Why the US have a lot of cherry blossom?

Why the US have a lot of cherry blossom?

Japan’s attack on the base marked the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War (1904–5), which ended with the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth in September 1905. The US government engineered that treaty, so Mizuno had a strong sense of gratitude toward the United States.

... 

He[mayor of Tokyo, Ozaki Yukio (1858–1954, Tokyo mayor 1903–12] promptly secured a budget to prepare and ship 2,000 cherry saplings to Washington DC. The shipment left in January 1910, but insect pests and disease afflicted most of the saplings during the long sea voyage.

...

Tokyo’s second cherry-tree shipment, this one comprising 3,020 saplings of 12 varieties, left the port of Yokohama in February 1912. The careful preparations and precautions proved effective, and the shipment arrived safe and sound. Neither insects nor disease had damaged a single sapling. (from http://www.nippon.com/en/features/c02002/)

The cherry flowers in the US is the symbol of alliance between Japan and the US. Then, it brings one question what the symbol of that between Korea and the US is? I wonder the answer of the right side in Korea...

Anyway, below are pics from friends

* Pics from Kyoto

I wonder where the place has this kind of the beautiful cherry blossom. It dosen't look like the railroad near the univeristy of Rithumei(?) or northeastern side of Kyoto, having series of tiny stations. Anyway so good.

[Pic #1] Negri-Nepote Native Grassland Preserve

[Negri-Nepote Native Grassland Preserve]

 [Mar.30.2017]

[Sep. 2016]



This is the first trial shot by new camera and the latter one is the pic shot last year. The day I took pics was gloomy and the time needs to get accustomed to use the one though, the second shot looks so good that the phone seems superb than the new camera. It, however, is due to the manipulation. Anyway, I'll do photo as much as I have a time, which most of the place that I take a shot would be that I'll be going to miss after leaving the US. This is the one of those, Negri-Nepote Native Grassland Preserve, even I don't have idea why the name is so long, which the first place I went after bought my car because of the closeness to my house, this made me surprised that such peaceful plain is very near me, and one day I could meet the flock of deers. Now I knew the NJ is not simply calm, peaceful, and natural, nevertheless, it is good enough to like the green nature reflecting the place that I'll go back.

I heard the some story that the owner of the farm around the preserve is the descendant of the great landowner who had a lot of lands and farms around here. To imagine the family have had the land of their ancestor over 1~2 century is not easy for me who lived the place of which have changed almost everything one or two decades.

[Diary #1] bought a camera

Last dawn bought impulsively a camera on Amazon. For a long time, maybe about six months I've been thinking about buying a camera, just camera not a fancy camera but a better than the camera that I bought in mid last summer which was for works of taking a photograph documents of ARI that my advisor gave to me. The problem was that I didn't think it enough and the only thing I cared about was that I would be satisfied with a camera giving me a good pic, disappointedly it wasn't, even though I tried not to do, it has gave blurred, pointless pics.
Looking back to my past 5 years, however, I've lost so many valuable things that is not only expensive, but meaningful enough to be thought favourite, some of the presents myself for my working, thus this made me to give up having something pricey because I didn't want to lose anything anymore. What seems to be interesting is that I haven't lost anything from the one very sad day that I lost so many many things in a day that broke my heart.
It's not a so much expensive one I bought today's daybreak though, it's quite a luxurious product itself reflecting my recent spending. Announce that it'll going to be changing my blogging with pics.

[Reading Note 1] The Making of the English Working Class by E. P. Thompson

[Preface]
P.5 If we stop history at a given point, then there are no classes but simply a multitude of individuals with a multitude of experiences. But if we watch these men over an adequate period of social change, we observe patterns in their relationships, their ideas, and their institutions. Class is defined by men as they live their own history, and, in the end, this is its only definition.

How many things and what kinds of a premise block one to understand the "genuine" meaning of as itself. It could be from the one considered as a small facts, in broader sense, to the modern scientific academic system.

In the era of the 3M defectors... needs to meet an 'equal' citizenship, not the political rhetoric

탈북자 3만 명 시대 … 정치적 수사 아닌 ‘동등한 시민권’으로 만나야 [정진아]
http://www.kyosu.net/news/articleView.html?idxno=33469

This column explains an example about the fraction of perspective of the South Korean people toward the North Korean defectors. The main story is that one young defector who is casted TV show, said his opinion of the Korean unification in that show, representing the voice of the North Korean since he was requested by the production crews. "I oppose the unification", he said. "The present way is that South Korea with the capital and the technology develops[exploits] North Korea if North Korea afford the resource and the cheap labor power. From the boots of the North Korean people could be thought that why have to give our resource low-priced to South Korea, we are [going to be] victims of the unification at some aspects", he continued. "In the point of the North Korean view, have China even though not unify with South Korea. If South Korea refused to the exchanges and collaborations, don't need to go hand in hand with South Korea since North Korea has been friendly relations with China" After this, the netizens resented he dissented from the South Korean centered unification without being notified the fact the defector had been doing a mission which was on behalf of the North Korean's view. He was severely blamed by the network public and hide himself from the outside.

The writer, Jin-a, Jung, professor of the Graduate School, Kunkuk University, criticizes that the South Korean society wants the defectors to be still in the position embodies the anti-communism, the anti-north even though they already started to divest of "the returned soldier" which the expression was made for the propaganda of superiority by the South Korean Government. In this frame, the defectors, she said, could be a subject for sympathy and support, but couldn't acquire the citizenship or have freedom to leave from the political stance arranged by the Korean society.
