Looks like a great day, sadly my only exercise is chasing my boat around the lake 

[Backerther]

It's a very fantastic, effective, interesting and happy way of exercising with less stress and heavy burden as it means a co-existence between boating and walking.
In my case, all that I do when operating Rc boats is only standing on the shore regardless of the seasons.
The shore is ....hot...or cold...

It was very very fine day thanks to warm, partially hot temperature for this season of spring here in Japan.
The temperature around our local district reached around 25 degrees C by which cherry blossom became in full bloom.!!
A cherry blossom is highly sensitive to the temperature and reacted so quickly to it yesterday.
So many people came out to our local large park to enjoy the cherry now in full bloom different from the previous day.!!
As you may possibly know, a Japanese is abnormally, exceedingly, extremely and extraordinarily loves the cherry blossom.
In such circumstances, I also went to the park to see how the people enjoys the cherry blossom under the cherry trees.


The people in the pics may seem to prefer drinking and eating to enjoying the cherry, mayn't they...???
Enjoy the Japanese cherry blossom sufficiently by these pics at your room.!!!!
I wonder how you would enjoy the spring coming around you warmly....???

Hi,really great. The cherry blosoms at our flat are gone already, we had a warm March.... it wwas anyway just one tree 
I remember the cherry blossom 'hype' from 1994 when I stayed a few weeks in Japan for experiments. Exactly like your photos, but probably with their parents or granparents instead.

Thanks for sharing itJoerg

Thank you Martin for an interesting video of the cherry blossom of Japan that represented vivid scenes and impressions of
the cherry blossom of Japan.

I suppose JoJoElbe must have known very much of the blossom through staying in Japan for a certain experiments.
Please remember Japan when you see the cherry in every spring.  

However,!!! the cherry blossom around my home already has started to fall piece by piece slowly...
To make the matter worse, it will be rainy tomorrow by which much of the blossom will fall to the wet ground where might
be covered with a huge amount of petals.... 　

See you again cherry blossom ! in next spring...Thanks a lot for this year    !!!

Please remember Japan when you see the cherry in every spring.    

Don't worry I do. I bought a knife  (from a hawker) on a flea market in Kyoto in 1994, basic steel, still works perfect and sharp in my kitchen.I even have one of those old glass bottles with the ball inside to close it under pressure.

... and besides, I have a colleague the next room who is half japanese (but lifes in germany almost all his life).Best,Joerg

They all are quality Japanese products like you do have Solingen quality, one of which I still have is Solingen nail clippers.
It is still so sharp and great enough to clip my so hard the foot nails easily. I have been using it more than 36 years.

Hi all,
It's a very hot day reaching 35 degrees C but fine with breeze here at my town in Tokyo.
I am living near a shrine with an approach roughly over 100 yards and a bit lively here today unlike usual days...
It's the festival day based on the Shintoism in the town and a small parade was carried out here bustlingly.
A parade was composed of a drum carriage towed by many children and two miniature shrines in which one is supported by children while by adult.
The supporters of the miniature shrines were shouting loudly and repeatedly "wasshoy!, wasshoy!, wasshoy!..."under the leader's control who was also blowing a whistle like "pi'ppi,pi'ppi,pi'ppi..."lively to conduct the wasshoy in front of the shrine.
Ahead of the miniature shrines, a tiny drum carriage was being towed by many children accompanied by their parents pulling the rope. The parade stops at several points to take rest for some time when many children were gifted some foods and drinks that were their final aims, needless to say.

This kind of scenes are normally seen at many towns across the country in August and September.
This kind of scene, regardless of the scales, is one of typical traditions in Japan's autumn.

Great photos... Thanks for sharing !

Thanks for your comment.!!

1; The "conductor"is doing his job as blowing cheerfully the whisle"pi'ppi pi'ppi pi'ppi..."
2/3; In the intervals of the parade, the children soon went to the festival staffs to get foods and drinks cheerfully..
After the parade to spend normally about 4 hours or so, children mostly with their mothers left there with large pouches on their hands full of foods and drinks.
This was the really happy day for everyone, wasn't it..??


Today is the national holiday to respect the old.
