CHERRY BlOSSOM , SAMURAI, IDENTITY

Kyoto springtime splender by underflo

Cherry blossom blooms for very short period.
I find it musch more beautiful when breaking up from the time of being in bloom.
It has gone now..

Most of the time, people think of beautiful woman when they see floors,but...
In terms of cherry blossom, I imagine a male.
Correctly saying, I remember a story of a SAMURAI named SHINSAKU TAKASUGI.(1839-1867)

「おもしろき　こともなき世を　おもしろく」
This is his poetry when he dies.
(Most of the time samurai's make poetry for Good bye to this world when they die.)
It means ..."Actually everyday is NOT interesting,( even boring ) and I did my best so that I felt it interesting " He's never said "I am finished" ,"Out of my hands", "Out of resources" and found something new instead.
Imagine, when you are in no way out and you admit thing comes at  the end or terminated, actually it woun't go forward. But you think it is the time when you discover something which you've  never thought of, it brings a new beginning.

  SUPER WONDERFUL!!

I feel thousands of floors on his policy.
So every spring cherry blossom blooms here and there.
It reminds of SHINSAKU and ...makes me feel my identity, although I am a woman nor never adore to be a samurai....
Samurai's have gone and not appeared anymore but their spirits are sitll remined, especially countryside.
Wish to take shots of them as although they are :-))
