Ume blossoms of the zen temple
Today is 'the first day of spring' according to the calendar.
But it was a very cold day and I feel as if I were in the refrigerator.
In the evening, I went for a walk as usual and I felt warm after the walk.
While taking a walk, I found a bulletin board whose words were newly written by the gate of a zen temple.
The meaning of the words is ' Everyone looks good when he(she) is young. Everyone(someone?) becomes beautiful when he(she) gets old .'
Will I be able to become a beautiful woman !
There is a ume tree called fling ume trees(Tobi ume,飛梅).
Do you know the legend of fling ume trees ?
In Heian era , Some ume trees took after 菅原道真 from 京都 to 大宰府.
But, A ume tree of fring ume trees gave up taking after halfway and got down in 誓願寺.
It's an interesting story.
