🎥 TitleDay 435 | Sudden Cold, Serissa Blooming, Sakura Still Waiting | Odate → Hachinohe Zen Journey⸻📝 Description (YouTube)Day 435 — March 10, 2026 (Tokyo)Post #3223Today suddenly feels colder again in Tokyo.The air has that sharp winter edge returning — but even so, spring is clearly approaching step by step.The Hakuchōge (Serissa) continues to bloom.After weeks of yellowing leaves, the small white flowers are now appearing one after another.Each flower is tiny.But together they change the whole feeling of the plant.The Asahiyama Sakura, however, still has not bloomed.The buds remain closed.And yet they are firm, full, and alive.Sometimes the difference between “not blooming” and “almost blooming” is invisible.⸻🌿 Bonsai Reflection — Spring Moves QuietlySeasons do not arrive all at once.They arrive in signals:• a single flower• a slightly larger bud• a colder day after warmthSpring advances through contrast.⸻
