At PICA in Yamanashi, I found haruzemi.
It is a small cicada that sings in spring. That alone made the trip feel different.
A spring cicada changes the sound of the place
Most people think of cicadas as a summer sound.
So hearing one in spring makes you stop and listen. It feels like the season is quietly shifting.
Small discoveries make trips better
A trip is not only the big destination.
Sometimes the thing you remember is a sound, a tree, a bug, or a moment when your child notices something first.
What I want to remember
When I travel, I want to leave enough room to notice small things like this.
