Akane Gumo (茜雲 - Rosy Cloud)

Akane Gumo

Yesterday, I introduced you to my favorite kind of clouds, 'nyūdō gumo' (入道雲).

I also like some other types of clouds.

For example, I like 'akane gumo' (茜雲 – literally “madder clouds”), which are made by the morning sun or the setting sun.

'Akane' (茜) is a perennial and climbing plant, and its root can become a dark red dye, so this term also means such a color.

Additionally, 'gumo/kumo' (雲) means "cloud."

That is to say, akane gumo are clouds with dark red that you can see at sunrise or sunset.

茜雲

昨日は、私の好きな雲の種類である入道雲を紹介しました。

私は他にも、幾つかの好きな雲があります。

例えば、朝日や夕日によって茜色をした「茜雲」です。

「茜」はつる性の多年生植物ですが、橙色の根を染料にするとやや暗い赤色になることから、そのような色を表します。

また、「雲」は "cloud" を意味します。

すなわち茜雲とは、日の出や日の入りに見ることのできる「暗い赤色をした雲」というわけです。
