Cherry blossams season has come a little earlier in Japan. The season is short, a week. So, we have to rush to enjoy watching them. Hanami is a popular party now. We drink and eat under the tree of cherry blossams.
There are many good spots for Hanami in Tokyo. Yasukuni shrine is one of them. I and some friends went there yesterday. It was my first visit of the shrine.
We expected for a full of beautiful flowers, but 40% of flowers were growing when we watched them. Most street shops was under construction. Maybe, next week is better for Hanami.
We went into Yasukuni, and watched some statues and architectures.
My image of this shrine was big. However it was not . I know many bigger shrines in Kyoto, my home town. I was surprised at the gap between the image on TV and the real size.
Because we went late, we couldn't walk into a exciting museum in the shrine, which admires Japanese soldiers in WW2. We can watch a lot of weapons there.
Although the interest in Yasukuni shrine is increasing in the international politics, I heard that the donation to the shrine is decreasing. Because the generation experiencing the war is decreasing year by year. Yasukuni is not a general shrine. It is a special shrine for dead soldiers. So, it mught be difficult for Yasukuni to get normal religious supporters.
When I watched an advertisement of professional wrestling in Yasukuni, I was very surprised. ( We can watch it in a shrine! Gash! It is impossible in Kyoto.)
To eran money, this shrine have to have such an event.
We bought beer and snacks in a convenience store, and had a party in Yasukuni.
For Hanami, this place is very peaceful. Mr. President Koizumi should have Hanami party there.

VS WBC
March is the final month of a fiscal year in Japan. I have to finish many things in this month, and almost had done.
I went to a government office many times this month, because I was invited to some Bids. For new fiscal year, March is the bids month in Japan. Government calls us, and says "Come to the office for a bid at XX o'clock on XXth in March." Time and day are strict. We don't have a choce to change the schedule. That's why my schedule was very tight and busy in this month.
Today, Japanese baseball teams got championship in WBC, World Baseball Classic. I am proud of it. Compared with World Cup in soccer, the status of WBC is lower, but I hope this event become more popular in the future.
I can't understand why American team couldn't go to the final tournament. I heard that the team balance of American team was bad; too much homerun butters. On next WBC, America will change the team balance and revenge.
For Japanese, maybe most exciting game was VS Korea. I was very excited to watch it.
I watched the game in a rest room of Onsen, hot-spring, near my city.
I drunk a bottle of beer each inning. Total beer was nine. I was excited and drunk very much.
In this WBC, Japan won 1 game against Korea and lost 2. But, it got championship. I can guess this is a unsatifying result fof Korean people. They must hope for next WBC coming soon.
I think Japan vs Korea is very exciting for any sports. If I were a arranger of sports event, I use this exciting mutch every event. Japan and Korea has bad relationship on political level, but business is different from politics. We should use this "hostile" relationship for business.
Tomorrow, I have four bids. Too much! My free time is just in lunch time. I wish I can have a luch in Chinatown in Yokohama tomorrow.

VS DiSC
I took a psycological test recently.
The test name is DiSC.
This name comes from head letters of four words.
D is Dominance.
"i" is influence.
S is Steadiness.
C is Conscientiousness or Cautiousness.
I heard that we have all of four characters but the strongest one is different from each others.
I was gave a mark sheet and answered 24 questions.
It was an easy test, but we can know our potential character and our character that other people recognized.
I couldn't believe that such only 24 questions can judge our character, before the test. But, now I can believe it. Because I took the test with some my colleages and the test result was fitted with them very much.
I was categorized in "i".
The person who are in this character seems to be social, easy-going, passional and leading.
In addition, this person is dogmatic, undemocratic and fast to escape!
This is me? Hmm, I seem to rethink what I am.
