SAKURA IN STOCKHOLM

At last here has my love Sakura in Stockholm, Sweden.


Full y bloomed sakura just before falling down.

Pedal of sakura flowers show their innocent beauty without saying any words.

The same Sakura flowers will please next next swedish generations even in 2100.

If only they will not build another new Gallerian in the central Stockholm.


In japan we have kept Sakura trees for hundreds years at the same places around the

old castles,near the rivers , in the villages, side by moutain roads and at the zen temples' garden.

Old Sakura trees in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were burnt completely.



Japanese belives that Sakura trees have their spirits.


We are/ were not afraid of witches like old European,

but we/are were afraid of souls and spirits of Trees.


So peoples do not like to cut old trees in the villages and moutanins , just like BOnsai trees.


Bonsai from 4 or 5 generations' before , still sit

quietly in the modern japanese house next to Computer.


Older trees have more sofisticated shape and finer taste.(ajiwai to omomuki ga aru)

Our grandgrandgrand father used to drink Sake under sakura blossoms in spring

The same sake is still drunk under the same sakura tree, just peoples are different.


The wind blows and pedals flies "Hira hira hira.."

The beauty of the moment that japanese love the most."Setuna teki bi "(the beauty of the moment)

HOw many monthes rest of the year Sakura trees spent all their time and energy to bloom flowers for such a short time?


Pink sakura make us feel "Yasasii Kimochi "(gentle mind)

I receive the love and Yasashii kimochi from Sakura .

Spring has come in northen Europe.

spring has come to Stockholm at last.

Finally I feel fully spring sense after smelling sakura flowers' delicate "Sensai "scent.
