Yama-zakura (Prunus jamasakura) blossoms: Genji-yama (Kita-kamakura)
In the true height of spring, with the help of a rapid rise of temperature, every living thing awakens suddenly from its long quiet sleep and this season of tireless resurgence starts with very hurried steps.
Diverse spring flowers burst into bloom in the twinkling of an eye and a variety of new leaves quickly appear in one breath. In concert with this lively transformation, birds begin twittering their love songs to chant the joy of spring.
The enchantment of this jubilant season silently arouses the lusty vital force of all living things that are interconnected with each other.
Cherry blossoms: Engaku-ji
When I look at a flower, I often feel like seeing a beautiful but fragile illusion which has no physical reality. Because a flower must vanish away soon after it blooms, most likely I can never find the current flower right in front of me once again.
A flower transiently blooms just once in this world and I encounter such a flower only once in my lifetime.
