End of Ume Plum Rain With rain that comes and goes suddenly The sound of thunder breaking through the sky When your heart is rough and you want to go out for a change of pace A rain woman who gets such weather only At a temple in Kamakura where water streams Peering into a floating water pool of hydrangeas The world that can be seen through the gaps in the flowers It was shaking very quietly

It is said to be the best bloom in the last 20 years I have seen the Ume Plum of "Kazahaya no Sato". As you can see. If you don't see it, it's a loss! Tsu City, Mie Prefecture Prefecture "Kazahaya no Sato" 2025/3/8
