The season of the cherry tree is coming !!!

Japanese people love a cherry tree.

If a cherry tree blooms, many Japanese will view the cherry blossoms under a cherry tree.

Since many cherry trees are planted as a roadside tree, it is also pleasant to take a walk.

Collaboration of a train and a cherry tree！

There are many kinds also in a cherry tree and how to enjoy oneself is also various. 

Please enjoy a cherry tree, if you comes to Japan at this season.!!!

Shishi-odoshi

鹿おどし

もともとは、獣を追い払う装置だが、風雅を醸し出す装置として、日本庭園にある。

流れ込む水の力で、竹筒が下がり、石にあたり、よい「音色」を出す。

「Shishi-odoshi」

From the first, although it is equipment which drives off a beast, 

it is in a Japanese garden as equipment which brews tasteful elegance.

A bamboo pipe falls, and it hits a stone and takes out good "tone"

 with the power of the water flowing in.

Good tone!!!
