@がっちゃん That’s right! I feel so~ Spring has come here. It’s still cold(3°C)in the morning, when I leave home for my club(swimming). Keep being healthy. Good day & nice cocktail, cheers 🍻! with smile 😊
Yumiko(California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening ! 🌅🌃 Chaenomeles(Boke) are red flowers that are suitable for early spring.🌺🌿😊😄 I posted the photos of Chaenomeles(Boke) on GS on February 18th last year.📸👌 Chaenomeles are native to China🇨🇳, the flowers came to Japan🇯🇵 during the early Heian period.⛩️🤴🫅 At that time, there were no Hiragana(ひら仮名) in Japan, so the flower name was introduced in Kanji(漢字) from China.🤔 The cross section of the fruit resembled a melon(瓜)🍈 that grows into a tree(木).🌳🧐 The sound reading for 木瓜(Mokkou) became Moke. After that, the Moke(モケ) turned into the Boke(ボケ). ....so long talk ? Long Tall Sally, no, Long talk sorry.🙇 Good day Sunshine Hotel !🏙️🤭🌞✌️

Yes. Thank you. I went to Tokugawa Garden, which has a Tokugawa Art Museum and a Japanese garden in Aichi Prefecture, where you can enjoy a lot of things, and saw the Tokugawa family's Hina dolls and national treasures. It was the last day of winter peonies in the garden, but they were blooming beautifully. ☺️✨🐰💗
Yes. I enjoyed sightseeing. The beautiful flowers and exhibits were very nice. Among them, there were Hina dolls, which are used to celebrate girls on March 3rd in Japan. There were modern Hina dolls and Hina dolls from a long time ago.🐰💗
@デュランサ That’s right! I remember…my grandfather gave me the big ‘Hinadan’ which he bought for my father’s younger sister. I will still have it. Happy Hina-matsuri Have a nice day. 😊
