Niigata's wild sakura tree, which quietly stands deep in the mountains,
blooms only after having endured the long, harsh winter. Along with
hopes for a peaceful and bright spring, may we pray for another good year.

Springtime's mountain stream in bloom
Scenery reminiscent of a landscape picture found in Okuaga. The
comparison, between the clear mountain stream, flowing between stones,
the fresh green of the trees, and the fully blooming wild sakura through
which you can feel the warmth of Spring, is beautiful.
