Nagi returns for a third time on January 17, paired with Moegiiro (#006E54) and the color word clear water. Peace and protection are still the tree's hanakotoba, with January to February still the peak. But a saturated blue-green gives the date a cooler, more open feel than its earlier appearances: the same broad canopy, with sky showing through it.
Naos is simply the Greek word for 'ship' — and the star itself is extraordinary: a blue supergiant in Puppis, magnitude 2.21, with a surface temperature among the highest of any star visible to the naked eye. On January 17 it reaches its midnight culmination in the south. Its star words are swiftness and odyssey. Sharing the date is Moegiiro (#006E54), a deep sprout-green whose color word is clear water. Scorching blue sail, transparent green sea: the day's voyage in two colors.
