For the one who stood out among all of "us".
For the one who did all the things she was able to do in this difficult time.
For the one who really made a difference.
I still can't believe this. I'm too upset to cry, even after a couple of days.

I prefer these tiny ones to the cherries, honestly.

beware of these plasitic flowers overhead.
In a very plastic suburban area of Tokyo.
When I saw this film the other day, there was a moment when I was strongly reminded of these "plastic flowers", though you might not know why until you actually see the film (i.e, they haven't got a still photo of the scene on the website).

The double-flowered cherry is different from the most popular kind (somei-yoshino as I posted earlier this month) and their blossoms come out a week or two later than somei-yoshino.
There are some kinds of double-flowered cherries, and this one is slightly green.

A big branch of a plum tree and some cherry blossoms in the background.
Prunus mume, or ume in Japanese, is plum. They bloom a few weeks earlier than cherries (sakura). This tree had almost finished its blossom season.
The most famous image of ume is, I believe, the one by a painter/designer Ogata Korin. I searched of an image or two and found this and this.
I am always amazed by how Korin captured the strength of this tree, especially the solid branches.
And I tried to capture the Korin-ish image with my compact camera, and didn't do very well.

This resembles a plum blossom (ume), but this is boke in Japanese, and an on-line dictionary tells me it's "chaenomeles speciosa," which I can barely read.
