Chapter 100: Budokan and Cherry Blossoms

Budokan

Originally, it was called "Nippon Budokan", but later it was officially named "Nippon Budokan".

It was founded with strong support from members of the Diet who love martial arts, the government, the financial sector and the public to solicit the opinions of all the people.

Completed in 1964, the design was designed by Mamoru Yamada, and the design style is an octagonal shape modeled after the Horyuji Dream Hall, and the ridge line of the large house beam is based on the original shape of Mt. Fuji.

There are 3,199 fixed seats on the first floor, 7,846 fixed seats on the second and third floors, 480 standing seats on the third floor, and up to 2,946 seats on the main street. In addition to the Daido Field, there are also small-scale judo and kendo fields. In addition, there are student federation offices of each martial arts and the offices of international martial arts universities.

Nowadays, Budokan is used for various music events such as concerts and live broadcasts, and it is the most popular place for Budokan to be used.

Many large-scale entrance ceremonies and graduation ceremonies are held here every year.

April 12, 2005, which is April 12, Heisei 17.

The entrance ceremony to the University of Tokyo was held here.

Parking the car far away from the Budokan family, the Sakamoto family got out of the car and started walking.

Because, today is the entrance ceremony of the University of Tokyo, and the people who go to the budokan block the entire road, so that they can't even drive bicycles.

These are all new students and their parents.

It is easy to distinguish between the freshmen of Tokyo University, as long as it is a young man or woman in a suit, it is basically the same.

After all, it is a more formal occasion, and both men and women wear suits that they only wear a few times a year, showing respect for the university they are about to enter.

"Wow, that's a lot of people. "Sakamoto Feng's little brother, wearing a suit, looks like the same style as Sakamoto Kiyoshi, but the difference is that Sakamoto Kiyoshi wears a tie, while Xiao Fengfeng wears a bow tie.

The small bow tie and the small suit make Sakamoto look like a noble young master, so cute.

At this time, Xiao Fengfeng took Sakamoto Kiyoshi's hand, stood at the intersection, pointed to the crowd in front of him who were advancing towards the Budokan and sighed.

"Of course, today is the entrance ceremony of the University of Tokyo, and in addition to the more than 4,000 new students, plus the parents or siblings of each new student, there are at least 10,000 people. Kiyoshi Sakamoto explained to his younger brother why so many people came to attend the entrance ceremony.

"Let's get closer, don't wait to get separated, it's hard to find, there are so many people. Akira Sakamoto, the head of the family, spoke.

"Mmmm, Qing, you have to hold your brother, I want to hold your father's hand to prevent him from getting lost, and I can't take care of the two of you, so you have to take care of the wind." We'll meet at the door. Sakamoto Heiko is also a playmaker, and after saying this, she took Sakamoto Akira's hand as if no one was around, and said to him, "Let's go, dear." ”

And looking at his wife who was a little excited, Sakamoto Ming also wordlessly let her hold his hand, and after making eye contact with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, after getting Sakamoto Kiyoshi's affirmative nod, he also held hands with his girly wife.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto also feels very funny, even if he has lived with Sakamoto Heiko for more than ten years, but he still can't keep up with his mother's out-of-the-box character.

For a while, she will be lively like a girl.,I'm curious about a lot of things.;And then I'll become a very gentle mother.,For Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Sakamoto style.,It's all meticulous.。

However, there is such a mother, life has never been dull, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto likes it very much...

In this way, the Sakamoto family was divided into two ways, one was the "dating" group, Akira Sakamoto and Heiko Sakamoto.

One group is the brother group, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and his younger brother, Kazuki Sakamoto.

Sakamoto's father and Sakamoto's mother were very relieved, so they let the two children walk in the crowd together.

And Sakamoto Kiyoshi also takes it for granted, because since he was a child, Sakamoto's parents have felt that Sakamoto Kiyoshi is a little adult, and he doesn't need to treat him in the same way as a normal child, because he understands it.

Therefore, in the eyes of Akira Sakamoto and Heiko Sakamoto, Sakamoto is an adult early in the morning.

Holding Xiao Fengfeng's hand, Sakamoto Kiyoshi and his younger brother followed the crowd heading to the Budokan and moved forward.

Maybe it's because there are too many people today, and even the nearby police have come here to maintain order, plus the RB people are very strict about politeness, so the speed of the crowd is not slow.

In Sakamoto Kiyoshi's estimate, it should take another ten minutes, and you should be able to get to the martial arts hall.

In these ten minutes, what should I do? . .

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was thinking about this, suddenly felt his hand and was gently pinched, and at first glance, it was a small wind.

So, Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter, Wind?"

"Onisan, look, the cherry blossoms are so beautiful!! Xiao Fengfeng pointed to the cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road with a happy face, very excited.

"Onisan, I want to pick up a cherry blossom petal, okay?" Then, Xiao Fengfeng opened his big eyes and stared at Sakamoto Kiyoshi's face cutely, as if if if Sakamoto Kiyoshi would cry if he said "no".

Seeing his younger brother's little expression, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also thought it was cute, and there was no reason to refuse at all, okay!

