rain to the real spring time

My original idea is that the blog I edit would be
not only for the Japanese friends,
but also for the friends in the other continents.

It is really amazing what we could do today
with the technology of internet.
The earth definitely has become smaller.

The time is Lent.
The Easter is still quite far this year.
Without hearing the joyful greeting of Easter,
I cannot feel that spring has come indeed.

The symbol of Japanese spring time
is cherry blossoms, sakra.

They came very fast this year,
and now they are already going to.

The rain which falls the petals of sakra
is called "hana-chirashi-no-ame".



The hana-chirashi-no-ame today
is another step forward to
the real spring time.
