sakuras, with the famous Tower of the Sun at the back
on the branches
満開, mankai
waiting to bloom
sakura trees lining the pathwayBefore I start off this entry about hanami, allow me to say 'yes, I'm finally back. :)'
It has been almost 2 months now since my last entry. And no, of course I'm not giving up this blog. I've been wanting to say (or rather, type?) out a loud ただいま！tadaima! ever since I stepped my foot back into my own sweet room here in Osaka 3 weeks ago. But, I've been just too busy. And I still am! It's just that I finally made up my mind that if I want to post an entry, it's going to be now or never! So, here goes...
The blooming of sakuras is a pretty much awaited event in Japan. Perhaps because it signifies the arriving of Spring after a long, cold winter. Or, perhaps because it's just a culture of their own.
For me, it's the former. And of course, because it's just simply beautiful. And the fact that the full bloom is just merely a few days out of the 365 days a year, only makes one wants to appreciate it more. I don't know why, but just the thought of lying under the sakura trees and setting the mind free feels really nice.
So, if you have the chance, and would like to take your mind off all those workloads clogging up your mind, do take a stroll in the park where sakura trees are blooming. The stress relieving effects can be quite amazing! ;)
