"Hanami bento" bento for sakura viewing

 
 

We Japanese love "sakura" cherry blossoms.  Sakura is a kind of a symbol of Japanese spirit.
Today in Tokyo, Cherry blossoms are full bloom.
I made "Hanami bento"  bento for cherry blossoms. We enjoy cherry blossom viewing under the
full bloom of tree like a picnic.

We love this moment.

Life is beautiful.

Hinamatsuri

 
 
 
 March 3rd is Hinamatsuri (Doll's) festival in Japan. We decorate hina dolls wearing ancient costume and expressing Emperor and Empress. We celebrate the growth of girls as graceful and beautiful as ancient nobility. We usually eat Chirashi sushi and Hamaguri (venus cclam) soup.
Sorry for forgetting to take a picture Hamaguri soup.
