The parade floats faced each other and competed for the festival music. I saw this kind of the festival for the first time and enjoyed much.

お囃子の競い合い competing festival music
山車が向かい合って、お囃子を競い合うお祭りを見てきました。このようなお祭りは初めてで、楽しむことができました。

花見 flower viewing
日本人は、ことのほかソメイヨシノの花見を好みます。ソメイヨシノは、その美しい形質を守るため、接ぎ木や挿し木で増やされたクローンです。そのため、同じ環境では、皆一斉に咲き乱れ、そして一斉に散ります。この美しさと潔さが、日本人の心に深く染み入るのでしょう。日本の桜の80％はソメイヨシノです。
Japanese people really like to enjoy cherry blossoms, especially Someiyoshino. All Someiyoshino are clones, because they are propagated by grafting or cuttage to defence of the beauty nature. Therefore, in the same environment, every tree blooms all at once and then scatters all at once. This beauty and purity will deeply infiltrate into Japanese mind. 80% of cherry trees in Japan are Someiyoshino.

無常 impermanence
昔は、人の目を楽しませてくれた桜（ソメイヨシノ）ですが、今では、幹や枝が朽ちて危険なので、ばっさり切られました。ソメイヨシノの寿命は150年位だそうです。すべてのものは、例外なく変化し続けます。
In the old days, this cherry tree, Someiyoshino, pleased the eyes of the people, but now, the trunk and branches of the tree had been rotten and had become dangerous, so they were cut extensively. They say the life-span of "Someiyoshino" is about 150 years. Everything continues changing without exception.

4月の雪 april snow
4月というのに東京で雪が降りました。庭のヒマラヤユキノシタは、雪の下です。
It is amazing that it snowed in Tokyo in April. Bergenias in my garden are now under the snow. The Japanese name of Bergenia is under the snow.

ベニシダレ Pendula Rosea
名前の通り、花は赤みが濃い、枝垂れ桜です。枝が垂れ下がるのは、枝の生長速度が速すぎて、枝が硬くなる前にどんどん伸びるからです。
The Japanese name of this cherry tree means red weeping cherry. As the name suggests, the flower is reddish. The branches are hanging, because they grow too fast to become harden themselves.
