Somehow we feel a breath of spring by cherry blossoms. Normally cherry trees become to the full bloom within one week from the beginning, then flowers fall quickly. It may the Japanese sympathize this way of blooming based on Bushido or Zen spirits. This is just my thought and it may wrong, but anyway we enjoy seeing cherry blossoms and drinking, eating and chatting under cherry blossoms that is a kind of out tradition.
In Gifu, it has reached full bloom officially, but it's not yet around our area. The cold weather in March might effected. So we will enjoy cherry blossoms longer a bit.
Indeed, this fiscal year is the last for GRS that is financially maintained by Otsuka Pharmaceutical. We will get great archives as much as we can and accomplish the success ending (GRS or the spirit of GRS will be passed to next level).
