Hi! I'm Kei Narujima. This is a blog about flowers, plants, and bugs I saw in CENTRAL Tokyo, and sometimes art and Japanese culture that bring you a smile or make you think (or so I hope)!! こんにちは。花や虫、そして時々日本の文化などについて書いてます😊。
Solanum Nigrum (Black Nightshade) 犬酸漿(イヌホオズキ)
Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。
I first thought this was solanum carolinense or Carolina horsenettle, or more commonly radical weed I saw last June, but the flowers are too tiny for radical weed. So, I googled and found that they are solanum nigrum, or commonly black nightshade or blackberry nightshade.

Yoko Cherry is Now In Full Bloom! 陽光桜は満開!
Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。
This MAY BE prunus campanulata 'Yoko' or Yoko cherry, i.e., a hybrid between cerasus x yedoensis 'Amagi-yoshino' and Taiwan cherry (prunus campanulata). The baby pink is so pretty! I said "may be" because I couldn't find a tree tag...(unlike the Yoko cherry trees I saw several days ago, which have a tag.)

The head of the legal department of a company I used to work for (I will call him "Hiroshi") is Japanese and didn't speak English at all. He had forgotten everything about English, not only the vocabulary but also the grammar. The problem was that like many Japanese people, Hiroshi wanted to use English whenever he could. For example, he spoke in English to me, who am Japanese, and then translated what he had said to me into Japanese. You find it stupid? It is but I sympathize with him, too because I know how he felt, i.e., inferiority complex regarding English. The company was his first non-Japanese employer. I just hoped nothing bad would happen to him.
