“サトリの森” ～ Forever

In Japan, the four seasons are very distinct. Each season offers us the beauty of nature. As for me, spring is my favourite. During winter, I can't wait for spring to come. Then spring comes along. I already start waiting the return of spring when it's gone. Why do I love it so much? It may be because I am so excited about touching of spring through flowers and fresh greenery in the air. And I feel earth is full of food. Indian lettuce, Horsetail, Dandelions, Itadoris (or Japanese knot weed), Mugwort and so on. But after all, I can tell you how much I feel I am lucky to have been born as Japanese when I have a Ohanami party or flower viewing party under the splendid cherry blossoms. (near our house) I found that Japanese sit on the plastic sheets, but foreigners sit on the grass directly.(I sat on the grass, though :-)) My first Ohanami this year (cherry blossom viewing) was with my dog friends. We went to the Showa Kinen Park, which is near my house.
