The Ground Becomes Firm After Rain in Japanese is 雨降って地固まる which is read ame futte ji katamaru

The Japanese proverb “ame futte ji katamaru” meaning “adversity builds character” literally translates as “The ground becomes firm after rain”.

Some sources, though we strongly disagree, try and equate this saying to “Calm after a Storm” or “An argument clears away bad feelings between people” though we disagree with these comparisons.
