の押し合い」と呼んでいました。

そして、子どもが一列に並んで押し合う遊びを「目白押し」と呼ぶようになり、現在の意味を持つようになりました。

ちなみに、メジロは目の周りが白いからそのような名前になりました。

たくさんの目白が押し合う光景を想像してみました。とても可愛いシーンですね。子供たちの目白押しも可愛いです(●´ー｀●) ちなみに、目白は台湾で「綠繡眼」と呼ばれています。緑色の体と白ふちで囲まれる目を持っているからです。
