ZEN art exhibition Sagami Ono finished!
We are grateful that we had this opportunity to exhibit.
Thank you for everyone who came to this exhibition!
I always love to express Japanese beauty and symbols in art, such as paintings and jewelry.
Making Japanese scenery in 3D paintings in accessories is one of my favorite ways of expressing them.
Using resin allows me to make 3D world, by applying paintings in different layers.
It takes time and energy, but the slow procedure of making 3D painting jewelry excites me all the time.
And when it’s done, my affection to these jewelries becomes the special one.
Drawing good luck Japanese symbols, such as Mt. Fuji, Sakura cherry blossoms and Koi fish, and adding power stones, I can make these jewelry into special good luck items.
Cherry blossoms viewing cycling spots in Tokyo, Part 2.
We would like to give you some more ideas for Cherry blossoms viewing cycling spots.
First Tamagawa river.
Tamagawa river is a wide river, runs between Tokyo and Kanagawa.
Alongside this river, there are nice jogging & cycling roads both sides all the way.
You can enjoy cycling as well as walking.
Second, Aoyama cemetery in Minato-ku.
Aoyama cemetery is located between Aoyama and Roppongi.
Very sacred area with lots of cherry trees.
Thrid, Sakura-Zaka street, near Tamagawa river.
This is not long, but gorgeous cherry blossoms, like the name shows.
Fourth, Rinshi-no-mori park, in Shinagawa ku.
This park is quite big, has lots of nature, not just cherry trees.
You can enjoy cycling or walking inside this park.
We will show you more Sakura viewing cycling spots in Part 3, next time!
Tokyo cherry blossoms spots for cycling Part 1
It’s a cherry blossoms season!
The popular Sakura, “Somei-Yoshino” cherry blossoms are almost in full bloom in Tokyo.
There are many well known spots such as, Ueno park or Imperial palace, but we would like to give you some good spots for cycling as well.
The cherry blossom cycling spots we recommend are all close to the central Tokyo area, such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, Shinagawa. If you are in the central Tokyo area, please check out!
First, Meguro river.
Meguro river is getting really famous for cherry blossoms recently.
Meguro river runs all the way from Tokyo bay area Tennozu-Isle to Nakameguro and even further.
Many cherry trees are on both sides of this Meguro river.
You can enjoy cycling all the way alongside the river.
Second is Yoyogi park.
Yoyogi park is located just behind JR Harajuku station and is well known, yet very big with lots of nature.
There are cycling roads in this park, and you can enjoy cycling as well.
Third is Kamuro zaka Dori street.
This is near Fudo-mae station, Tokyo Meguro line.
From the bottom of this street, you can enjoy the tunnel of cherry blossoms as you go up the street.
After passing Somei Yoshino Sakura trees, dark pink Sakura “Kawazu Zakura” cherry blossoms appear.
Fourth is “Tachiaigawa Green Way” in Nishi- Koyama area.
This street is not far from Kamuro Zaka Dori street.
It’s located near Nishi Koyama station, Tokyu Meguro line.
We will share more cherry blossoms cycling spots in the next blog, Part 2!
Cherry blossom season has come!
It’s a little early for popular kind Sakura “Somei Yoshino”(It’s March 4th today), but different kind of Sakura called “Kawazu Zakura” is already blooming in Tokyo.
There are lots of famous spots for Sakura viewing in Tokyo, but we would like to share some not-so-noticed Sakura spots in Tokyo.
These spots are in central Tokyo, so if you are living in Tokyo, or if you are staying in Tokyo, they must be easy places to visit.
Cycling to these places are fun day trips as well!
Today, we would like to share some places where you can enjoy early kind Sakura “Kawazu Zakura”.
Best time to visit for this Sakura is in February, from mid-February to late February.
First place is famous park in Shibuya, Tokyo, called “Yoyogi Park”.
This park is well known as popular “Somei Yoshino” Sakura, but there are some “Kawazu Sakura” too. If you visit there in February, you can enjoy these early Sakura.
Second Sakura spot is “Ebara shrine”, which is located beside Meguro river, near “Shimbamba station” (Keikyu line).
Sakura here is another different kind called “Kanzakura”, and is the earliest Sakura in Tokyo.
You can see this Sakura starts blooming in early February!
Third spot is “Rinshi-no-mori park” in Shinagawa ward.
This is a huge park, and just walking/cycling inside this park is also fun.
“Kawazu Zakura” trees in this park are big and very gorgeous!
You can enjoy having picnic under the cherry blossoms.
Next Sakura spot is “Happo-en” in Minato ward.
“Happo-en” is a luxury event hall for weddings and parties.
This has a big and gorgeous Japanese garden.
You can go inside to see this garden for free.
This Japanese garden is worth visiting, having a big Koi pond and many precious Bonzai(Bonsai) trees.
There are so many “Nishiki goi” Koi fish swimming in the koi pond!
You can enjoy this garden in any season.
Lastly, we would like to tell you about “Todoroki Keikoku” in Setagaya ward.
This “Todoroki Keikoku” park is about 30 minutes bicycle ride from central Tokyo (Meguro).
Or you can go there by train using “Oimachi line” to “Todoroki station”.
In there, you can enjoy nature here, with walking beside the river.
“Keikoku” means valley, and this is a unique small valley that you can experience in Tokyo.
This place has a temple and a Japanese garden area.
In the Japanese garden, there are some bamboo trees, plum blossoms and cherry blossoms.
We hope you will add these spots to your “Tokyo explore list”, if you are planning to come visit Tokyo sometime in the future.
We will share not-so-noticed spots for “Somei Yoshino” Sakura in Tokyo soon!
Photos below are our Sakura jewelry.
You can enjoy your own cherry blossom in accessories.
