Shinryoku

Shinryoku means "new green", a noun that expresses the color or phenomena of the trees of this season. From the end of spring to early summer, tree leaves turn into light and juicy green color. A polite way of saying hi will be:
"It is now the season of Shinryoku..."
(Shinryoku no kisetsu ni narimashita)
