Description
The Ground Becomes Firm After Rain in Japanese is 雨降って地固まる which is read 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. Afterward the ground is firmer than before. The witnesses differ in the size of the disturbance. For one it is a reconciliation party of the 1620s, where Teitoku made a verse of it. In the telling of Ieyasu after Sekigahara, it is a war. In the dictionaries it is a disturbance of any size, with the quarrel kept at the center. Saikaku turns it to irony: in his story a bankrupt arranges to come out richer, and the proverb is his. After a storm comes a calm and an argument clears the air are its two English lives.
We want you to be as happy with the meaning as you are with Master Takase's art. To learn more, visit Philology of 雨降って地固まる.
