The Country, Which Has 4 Seasons...

Japon...

In middle of February, where in the world has blue sky with pink flower (this is not Sakura. This is Ume, prune flower, after this, Sakura happens...) blooming... other than Hawaii or some where in the south...

Well, Japan. Another beauty of the country is that Japan has all the seasons, evenly... And there are flowers every month which blooms... February in Japan is the switching into Spring season. In Japan, we have 1st day of spring as February 3rd. Sure it is... few weeks after, weather was started to feel like spring... It felt never like this in Ohio... or feels like in Paris... Both have very long winter... and pretty dark and depressing... Last time I exprienced Japanese spring was very long time ago.. like maybe 4 or 5 years ago?? It was a true treat for me to feel the spring breath and blue sky in middle of the february... :)

Next week, there will be a special day for girls... Girls Day, Hinamatsuri. March 3rd, is a traditional Japanese holiday for girls... to wish for good health and growth :) My great aunt took me to a beautiful expo on my last day in Japan... Expo, which they have corrected historical Hina-dolles, from 1800s up to day... Really beautiful corrections.. and beautiful history!
