This photograph captures the serene expression of a plum tree blooming on a cold day. The sight of petals gently swaying in the crisp air is striking. At the Yugawara Plum Grove Festival, approximately 4,000 plum trees spread across the mountainside reach full bloom, vividly coloring the spring landscape. The sight of red and white plum blossoms in full splendor is breathtaking, and their gentle fragrance soothes the soul.
