Spring has come to Yokohama. Cherry blossoms are in full bloom at Sankei-en Garden.
We can enjoy beautiful scenery whenever we come here.
Three storied pagoda
Pretty flowers on a trunk of a tree.
Both amateur and professional photographers are setting up their cameras waiting for shutter chances.
Another must-see of Sankei-en Garden is Rinshunkaku which was brought from Wakayama Prefecture.
PS
Sankei-en Garden was named after Sankei Hara(below) who was a successful businessman and an antique colletor.
But, without his adoptive father's presence he could not have built such a big garden.
This is a portrail of Zenzaburo Hara who was the founder of Hara Enterprise which dealt with silk trade and earned a prodigious sum of money. Zenzaburo's only heir apparent passed away leaving his daughter Yasu.
Yasu studied at Atomi Women's High School where she met a teacher named Tomitaro Aoki. Tomitaro Aoki was Sankei Hara's original name before his marriage.
