Sakura in Silent Spring

2011.04.18
pixel
We call cherry blossoms 'sakura'.
pixel
Japanese people have been looking forward to viewing sakura for more than one thousand years. Sakura is very special for us Japanese.
pixel
The blossoms symbolize many things such as the beginning of spring, rebirth, innocence, purity, a kind of melancholy, short human life, fragility and so on.

Thanks for your warm comments, my PB friends !!

The situation at the nuclear plant in Fukushima has not changed for the better since March 11, but our daily life around Tokyo has been getting better gradually.

I coudn't enjoy taking pictures of spring so much this year but spring in Japan is really beautiful. Please visit Japan next year !! (^^)

Jothindra We all know how bad the situation is there in Japan. But your optimism is to be appreciated. And knowing you people, we're all dead sure that you will bounce back to your original glory in a short while, YokaI!
