About this book

Cozy Japan Vol. 9: Rainy Days & Hydrangeas — Bold & Easy Coloring Book

Open an umbrella, splash through the puddles, and spend a gentle rainy day in Japan — one cozy page at a time!

This ninth volume is all about Japan's rainy season: hydrangea bushes in full bloom and rain ripples on a temple pond, teru teru bozu dolls hanging under the eaves, polka-dot umbrellas and shining wet shopping streets, long boots made for puddle jumping, hot cocoa and storybooks on a stay-at-home rainy afternoon, frogs and snails coming out to play — and double rainbows and lantern light after the rain.

All 100 pictures are brand new — nothing is repeated from Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol. 3, Vol. 4, Vol. 5, Vol. 6, Vol. 7 or Vol. 8. Every picture is drawn with bold, thick lines and big, simple shapes — no tiny details, no stress. The rainy-season scenes are drawn bright on white paper, so you can color the hydrangeas in any colors you love — purple, blue, pink or white. Perfect for beginners, kids, seniors, and anyone who colors to relax and unwind.

Learn Japanese while you color! Every picture shows its English name, its Japanese name, and how to pronounce it. By the last page you will know 100 rainy-season words — ajisai, teruteru bozu, nagagutsu, mizutamari, kaeru and more — without even trying.

Find the tiny frog! One tiny frog keeps appearing all through the book — on a hydrangea leaf, under a shop awning, on the windowsill, on a garden stone, and sleeping on a leaf. It appears on 7 pages. Can you spot it every time?
