Violet days

The first weekend of June welcomed the plump blooms of hydrangea (or ajisai in Japanese) throughout Tokyo’s Hiroo neighborhood.

Hydrangea is one of our favorites & a few years back we went to a Temple that had a Festival of these beauties complete with local treats & a troupe of acrobatic monkeys , a great experience on our visit-
