Word of the Week 15

Word of the Week: Week 15

 

For this week, the word of the week is:

たけ
(take)

Bamboo

The Kun-Yomi of 竹 is たけ (take). While the On-Yomi is ちく (chiku).

Last 2019, I went to one of Japan’s famous tourist spots, the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove in Kyoto. The bamboo grove is a natural forest, and they really did a great job of preserving the place. It's so beautiful though there were too many tourists, and I cannot get a nice shot but just seeing how beautiful the bamboo grove, it’s a great experience. I will be sharing some photos below.
