🌸ANCIENT SPLENDOUR✨

Nao-san finds a quiet spot (-not an easy task-) along the Tenjingawa (天神川) to enjoy tea beneath the blossoms🍵🙌🥹

Last summer Nao-san planned to enjoy 'nodate' (野点 'outdoor tea ceremony') in each of the 4 seasons, and finally that dream came to pass🙌

It's common to see rows of cherry trees planted along the banks of rivers (even when the waterway has been 'river managed' to within an inch of its life).

The kilometer stretch of Tenjingawa from Shijō-dōri (四条通) to Gojō-dōri (五条通) is filled with sakura🌸😊
