When we see the beauty of the snow, when we see the beauty of the full moon, when we see the beauty of the cherries in bloom, when in short we brush against and are awakened by the beauty of the four seasons, it is then that we think most of those close to us, and want them to share the pleasure.

as snow falls on the town...
Here's something you don't see everyday in Tokyo. This morning snow was falling in large, fluffy flakes - botan yuki (牡丹雪), in Japanese.
Like the best, most beautiful things in life, it lasted only for a moment, alas, but... there you are.
