Those ume blossoms were good to see
Many people came to the shrine.

Only Japanese People are able to make a festival to celebrate the blossom of the trees!How lovely!

(I Don't know the name of this instrument, but I like the sound made by the kind of tall guitar a woman is using in the orchestra.)
