‘START OF SPRING ( 立春)’
3rd February is RISSHUN( 立春) the day when spring starts from traditional calendar.
In Japan February is still cold but the daytime is getting longer little by little.
It’s already 1 hour longer than winter equinox day 23rd December.
I came across the beautiful pink plum blossom is flowering in the OOKUNITAMA shrine near my house. A little girl was taking photos under the plum tree, it’s really cute .
Many birds are flying actively to date as a couple from now .
I found the beautiful blue kingfishers are flying activity in the HIBIYA park, many photographers were taking photos of them . Also canola flowers blossom beautiful too!
The state of emergency is prolonged until 7th March 1 month long by the government in Japan.
I hope everything gets back to normal this year!!
I’m Nobu, one heart enjoy together!!!
