Re: Trees and forests

The linked article explains:

Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku, is a wellness trend for relaxing and reconnecting with nature.

Google Translate tells me that shinrin-yoku is a transliteration of 森林ーよく, which is translated as “forest-well”.

I tried that but could not get exactly the same result.

Can you explain what you did please?

I am thinking of trying to produce a prtrait format picture with the characters in the upper-left corner, as there ar some fonts that might contain the characters bundled with Windows 10.

I went to Google Translate, set it to ‘Detect Language’ and to translate into English, typed or pasted shinrin-yoku and got this.

The Meiryo (sans-serif) and MS Mincho (serif) font families have been supplied with Windows ‘forever’.
