Is Spring Finally Here?

Two days of sun and warm winds and everyone is out taking pictures and having picnics with friends and family. On the way to Osakusa, the subway displays are of Spring and flowers and sandals.
At a small shrine, right in the middle of busy traffic and hustle-bustle, two raccoons protect the city from fire and theft. A dragon guards the water.
In front of a huge theatre is Hollywood hands; here the stars leave their signatures and handprints.
A beautiful park at Shinjuko Gyoen features gardens, ponds, sculptures and all varieties of roses, cherry and plum blossoms, fish, herons, crows, lanterns, shrines and teahouses.

The gnome sunned himself and found a friendly lion at the Tokyo Medtropolitan Teien Art Museum.
