Ume and Snow: Jan 28, 2018


The flowers of Ume (Japanese apricot) started to open.

I walked in the Hanegi Park in Setagaya ward and looked the scenes at the beginning of the Ume blossom season.

Tokyo had a snow about a week a go (Jan 22). It remained on the ground.

The combination of Ume and snow has been often described in the poems, drawings and other art works in the country. It is very Japanese.
