What is Roka? BJWotD#14

Beautiful Japanese Word of the Day #14

露花 (Roka)




"Roka refers to a flower dampened from the dew"


露 (tsuyu) means dew in Japanese


花 (hana/ka) means flower in Japanese


Often seen in the morning when flowers are dressed in water droplets.



Writer’s note: I wonder if there are other words in another language that means the same thing. Japan has oddly specific words. I love it.
