We've seen lots of mejiro in the branches of the plum trees, bearing so many little flowers, and we've already heard once the uguisu singing. Last year we really had the chance to listen to a concert coming from among the deep foliage of a tree in the grove close to our residence.<br />Thank you so much for offering such usual information AND such wonderful shots!GABRIELAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688182298181806822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2324653069160902634.post-61265713501851137912012-04-04T23:33:43.445+09:002012-04-04T23:33:43.445+09:00Hi Yoko! :)

I have never seen one, they fly very high in the sky and their song is always a faint and joyful twittering . usually over open fields. There's a very famous poem about a skylark that was written by Shelley.

Probably they associated<br /> “hanafuda” with “yakuza” who use/used hanafuda for gambling. I've learned the name “yakuza” derives from “8,9,3” relating to the score of “oichokabu” game. I enjoyed “hana-awase” game, which is easy, beautiful, and fun, with my children when they were young. It’s a good idea to play “hana-awase” with the elderly.
