| (imho): | In the spring, lush willow branches are fluttering in the wind, as if weaving a cloth by twisting threads. On the other hand, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, as if the cloth is broken. |

The contrast between the fresh green of the willow and the color of the cherry blossoms, and the appearance of the cloth forming and breaking, is impressive.
