Last year the cherry blossoms were at their best at the end of March. I enjoyed those beautiful cherry blossoms in Kunitachi City, Tokyo. There are a lot of cherry trees planted along each side of the Daigaku-Dori . I do not know how old they are. They are very tall and thick, and around the roots of their trunks you can see lovely purple flowers named Orychophragmus violaceus ( hana-daikon ). People in Kunitachi should be proud of those cherry trees. They really take very good care of those cherry trees.
I've just come back from walking along Tamagawa Josui, the man-made waterway. I walked 5000steps. There are also a great many cherry trees along Tamagawa Josui. No cherry trees are in bloom. But all the branches have pink buds. So, they will burst out very soon.
I have ever seen a very,very beautiful and visionary scene in Niigata. It was the day of my daughter's entrance ceremony of Kyoto University--on April 7, 1987. I had to work, had no time to go to Kyoto, and I did not attend the ceremony of course. I stayed in Niigata and was thinking of my daughter.
I suddenly looked out of the window. Then, to my surprise, the spring snow was coming down when the cherry trees were in full bloom. White snow drifting among the beautiful cherry blossoms---words cannot describe the scene.
