Its star words are limpidity and distance. The companion color is Kusairo (#7B8D42), a grassy green whose color word is a shade tree — somewhere to rest your eyes while ancient light arrives.
On January 10 the birthday fish is the Pacific bluefin tuna, a true heavyweight whose landings still stir a harbor with excitement, so it is said.
