Japan in Japanese is like this: 日本 "Nihon".
日 This figure (kanji) represents the sun and also means day.
It is pronounced "Ni" in this case.
本 This one is a tree with its roots. It means roots but also origin (roots are the origin of the tree), and book.
It is pronounced "Hon" in this case.
Nihon= The origin of the sun or day.
In the tourist brochures of the rest of the world: "The land of the rising sun".
In Japan it dawns at three-thirty in the summer.
When I was young I only saw sunrises after a night of "fiesta" haha.
Now I do not sleep as much as before...
And sometimes I take walks at that time.
Perhaps the most beautyful moment.
Thoughts are new and optimistic.
Common and gray places are transformed by intense colors and deep perspectives.
Last Saturday I was enjoying the cool night with my friends until very late, dawn surprised us... and I returned home from the city enjoying a magical bike ride.
