Green breezesakushi: shimizu katsura / sakkyoku: kusakawa shin
A children’s song depicting a spring scene, created by the famed duo Katsura Shimizu (lyrics) and Shin Kusakawa (music).
It features tranquil lyrics and a bright melody, and was first broadcast on NHK Radio in January 1948.
It portrays gentle, everyday images such as butterflies, pea blossoms, and a mother bird in a nest box.
Released during the postwar reconstruction period, it has been cherished by many as a symbol of a new era.
Its enduring appeal continues today, having been used in an Asahi Kasei Homes commercial in 2006 and in part for a Taisho Pharmaceutical commercial in 2019.
It’s a perfect song for children embarking on a fresh start with the arrival of spring.

Do you remember holding hands with your friends and playing this game—spreading out and coming together—while singing this song? It’s a short tune with a Japanese minor-key melody, and it brings to mind a wide field filled with white Chinese milk vetch blossoms.
Making flower crowns, searching for four-leaf clovers—Chinese milk vetch is another indispensable flower of spring.

The classical-style lyrics are also wonderful and really cool!
