Even though the spring has passed, the cold days of early spring are severe.
Flowers that bloom from winter to early spring are limited, but the flower color is relatively yellow and then white.
In front of the full-fledged spring, pale yellow and white flowers look good under the clear and clear sunshine.
This year, the first snow was released on January 20, and on the 24th, Tokyo was slightly light-covered.
Here in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, the tranquil and calm aroma of dignifiedly blooming wax plums (Japanese allspice), Genshin wax plums (Soshinrobai), and daffodils (Nihon daffodils) drift in the cold sky, making you feel relieved.
Why don't you feel the early spring with a neat and sweet scent in the garden surrounded by a sense of silence?
From winter to early spring, the temperature is still low, and the activity of insects is not yet active, and there are few species. According to one theory, it is presumed that the yellow system, which is said to have little connection with specific animals, is suitable for blooming at such a time.

February 3 is "Setsubun."
Here at Tsukiji Namishi Inari Shrine, an annual Setsubun festival was held at 5:30 p.m., and when beans and a large amount of sweets were scattered from the special stage in response to the shout of "Fukuhauchi", a large number of worshiper and others gathered together.
Setsubun is the turn of the season, the day before spring, summer, fall, and winter. Ritsuharu was particularly valued as the beginning of the year, and gradually began to refer to the spring Setsubun.
There is also the idea of the Ritsuharu New Year, and it is said that the event of "Tuna", which exorcises and purifies the evils and disasters of the old year, began in Setsubun.
Since the Muromachi period, it has evolved into an event where beans are scattered to drive out evil demons, gradually spread to the general public, and it is said that it continues to this day.
Some say that the beans used in bean-throwing ceremony are roasted beans, which leads to roasting, and that shooting "mame" leads to "mame".
