Even at the laboratory where I was, the engineering doctors from Ehime were enjoying the cherry blossoms in the laboratory garden on April 4.
Ehime prefecture is a late "Hinamatsuri = Girls' festival" so celebrate on April 4 instead of March 3rd.


Please enjoy the beauty of Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms.

I was born and grown in Marugame City , "Marugame castle" was built there, the castle is famous for "Hanami" of cherry blossoms.
Over 7 thousand castles exist in Japan. Marugame Castle have the "castle tower" existing since the feudal era, and there are only 12 castles in our country ,where "castle tower" remains.

As you know,A famous Japanese Hero "Yoshitsune Minamoto",He fought against Heike, he triumph.
Among the stories,The story of him and the cherry blossoms is told.
As below ・・・

Yoshitsune-senbonzakura



"源 = Minamoto" = "源氏 = Genji".

Minamoto's surname given from the Emperor is the last name when the Emperor' s grandson was removed from the royal family.

Yoshitsune Minamoto is the descendant of "清和天皇 = Emperor Seiwa" and He is called "清和源氏 = Seiwa Genji".

There were 21 families with the Emperor as their ancestors, all of which were named "源 = Minamoto".

Actually, I am "宇多源氏 = Uta Genji". My family line is the descendant of "宇多天皇 = Emperor Uta".
Of course, most Genji are renaming it and makes it another surname.Therefore, My name is not "源 = Minamoto".



"平 = Taira" = "平家 = Heike"

Then・・・Taira is the surname given when the great-grandson of the Emperor took off from the royal family.



In other words, Yoshitsune made a war between the same royal family.


Please continue listening to SenbonZakura.
