I took this photo at Kita Asaba Sakura Zutsumi in Saitama, where I celebrated the arrival of spring on the day of the vernal equinox. In my country, we celebrate this time with natural colors and spend time with loved ones. The ritual symbolizes how nature becomes colorful at this time of the year, and so we celebrate it. In Japan, people also enjoy this season with their loved ones. While I was there, I saw a mother and her daughter with their family, having a great time and taking photos as memories. This entire scene reminded me of my childhood, when my mother also embraced me with the same emotion that is reflected in this image.

From March 3rd, the work of lowering the boat (unloading the boat) was carried out, and on the 9th, the scallop fishing ground was created, and on the 16th, the horsehair crab basket fishing began. It is the dawn of the sea of Yumu. The creation of scallop fishing grounds is an important work to raise the fields in order to salvage the fish that could not be caught during last year's fishing season and to prepare for aquaculture from May. We haven't finished putting all the baskets for horsehair crab fishing, but the first day's catch was 4350 kg! More fish are landed than last year. Continuing from last year, it seems that there are more medium-sized and large crabs than small ones, and the initial price is about 3,000 yen higher per kilogram than last year, and the beach is crowded. There are still drift ice off the coast. We wish you a safe operation.
