Black-faced bunting, It breeds in southern Siberia across to northern China and northern Japan. It is migratory, wintering in northeast India, southern China and northern southeast Asia. It is a very rare wanderer to western Europe.
In ancient Japan, we had a culture that a female fortune-teller of the policy used a small bird.
Because the canister calm used this Bunting for fortune-telling, so the name of this bird in the Middle Ages was "Shitoto"or"Shitodo" related a Shinto ritual.
"Shitodo" or "Ji" is meaning Bunting. At present, this bird is called "Ao Ji" that means "Blue-faced Shitodo"
In the old Japanese, we called the color of Green "Blue"
