🌸🍵BYE BYE BLOSSOMS🍯😋

there comes a time
even in blossoming Kyōto...
sick of it
或時は花の都にも倦にけり
-Kobayashi Issa (小林一茶), 1795.
Trans. David G. Lanoue.

A little wind and rain, and sakura season draws to a close...but not before we toast the blossoms goodbye.

Blossoms at Keage.
Nao-san bid the blossoms farewell along the Tenjingawa, where the path runs under sakura trees.
