Study notes

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

  • Structure: 青空, read あおぞら, means a clear blue sky.
  • Basic usage: A sky after rain is 雨上がりの青空, while one seen after a long interval is 久しぶりの青空; the preceding phrase supplies the situation.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

  • Blue sky and time information supplied by modifiers
    • 青空 itself does not mean “after rain” or “for the first time in a while.” Those meanings come from 雨上がりの and 久しぶりの.
