Spring parasol, her call no longer reaches the ship.

There was a woman with a spring parasol watching a ship as it left the dock. Even if she called his name now, it could no longer be heard from on board the ship.

We could not see her face under the parasol from where we stood. All we could see was the graceful spring parasol that was quietly seeing off the departing ship.

Coming home with a balloon tied on his traveling bag.

He came home with a balloon tied on his traveling bag. Perhaps someone gave him a balloon on the way home from his trip. From his good mood and from that balloon floating in the air, it was clear that he enjoyed his trip. His spring trip must have been lively and exciting.

After a downpour, butterburs sprout under the blue sky.

The fragrance of plum blossoms, at the edge of love and hate.

The clear blue sky is certainly beautiful after a downpour. But, however hard it may rain, there is never a rain that doesnft stop. And always a refreshing blue sky appears.

I found the butterburs sprouting from the ground that was washed by the violent storm. No matter how severe the winter may be, spring never fails to come.

The fragrance of plum blossoms, at the edge of love and hate.

The fragrance of plum blossoms, at the edge of love and hate.

gSpring melancholyh, as they say, makes us feel a little unstable in spring.

Although I love him very much, sometimes I think I hate him, too. It is difficult to know whether I love him or I hate him.

The fragrance of plum blossoms is very fresh but somehow enchanting. With the magic of the plum blossomsf fragrance, a womanfs heart sways.
