🎴March Cherry1

I imagined a story in the March Hanafuda.

There is a famous tragic love story in Japan about a warlord named Minamoto no Yoshitsune and a traditional japanese dancer named Shizuka no Gozen.
Yoshitsune's life was threatened by his brother Yoritomo.
The two fled to Mount Yoshino to hide from Yoritomo.
I heard that it was a cold winter.
It was a cold winter, and that place became the place where their final farewell.

The cherry blossoms and red strips of card, the word "Miyoshino" is written.
Miyoshino" means Mount Yoshino.
Mount Yoshino is one of the most famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Japan.

I will leave it to your imagination whether the two Sakura no Suhuda represent the final farewell or the moment when the two will meet again.