So, after Sakamoto Kiyoshi nodded, Xiao Fengfeng happily pulled Sakamoto Kiyoshi and strode towards the cherry blossom tree closest to the two of them.

RB, known as the "Land of Cherry Blossoms", is not a casual name.

Cherry blossoms are deciduous trees of the Rosaceae family that can grow up to 16 meters tall. However, in most parks, it is cultivated into a small tree, about 5 meters tall.

The flowers open before the leaves, and five or six are born on the branches into short racemes. The petals are white or light red, with a fragrance, and there is a difference between single petals and double petals, the single petals can bear tubercle, and the double petals are black when ripe, and the double petals do not bear fruit.

In the eyes of the RB people, the cherry blossom represents the pride of the nation, and it is a symbol of hard work, bravery, and wisdom just like the majestic Mt. Fuji.

Every year on March 15th, it is RB's cherry blossom festival. On this day, all men and women of RB go to the park or in the wild to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

At this year's cherry blossom festival, the Sakamoto family also went to the park to enjoy the cherry blossoms, looking at the large cherry blossoms in the park, it was like a pink cloud, so beautiful, under the urging of the wind, the cherry blossom petals, the scene of flying with the wind, is also shocking.

Now, although the cherry blossom trees on the side of the Budokan are not as dense as in the park, the cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road are full of trees, like clouds, and it is also a way for pedestrians walking on the road to feel the beauty of cherry blossoms in full bloom and fluttering.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Kaze Sakamoto walked under a cherry tree that grew luxuriantly and smelled the fragrance of cherry blossoms.

The scent of cherry blossoms is very faint, like the faint fragrance that some girls walk by.

Standing under the tree, pieces of petals, just like that, falling down from the tree, this scene, Sakamoto Kiyoshi thought of an idiom that perfectly expressed this situation.

Falling Colorful!

Xiao Feng Feng kept bouncing on the side, grabbing the falling petals with his hands, but the cherry blossom petals that were doing free fall movement, under the blowing of the wind, the trajectory of the fall was not so easy to capture, so there was not a single petal on the hand of Xiao Feng Feng who was jumping around.

At this time, Sakamoto Feng, who found that he had no way to deal with the petals at all, saw Sakamoto Kiyoshi standing on the side, and as soon as he saw Sakamoto Kiyoshi standing on the side, he ran to Sakamoto Kiyoshi's side, pulled Sakamoto Kiyoshi's sleeve, and said coquettishly, "Onisan, I can't catch the petals of cherry blossoms, can you help me?"

How can you refuse my brother's request?

Therefore, Sakamoto Kiyoshi said to Xiao Fengfeng, "Then I'll teach you a method, you will definitely be able to catch the cherry blossom petals that fall down!"

"Well, what's the method? tell me quickly!!" Hearing his brother say that there was a way to catch the petals, Xiao Fengfeng's eyes lit up.

"You first look at the petals that have fallen on the ground, where are the most petals, you stand there, and then you stretch out your hands, so that there will be cherry blossom petals, and they will fall on your hands. Kiyoshi Sakamoto was just observing, where would the petals of this cherry tree land in the wind.

Soon, Kiyoshi Sakamoto found out that the southeast wind was blowing today, so in this case, as long as the light wind stood at a certain point in the northwest direction of the tree, there would be a high chance that he would catch the falling cherry blossom petals.

However, Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not directly tell Xiao Fengfeng to let him stand in the northwest, but let him discover and find this law by himself.

After all, only when you discover something new, you will be more impressed.

So, Xiao Fengfeng lowered his head and observed the pattern of cherry blossoms falling on the ground.

A few minutes later, Xiao Fengfeng still discovered the law of this wind direction, walked to the northwest of the cherry blossom tree, stood there, looked at the cherry blossom tree with a reverent face, obediently stretched out his hands, palms open, waiting for the petals to "throw themselves into the net".

Seeing this scene, Sakamoto Kiyoshi felt that this picture was very cute and a little aesthetic, so he took out the camera in his backpack, used the cherry blossom tree as the background, and took pictures of the little model Xiao Fengfeng.

Click!

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's photography skills are still very good.

After all, he studied music under Masaharu Fukuyama for several years, and some of Fukuyama's private goods were dug up by Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and even photography techniques were learned by Sakamoto Kiyoshi stubbornly.

Fukuyama said: Are you here to learn music, or are you here to hollow out me?!!

Xiao Fengfeng has been holding his hands and hearts, as if touching the cherry blossom tree, suddenly, a petal floating with the wind from the tree, slowly from the tree, fell into Xiao Fengfeng's palm.

Xiao Fengfeng looked at the cherry blossoms in his palm with an incredulous face, gently held the small petals, and shouted loudly to Sakamoto Kiyoshi, "Onisan! I received the cherry blossoms!!

While shouting, Xiao Fengfeng took the petal and held it high, as if he was afraid that Sakamoto Kiyoshi would not see it, and a very bright smile appeared on his face, which was very cute with his movements.

At this time, Sakamoto Kiyoshi immediately pressed the shutter and recorded Sakamoto Feng, who was holding the cherry blossoms and showing a bright smile, and the cherry blossoms flying in the sky behind him.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto decided, this photo is called "Sakura Smile".
