Japan’s spring season is famous for the blooming of cherry blossoms throughout the country from around mid-march, but if you’re in Japan you would have noticed that the pink season actually starts around a month earlier, when the
ume blossoms (or plum blossoms) start to bloom.
Ume blossoms are similar to cherry blossoms, but often come with much brighter hues. However, their similarity is strong enough to confuse even the most knowledgeable expert.
In Japan, almost every flower has its very own festival, and the ume blossom is no exception, with festivals celebrating its beauty throughout Japan.

Since May 2007, US-based digital artist Mike Winkelmann (who goes by the name Beeple) has posted a new artwork online every day.
He posted the 5,000th one in January, and has now packaged them into an enormous digital collage titled Everydays: The First 5000 Days, which will be auctioned online by Christie’s on February 25.
The work will be sold in purely digital form, as a 21,069 × 21,069-pixel JPEG file and a “non-fungible token” or NFT.
NFTs use blockchain technology to give the successful bidder unquestioned ownership of the work.
NFT artworks are becoming a serious business. Last year, Beeple made US$3.5 million on an NFT auction.
