Hiding in the Leaves - Hagakure
葉隠れ is the Japanese word hagakure, which means “hidden in the leaves.”
葉隠れ is also used as a semi-idiom to mean “doing good deeds without calling attention to oneself.”
Leaf
葉子 is the Chinese word for leaf, leaves, or foliage.
In Japan, this is the female given name, Kyōko.
茶 means tea. It can refer to prepared tea (ready-to-drink) or dry tea leaves.
The origin of tea is China but the same character is used in Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja with the exact same meaning. Japanese and Korean even borrowed the pronunciation from Chinese (pronounced “cha” in all three languages).
It's said that an early doctor (or herbologist) in ancient China kept poisoning himself as he tried different new herb concoctions. He invented tea as a means to detoxify himself as he recovered from 1 of the 76 times he nearly poisoned himself to death. Tea is seen not just as a drink but as a form of medicine used to remove impurities from the body.
The word “chai” (used in many languages to refer to various teas) is derived from this Chinese word.
茶 also means camellia, as Asian teas are often based on the leaves of camellia plant varieties.
Red Leaves of Autumn
This refers to the red autumnal leaves or autumn colors.
You can also say fall colors, leaves changing color, or leaves turning red.
The characters themselves mean red leaves. The rest of the meaning is implied and understood to include autumn and the fact that they are changing.
