Bushido and Sakura ( Cherry blossoms )
The Yamato spirit is not a tame, tender plant, but a wild-in the sense of
natural-growth;it is indigenous to the soil; its accidental qualities it may
share with the flowers of other lands, but in its essence it remains the original,
spontaneous outgrowth of our clime. But, its nativity is not its sole claim to
our affection. The refinement and grace of its beauty appeal to our aesthetic
sense as no other flower can. We can not share the admiration of the
Europeans for their roses, which lack the simplicity of our flower. Then, too,
the thorns that are hidden beneath the sweetness of the rose, the tenacity
with which she clings to life, as though loth or afraid to die rather than drop
untimely, preferring to rot on her stem; her showy colours and heavy odours-all
these are traits so unlike our flower which carries no dagger of poison under
its beauty, which is even ready to depart life at the call of nature, whose
colours are never gorgeous, and whose light fragrance never palls.
BUSHIDO by INAZO NITOBE(P137)
Bushido is Sakura which our land’s indigenous and symbolizes Japan. Sakura
never wilt. Before the wilt, Sakura fall beautifully with Wind and Rain.
That is the essence of Samurai. In another way, this moment is the most
precious and important in the life. Sakura have not come into full bloom
here yet. However, the front is coming soon!! 1 Apr, 2012
May 5 is CHILDREN’s Day. People celebrate the healthy growth of Boys.
The origin is that Samurai families wished the boys grow manly and courageously.
Families with boys display Yoroikazari(Armor ornament) inside the houses and
put up Koinobori(Carp streamers) outside. The carp is thought to be a lucky fish
symbolizing success in life. Now,look up at the blue sky!!
You could view the lucky streaming carps in Japan. 1 May, 2012
