Cherry trees along Takano-gawa.
Note
From the end of March to mid-April
In a spring,
we can enjoy wonderful spectacle of cherry blossoms along
Kamo-gawa river and Takano-gawa river.
Walking or cycling along the rivers,
under a clear blue sky,
in spring fresh winds,
sometimes looking up at lines of cherry trees in bloom,
I feel refreshed and get new energy for new seasons
after hard winter times of suffering influenza
and early spring days of hay fever.
Oh, I get new lies for new seasons, too.
In a morning, a man was fishing at Kamo-gawa river before going to work.
In the moment he fished a big fish unknown, lines of cherry trees in bloom began a precision dance. He was so much surprised that he let the fish go in spite of himself. Then, the dance stopped.
He told this experience to his friends and families, but they didn't believe him. So, to fish that fish again and record a precision dance of cherry trees with a video camera, he made it his custom to go fishing at Kamo-gawa every morning.
Will you see a precision dance of cherry trees?
Note
From the end of March to mid-April
