Pink Moon

　Entrance ceremonies were held at many private universities across Kyoto, with students dressed in black suits striding confidently about.

　The Pink Moon seemed to be welcoming these fresh-faced students. It is not that the moon actually appears pink; rather, the name comes from the fact that it coincides with the season when moss phlox is in bloom.

　The weather in Kyoto is set to remain fine until tomorrow, but it is forecast to turn unsettled from Wednesday. The cherry blossoms will be at their peak until this weekend.
