Yesterday we went to the 六義園 (Rikugien Japanese Garden) because the 桜 (Cherry Blossoms) are in bloom now.
Before we left home, my wife and daughters made a picnic lunch for us…so we had a 花見 (Cherry Blossom Viewing picnic) in the garden.
From there, we walked up to the 東京大学 (University Of Tokyo) area before we went home.
Here are some of the photos I took:
桜 (Cherry Blossoms)
Japanese traditional tea house
鯉 (Carp)

椿 (Camellia)

Chinese gardens are beautiful too. In many ways similar to a Japanese garden.

Well, that flower’s name in Japanese is 「椿」 (Tsubaki)…and that movie’s name (in Japanese) is 「椿三十郎」 (Tsubaki Sanjuro).
