Sakura fubuki haiku

Tue, March 31, 2015, by Muza-chan
The life of the cherry blossom is short, but each life stage has its own charm and the Japanese tradition celebrates them all... After the full bloom magnificence, the withering period is called sakura fubuki, "cherry blossoms snowfall".
And a famous haiku by Issa says:

さすが花ちるにみれんはなかりけり
sasuga hana chiru ni miren wa nakari keri

When cherry blossoms
scatter...
no regrets
