元駐在員「やっぱり日本の桜は美しい…」
みなさま、こんにちは!元アメリカ駐在員のしろくまです。 Twitter 元アメリカ駐在員しろくまブログ   3月も末ですね。期末ということでお忙しい方もたくさんいらっしゃると思います。   そんな中ではありますが、今日は日本人の心、桜について書きたいと思います。   当たり前だった桜 駐在する前、桜って当たり前に4月になると咲いて、桜を愛でて「あー今年も春になったなー」という感じでした。   そしてそれに対して何も特別な感情は無かったです。   寒い季節が終わってあったかくなって良かったなー、くらいですね。   花見で外でお酒飲むとかもしなかったタイプです。普通に花見の時期ってまだ外寒くないですか!?笑     駐在中見れなかった桜 それが駐在でアメリカに行くと、私の場合桜を見る機会が一切なくなってしまったんですよね。   4月になっても桜を見る機会なく、ネットニュースでちらっと開花宣言を見るくらいなもので。   5年もアメリカにいると年々桜を見ないことが普通になっていき。。   環境に慣れるって日々の環境だけでなく、こういった所もそうなんだな〜と感じますね。     久しぶりの桜 そして去年の春。本帰国してひっさしぶりに日本の桜を目にしたんですね。   その時は、懐かしさと、あー日本に帰ってきたんだなーという感慨深さ。   自分の中にあったものが一旦なくなって、だけども別にそれを求めるわけでもなく、でもまた日本で再開すると自分の中で「あーやっぱいいわ〜」となる感じ。   駐在前、決して花見が好きとか毎年桜見ながら酒飲む、みたいなことをするタイプではありませんでしたが、改めて桜を見るとやっぱええですね!   そう言えば子供たちは桜見ると綺麗だな〜とか春が来たな〜とかはあるのかな。。。今度聞いてみよう。笑   アメリカ生活の方が長い子供達なので、その辺りの感性は親とは違うものを既に持っているかも!?     儚い桜 ちょうど先日、いつもより早いタイミングで開花宣言がされましたね。   2023年は全国的にだいぶ早いタイミングで桜が咲き始めましたね。観測史上最早という所もあるようで。   確かに暖かくなるのが早かったですからね。   桜は儚いもので、あっという間に散ってしまい、まさにこの記事を書いている今、雨が降っているんですね。...
