Mike,

I guess you're reading Rinko? If not then the current electronic version has an article on this.

Yes Bern, Shunrai = spring thunder, apparently so named from the dark clouds that are in evidence with spring thunderstorms and the comparrisson to the colour and patterning on these fish. (Almost as romantic as Ochiba sigure!)
