It’s cold…

　The Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms in Kyoto are due to bloom next week. The avenue of cherry trees along the Lake Biwa Canal is magnificent.

　Perhaps due to last week’s warmth, some of the Somei Yoshino along the Lake Biwa Canal had begun to bloom. However, the cold snap caused the petals to wither.

　On top of the cold, large amounts of cedar pollen are being dispersed. 

　Please take good care of yourselves.
