The Ground Becomes Firm After Rain

雨降って地固まる (ame futte ji katamaru)

雨降って地固まる (ame futte ji katamaru): after rain, the ground sets firm. Something goes wrong between people or in a realm, and afterward the ground is firmer than before. The witnesses differ only in the size of the disturbance: a poets' quarrel of the 1620s, turned into a verse at the reconciliation party; a household's hard years in Saikaku; a war, in the telling of Ieyasu after Sekigahara; and in the dictionaries a disturbance of any size, with the quarrel kept at the center. After a storm comes a calm and an argument clears the air are its two English lives.
