Sakura blossoms in Engaku-ji temple


Although spring ought be at its height about this time of year, we have a prolonged spell of cold and harsh weather as if winter had mistakenly turned back again.

In the rainy garden of Engaku-ji, the snow-white blossoms of Sakura are elegantly enduring the cruel and cold weather without being scattered in the ruthless rain and wind.

It is certain that they know when they are destined to blossom and fall.
