April 8 is Historical Buddha's birthday. In Buddhism, it is a celebration day called "Kanbutsue". It is generally called "Flower Festival" and is popular. In addition, it is also called the Birthday Party (Gotane), the Buddha Party (Bushoe), the Buddha Party (Goodbutsue), the Ryukakai (Ryugee), and the Hanakai ceremony (Hanaeshiki).

Every year, Tsukiji Honganji celebrates this day with a warm atmosphere. This year, the day overlapped on Sunday and was blessed with good weather, and many people visited.

The children of the young children were also lovely, and the practice of applying sweet tea to Buddha statues according to tradition was also delicious.

Japan is an overwhelmingly large number of Buddhists, but it seems that this traditional event has become less conscious in recent years. The birth festival of Jesus Christ seems a bit plain compared to being quite flashy, but is that the virtue of Historical Buddha again?

It's full of spring now. The spirit of respect for living things is a universal value that goes beyond religion and culture. It may be a season that fosters appreciation in many natural features.

　The annual mini-garden guide tour was held on April 5 to stroll around the park with the guidance of an exclusive gardener at Harumi Triton Plaza 2F "i green Pocket Plaza Flower, Water, Tree".

On the "Flower Terrace", the pure white dogwood horticultural variety "White Love" jumps into your eyes first. If you turn your eyes, the red flower variety 'Celoky Chief' has an elegant impression.

Benibasmo has finished blooming, but the small improved variety "Systena" is just in full bloom. The contrast between the cute pink florets and the copper leaves is wonderful. The purple florets of the American Hanazuou on the "Green Terrace" cover the branches is eye-catching. The brush-shaped flower shape of Shirobananamansaku is also impressive. Azaleas such as Yoshino azalea also begin to bloom, and it is also pretty that light pink florets of camellia 'Elina' bloom on supple branches.

The flower bed is planted four times a year. New faces also appear in various ways, delighting your eyes.

It was a plant walk where you could feel the changing of the so-called "laughing" season on your skin.
