Kawazu cherry blossoms have begun to bloom after the Doll's Festival.

The hanging scroll on the alcove is 「弄花香満衣」(Hana wo rousureba kaori koromo ni mitsu). This is a Zen term. Feels like a sit at tea room with the fragrance of flowers in full bloom.

The flowers for the alcove were spear daffodils and black-eyed willow.

For sweets, prepared “Tomoe Sakura” (Sweet Confectionery Shinshodo, Tokyo-Shinbashi).
