Since you said you were missing... : Shukugawa, Nishinomiya, Hyougo
So, I went out to take some photos of Shukugawa River
Cherry blossoms
Already past the full bloom
Already past the full bloom
Onto the river
Petals fall like snow flakes

Do you remember this bamboo bush where you found a discarded bike?
You brought it home to fix

It was the last spring
We walked along this river
When the cherry just came into blossom

When the cherry just came into blossom
You miss Japan or miss me?
