Japanese April: SAKURA



April brings Sakura to Japan. Cherry trees on street are naturally dressed with white-pinky colours of flowers. Flower blossoms are in size of a snow flake, large one. Sakura covers trees like snow. Withing a week or two, Sakura flowers fall down one by one and her leaves emerge by then.
Soft and delicate pieces of Sakura swirl around and dance. Pretty yet short life for what called the worst month in other temperate climate regions is the fate of Sakura.
Does Samura relate to Sakura?, yes like a span of life they both pass.
Cherishing the season, I enjoyed a whole sunny Sunday in Shukugawa river area.


Even at night, Sakura viewing (hamani in Japanese) lights up your mind and emotion:) Oji zoo is a great place to enjoy lighted sakura!
