Sakura-dori St. (Tentative name) Cherry Blossoms

Nice to meet you, I have become a correspondent for the eleventh term. Thank you all, m(__)m

By the way, as I will explain why the title is "tentative name" below, it is an introduction of cherry blossoms at Sakura-dori St. near Kabuto-cho. I think that the "Sakura Arch" looked up from the road is a photo that I often see, but I took a row of cherry blossom trees from above with the help of setting up an office facing this street. It looks like a cherry blossom forest (^^)

Cherry blossom nectar

There are quite a few birds coming in search of cherry blossom nectar. Many are brown-eared bulbul and sparrows, sometimes Japanese white-eye.

The nectar is located at the base of the ovaries (in short, the innermost part of the flower). If you have a short sparrow with a short beak, if you pierce your head so far, your face will be full of pollen, or you will try to suck out the base of the petals by chewing it out. As a result, the cherry blossoms fall like camellia flowers ... (A)

brown-eared bulbul plunged his head into the flower by direct attack (C), and as a result, the beak has yellow powder like white powder! (Laughs: B)

Full of torso blows

As shown in the photo, the cherry blossoms on Sakura-dori St. often bloom directly from the trunk (called tofubuki). The contrast with the old trunk is good, and it looks like a single vase.

But the torso blowing is also a proof that the tree is weakening. In the world of bonsai, there seems to be a rough work of intentionally damaging trees and blowing them torso. I don't know the age of the tree, but it was planted in 1956. The style of Furuki is drifting.

What is Sakura-dori St.?

Sakura-dori St. (tentative name) Sakura-dori St.

This map is part of the map of the cherry blossom newsletter of Chuo-ku community bus "Edo Bus".

The sign "F" on the middle slightly left shows Sakura-dori St. The commentary is "A row of cherry blossom trees extending from the north exit of Yaesu at Tokyo Station to Kayabacho. You can see the largest 150 cherry trees in Chuo-ku. ] It is written.

So, I think Sakura-dori St. is "about 1 km in total length from Sotobori-dori St. to Kamejima River", right? I've always thought so.

But it's not officially different. It was in 1988 that Chuo-ku started giving "nicknames" to various roads. The name and section of "Sakura-dori St." seem to have been officially registered in the ward in 1988. However, the section is "Yaesu 1-5 to Nihonbashi 3-chome 1". It was only between Sotobori-dori St. and Chuo-dori.

Originally, the section is "Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St.", which was planted by local volunteers in 1936. It seems that the row of cherry trees was extended to Kayabacho when re-planted in 1956 after being burned down by the war.

That's why I wrote Sakura-dori St. on the row of cherry blossom trees from Chuo-dori to Kamejima River (tentative name) (laughs).
