Sakura at Himeji Castle, Hyogo, Japan
Arriving too late to enter the castle, we made the most of the cherry blossoms surrounding it. This sakura tree stands proudly, its branches spreading into a canopy of blossoms.

On Children’s Day in Japan (5 May)
My son and many other kids frantically jumped to catch the flying carp-shaped windsocks (koinobori). The wish for children to grow strong and resilient—symbolised by carp swimming upstream—was vividly embodied in the scene.

In Japan, 5 May is Children’s Day, celebrated by flying large carp-shaped windsocks called koinobori, symbolising carp swimming upstream — a wish for children to grow strong and resilient.

Osaka Castle, Japan
The moat sightseeing boats are painted gold. Perhaps a nod to the famous fondness for gold of the castle’s builder, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
