Horsetails lined up basking in the sun on the Spring bank. The nostalgic Scenery that I competed with when I was a child comes back to life.

You can relax and work as you feel like you are strolling through the fields and mountains of Spring.
This is a coloring book that can be used for recreation, nursing care facilities, day services, and brain training for the elderly. You can print for free in A4 size.

Meet the horsetail shoots

The horsetail shoot — tsukushi — pushes up through the spring soil on a pale, jointed stem topped with a little brown head. It's a small, nostalgic sign of spring that children love to find. The simple upright shape is easy to color.
