April showers, May flowers ?

















This April in Tokyo is not usual, I have never experienced such a cold and rainy April, people could not wear off their coat until recently. But thanks to this cold weather, we have been enjoying cherry bloom since the end of March because cold and rainy days delayed the growth. I also remembered someone mentioned "March wind, April shower, May flowers......" when I was in NY. Although the phrase is not for the usual spring weather of Tokyo, the "April shower" was true in Tokyo this year.






















Please let me introduce the most interesting gentleman who joined today's tour. His knowlede of Japanese manga and animation is beyond an ordinary Japanese, he also likes to play "Go" and Japanese chess. Since I don't play the games, he is a Japanese rather than me, isn't he?
