Neighbourhood, Tokyo (09 April, 2005)

After the long cold winter, finally spring has come.  Cherry blossoms are the symbol of spring in
Japan.  Pink carpet covers Japan.  People celebrate the new season, people are in happy
spirits, and people make resolutions to turn over a new leaf...  Yes,  spring is the beginning of
the year for Japanese.
I walked about the
neighbourhood to enjoy the
cherry blossom.  Pink, pink,
pink.  Footpaths along a river
are rows of cherry trees-- even
in Tokyo where cements
covers entire land.
Wherever we go, cherry
blossoms welcome us.
This season may be the best.


Spring Has Come
