4月6日(shigatsu muika): April 6

It was warm today.
The cherry blossoms in Tokyo are full in bloom. There have been so many sad things in Japan these days, people tend to walk looking down. Many people did not realize that spring has come.
We really like to see cherry blossoms. Tonight I watched the NHK TV program called Historia. Today's program was all related to cherry blossoms. The history of viewing cherry blossoms since Heian (平安) era, 8th century, the biggest cherry blossoms viewing party at the civil war era in 16th century, the story of cherry blossoms of Washington DC, and so on.
The following program was titled "Songs." In this program the songs related to cherry blossoms were also featured.
I hope you have a chance to come to Japan in this season to see the beautiful cherry blossoms.
