From Japan, with Love: Nightingales Sing

Entry #38: 2022 February 9

I saw my very first plum blossom the other day! The cherry blossom have become synonymous with Spring and Japan, but it’s really the umé that were the revered flower to signal Spring. They are the first comers, the ones we look to to confirm that the season is changing. And they are CUTE! ♡♡♡ Three hearts cute! Plum, cherry, and peach blossoms are Spring’s trifecta. And while my name is Peach, it’s the plum that I find most charming. It has round petals, and the park of the tree is dark, rough, and looks very wise. This also marks the cherry blossom sweets beginning to line confectionary shops. As in clothing, food, home, we often celebrate one step ahead.
