It is evening and I hear the frogs croak really loud like a whole orchestra!
I arrived here in Miharu, Fukushima last Tuesday to work, throw some pots, at Kusakabe-san’s place and fire a kiln.
Miharu means “Three spring”: the first 3 blossoms in spring are: plum, cherry and peach: “ume, sakura and momo”. The “ume” blossoms already finished, but the Sakura is in full bloom and the peach like here in the entrance to Kusakabe-san farm house, is starting to bloom.
We also saw some wonderful sakura trees and the surroundings here is completely engulfed by the colors from white, light pink to dark pink. It is beautiful.

The city Miharu: In the far back everything is pink also. Only it is not easy to see. (Click for enlargement).
And this morning at 6 am, we went to the “Takizakura”; the waterfall Sakura tree, here in Miharu. This tree is 1200 years old and poles support the heavy branches. It is a historic monument. Already so many people were up to admire the tree. This weekend lots of people will be visiting this Sakura tree. And the roads will be blocked all around town!
