The Cub hasn't arrived yet. It seems it'll take a little longer. Hmm.
Since it's gotten warmer, I rode my bike along the Tamagawa Cycling Road to see the cherry blossoms. The blossoms were in full bloom all along the embankment, and the weather was great, so it felt wonderful. On the riverbed, there were people flying RC helicopters and planes, groups with tents enjoying barbecues, students running, elderly women returning from shopping, and serious "Riko" riders—it was fun to see so many different people. I happened to stop by a place called the Fuchu Nakagōdo no Mori Museum, which is a large park facility where old elementary schools, town offices, and wealthy merchants' mansions were relocated and restored; it was more interesting than I expected. The interiors of the buildings are open to the public, and I could feel the presence of the people who used them back then through the scratches in the materials and the grime on the stair walls. It was a relaxing and lovely place. I think I'll come back to the Tamagawa River again this year.
It's late, but I've drawn the bonus illustration for the "POSTMAN BAG" created beforehand. I'm truly sorry.
