I attended the monthly ceremony at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine today. The kawazu-zakura along the Shingashi River were in full bloom. Homarezakura had not yet blossomed.

On this trip to Tokushima, I made a point of visiting Mima City's famous Wakimachi Udatsu Townscape. Walking into this historic street, traditional machiya townhouses from the Edo to Meiji periods stand neatly on both sides, and the strong sense of antiquity makes you feel as if you have stepped back in time. The most striking feature is the tall udatsu rising on both sides of the roofs. Originally built as firebreak walls to prevent fires from spreading, they later became symbols of merchants' wealth and status because of the high cost of construction. White plaster walls, black lattice windows, and tiled roofs weave together an elegant streetscape. Strolling slowly along this street, you can not only admire the beauty of traditional architecture but also sense the historical atmosphere of a former commercial town.

The afternoon sunlight perfectly highlights the vibrant vermilion of the pagoda against the clear blue sky. Shot on iPhone 12 (26mm, f/1.6, 1/1453s), capturing the crisp and serene atmosphere of the season.

A spring day in Sakado City, Saitama Prefecture, with Angyo Kan-zakura blooming in profusion. I captured a moment of my daughter laughing happily beneath rows of cherry trees in full bloom. Along with the soft spring light, the scene expresses the gentle passage of spring in Japan.

It's the moment in a spring field blanketed with rapeseed flowers when my daughter, caught up in the joy, tossed her hat into the sky with a gleeful laugh. Wrapped in warm breezes and sunlight, she celebrates the arrival of spring in Japan with her whole being.
