KANJI – blue spring

When I was in Australia, I once saw an old lady wearing a t-shirt with big KANJI(Japanese character) on it.

It was so funny because it said 青春(sei shun).

The meaning of 青(ao/sei) is blue, and 春（haru/shun) is spring.

青春(seishun) means the spring time of life, or in other words youth.

I told the meaning to the lady then she was laughing and said she never knew the meaning .  She was just wearing it because her son bought it from Japan as a souvenir.  And said to me never to tell anyone else in this town of what it meant.
