"The First Lotus Blossoms"

From today July 12 to July 16 is Japan's microseason 32: hasu hajimete hiraku (蓮始開), the time of year when the lotus blossoms early in the morning while the air is still cool. As the heat intensifies throughout the day the blossom closes up. The lotus flower has always been associated with divinity, perhaps because of its unparalleled beauty and how it often grows from muddy waters.

There is a saying in Japan: the lotus blossoms from the mud and remains unstained from the mud (ハスは泥より出でて泥に染まらず). This is actually true. The lotus effect refers to self-cleaning properties of the lotus that are a result of the nanoscopic architecture of the plant's surface that resists dirt particles. We're feeling inspired this week from the ability of the lotus to shine brightly and beautifully in a world the feels particularly ugly right now.
