Hi all ! こんにちは
Flowering dogwood is called ハナミズキ(花水木) hanamizuki
花水木 consisted of three Kanji characters.
花 はな hana = flower
水 みず mizu = water
木 き ki = tree
水 also means Wednesday 水曜日 すいようび suiyoubi
木 also means Thursday 木曜日 もくようび mokuyoubi
“水” and “木” come from pictograph.
“木” looks like a tree, isn’t it?
Have a wonderful week!
