Japanese Vocabulary fujii: wisteria
On the first day of Golden Week, Zach, Christine and I went to a nearby temple to see the Fujii. Christine found out about the place from the taxi driver that takes her to her mountain school on Wednesday. Since late April to early May is their peak season here, we decided to check it out and it was a good thing we did!
The wisteria was beautiful- I've mostly seen purple wisteria before, some white, but never pink. Not only did they have all colors, but the wisteria was so dense and beautiful, and all the plumes were unusually long. Plus, it was a perfect, sunny, hot, blue-sky day, perfect for catching the light among the blossoms. Honestly, I think I enjoyed it more than the cherry blossoms and cherry blossom season. For one it wasn't crowded- mostly old people and families came to view the blossoms. Also, the blooms were so dense and hung so gracefully from the trellises. I wish everyone could have been there to see it!
