Japanese Camellia (Camellia Japonica) ツバキ（椿）

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

The restaurant I pass by every early Saturday morning always has a wooden sign that says "Opening soon" and yesterday I found this Japanese camellia, which also would be "opening (up) soon"! A Japanese camellia in full bloom is beautiful but a camellia flower getting ready to open is also beautiful. I like the term "open (up) soon" much better than "closed."

The restaurant is an eel restaurant in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, named Oedo and was established in 1800! Wow! That explains its authentic traditional Japanese atmosphere.

毎週土曜に前を通るお店の前にはいつも「準備中」の木札が置かれています。で、昨日見つけたのがこのツバキ。同じく準備中でクスッとしてしまいました。

ちなみにこのお店、大江戸という鰻懐石割烹で1800年創立。道理で雰囲気があるはずです。
