Spring Sakura
Japan really is beautiful! This years sakura(cherry blossoms) really proved that fact. The smell of sakura which is a soft sweet smell was drifting on the current of the air throughout my entire area. I took a walk and did an ethnographic survey with my camera. I took pictures of everyone who was out. People of every age were out. Family brought their grandparents in wheelchairs out to view the fresh blossoms.
Young kids were a common feature. But the most distinctive thing was definitely the atmosphere of levity. Instead, of the heavy hustle and bustle of daily life; I ran into a man who had taken the day off to spend time with his family. Everyone seemed to be enjoying these few moments of freedom to themselves.
