I am a retired Japanese male. I live in the suburbs of Tokyo. I've been feeling down lately because of the war. I went on over-night reunion trip with my cowork friends. We went to Gifu by tour bus. We were lucky to have clear skies both days. We drove on the Chuo Expressway Both days. We enjoyed the cherry blossoms along the road and in the towns and villages we passed by. Unfortunately, the 1,500-year-old old cherry tree we had come to see had almost scattered. Usuzumi-Zakura its name. The meaning is light ink. We were unable to confirm it. Far view of snow covered Mt.Fuji was beautiful.
