The end of March is my favorite time of year, time when spring is coming and sakura  trees are blooming. Breathtaking beauty of Sakura! People go outside for walk and picnic under sakura trees. There is Sakura  Festival near my apartment house every year (last weekend of March). In front of my house there is so nice street with old sakura trees. I took some photos and video of this festival to show you how people here celebrate a sakura blossoming.

And this part of festival is very cruel. They bring here many different animals for kids! Yes, kids can play, feed, touch them. It sounds like they want to introduce to children how cute and nice are animals, but to use them like toys is very unfair and cruel. I saw like small girl was throw small chick and how mother was explaining to her son how delicious is meat of cow.   🙁 

At the end please watch this short video of Taiko music. I really love this Japanese drums!  🙂
