  Comments: 
A kinda funny word – the similar/related (and simpler) 青雲（せいうん） and 青雲（あおくも） also have the literal sense of “blue (-ish) cloud” but also “blue sky” (presumably from reflection).
Use “azure” as it’s more evocative and poetic-sounding (corresponding to old, complicated kanji).
Saw in a garden name.
