Coming soon, snow white pieces Ⅱ



The cherry blossoms bloom basically from the last week of March to the beginning week of April.
It is about 1 week from flowering to falling.

The opening changes by the climate of the year.





Southland blooms a little earlier from the middle of March. North has a place to bloom until the beginning of May.
This is a map of cherry blossoms.

It is only several days in the chance of the photograph.



Short flowering periods think me to be the cause why cherry blossoms are loved.
The human being is born and must do pass away immediately.
The people of my country may superimpose it on one's fate.
It is also the spirit of Zen, "
void (Kū)".

This "one" week is covered in the Far East most happily in year.
We are waiting for the day with you all.




世の中に絶えて桜のなかりせば 春の心はのどけからまし
 
在原業平 (Ariwara no Narihira), 古今和歌集 (Kokin Wakashū)
If there are not cherry blossoms at all in the world, the heart of the spring will be quiet leisurely.
(The feeling that cherry blossoms are impatient for is expressed ironically.)

  4. Hi Ruma! Cherry trees are unprecedentedly beautiful, and you show it well with your photographs. In my hometown of Khabarovsk (Russian Far East), there are several of them growing in front of the State Medical College. They've been there for a long time. All the residents admire their spring blooms and call the plants Japanese Cherry trees. Have a Healthy and Happy New Year!

  5. I wanted people all over the world to respect trees as much our Japanese brothers do.

  6. ¡¡¡¡¡Heeeeee, RUMA, una pregunta, ¿Qué estación es en estos momentos por Oriente, primavera tal vez? Y la otra, ¿es ahora el momento en que el cerezo florece por ay?
    Un saludo RUMA y FELIZ AÑO 2010.


    ¡¡¡¡¡ Heeeeee、ルーマ、質問は、"どの駅の東に存在するのは、たぶん春?そして、他の現在の時間ですが災いして、桜の花?
    ルーマ挨拶や新年あけましておめでとうございます2010。

  8. Qué belleza. Las flores del cerezo engalanan regiamente los campos. Y aquí, en mi tierra, como preludio de la primavera, florecerán los almendros, y los campos se vestirán de blanco, como vestidos de novia.

    Un abrazo, Ruma.

    In Japan the New Year will arrive 8 hours before Italy and 14 hours before New York City. Just because of it, NIHON (THE RISING SUN) is the most modern Country in the world.

  29. Harusame no ko shita ni tsutau shizuku kana.

    ¡Ah, la lluvia de primavera!
    Las gotas de agua recorren
    los árboles hasta abajo.

    El amor por el cerezo veo que es universal, pero para vosotros que vivís en comunión con la naturaleza por siglos, lo sentís mucho más que nosotros.

    Hay una terapia con flores, llamada Flores de Bach, y el cerezo silvestre forma parte de estas 38 flores que curan los estados emocionales negativos :)

    Fluir, fluir en el Tao, en pura armonía con él...
    Desde ese fluir ¡Feliz Año 2010! :)

    Un abrazo desde Asturias y de una asturiana que se comunica desde el espíritu con oriente, el lejano oriente... ¡Gracias!
