Spring Woods (final draft)

Spring Woods
A Sweet Scent of Cherry Flowers at Tempura

Roxanne Sun 2010/5/7




Tempura is a romantic island in Second Life with various kinds of relaxing places, such as beautiful gardens, waterfalls, forests, and restaurants for exercising, dancing, meditating, sleeping, and view seeing, and etc. One of the most attractive places situated at the west side of Tempura is a garden called Spring Wood, which appears to be full of sweet scent. “I love the fantasy in this garden,” Jacque Dove said. He is a samurai in Second Life and a pilot in real life. He said it is the most beautiful place he has ever met.



(This is the special pose.)
According to Chikae Ella, an officer of Tempura Sim, when Tempura Island was almost completed in May 2008, there were only cherry trees in full blossom at Spring Woods. The sprinkling cherry flower is considered as a kind of cool symbol, a flower of a good last moment that has no fatuous regrets or adhesion to the life and goes away without more ado. However, the officers of Tempura Island thought that it was not enough to put cherry trees in the Spring Woods for the sake of Japanese religion. The spring woods are located on the west side. In Japanese Buddhism, the west is considered as the West Pure Land which is a sanctuary where ancestors live. So, they decided to plant lotus blooms, the flower of Buddhism. The image of lotus is often connected with a Buddha sitting on them with a special pose, sitting with crossed legs (which we can do in Spring Woods). Therefore, they assumed the lotus was the most suitable flower for the Spring Woods. Visitors can practice that special pose in Spring Woods.






Spring Woods seems to be the best mud for cultivating seeds of love. The picturesque scene and romantic atmosphere make lovers feel relaxed and closer to each other. A couple, who met in Tempera a month ago, said that they were planning to chat in the garden after the dance because the view is wonderful. “If things all go right, I’ll propose to her in that garden.” Gaby Gavilan said to me via im.

A great observatory I found near Spring Woods is on the left side of the hill. There is a tree upon which is a huge nest with a big bird and five big eggs. Sitting on any egg, you can see the whole scenery of Spring Woods. It is another pleasing way to soak in Spring Woods!

Spring Wood at Tempura (revised)

Spring Wood at Tempura
A place in Tempura full of sweet scent that attracts people all around world coming for a visit
Roxanne Sun 2010/5/7

It is said that the spring is a season when a hypothalamus in the brain is stimulated by the warm sunshine and the sexual hunger, a part of human instinct is enhanced. The spring is also a season for love for living beings.

Tempura is a romantic island in Second Life for avatars to relax. There are many kinds of activities for us to do such as exercising, dancing, meditating, sleeping, and view seeing, and etc. There are also garden, water fall, and forest in Tempura. However, the most special place in Tempura is Spring Wood, full of sweet scent that attracts people all around world coming for a visit.

When the Tempura was almost completed in May 2008, there were only cherry trees in full blossom at Spring Woods situated on the west side of Tempura. The sprinkling cherry flower is considered as a kind of cool symbol, a flower of a good last moment that has no fatuous regrets or adhesion to the life and goes away without more ado.

However, they thought that it was not enough to put cherry blossom in the spring woods. Furthermore, the spring woods are located on the west side. In the Japanese Buddhism, the west is considered as the West Pure Land that is a sanctuary which is the living place of ancestors. They decided to put lotus bloom that is the flower of Buddhism. Buddha sits on the lotus with a special sitting pose, sitting with crossed legs (which we can do in Spring Woods). Therefore, they assumed the lotus was the most suitable plant for the spring woods.

Let’s visit the spring woods at Tempura! You might be hit by an arrow of love in the sweet scent of the lotus flowers! By the way, there is a secret place with fantastic view and big bird. Don’t miss that great nest!

*Clip about Tempura:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeKO7undpsI&feature=player_embedded
In a magical forest, a beautiful princess awoke. She was guided into a castle hosted by a cat. Is this a dream, fantasy, or perform? Showing up out of nowhere, there was a mysterious gentleman. Soon, two got a charge out of dancing, carrying a torch for love. Then, the time flying passed. Unconsciously, the princess relaxed herself at the lotus field together with the cat, envisioning the incident in the castle. Were these things in Tempura itself, a dream, fantasy, or perform of something else?

Spring Woods at Tempura

Spring Wood at Tempura

a place in Tempura full of sweet scent that attracts people all around world coming for a visit

Roxanne Sun

Botanical gardens flooded with lights, shining water, and the sky is amazing. Also, the music is heartwarming, it makes you feel relax. However, there is a place in Tempura full of sweet scent that attracts people all around world coming for a visit. It is the spring woods.

When the Tempura was almost completed at May 2008, there were only cherry trees in full blossom at the spring woods situated on the west side of Tempura. The sprinkling cherry flower is considered as a kind of cool symbol, a flower of a good last moment that has no fatuous regrets or adhesion to the life and goes away without more ado.

But they thought that it was not enough to put cherry blossom in the spring woods.Furthermore, the spring woods are located on the west side. In the Japanese Buddhism, the west is considered as the West Pure Land that is a sanctuary which is the living place of ancestors.

At a time in the past, there was Period of Warring States in Japan, when warring loads of regions were struggling for supremacy and territory. When they were face to face for starting battle, they tried to position their troops on the west side as close as possible. They believed that it was close to the West Pure Land where their ancestors are, and they could go there easily when they would die in battle.

In the sea of woods of the spring, they decided to put lotus bloom that is the flower of Buddhism. The lotus bloom is a flower on which Buddha is sitting in Pure Land. Buddha sits on the lotus with a special sitting pose, Kekka-Fuza (sitting with crossed legs). They thought the lotus is the most suitable one for the spring woods.

It is said that the spring is a season when a hypothalamus in the brain is stimulated by the warm sunshine and the sexual hunger, a part of human instinct is enhanced. The spring is also a season for love for living beings.

Please visit the spring woods at Tempura. You might be hit by an arrow of love in the sweet scent of the lotus flowers!

Video story:

In a magical forest, a beautiful princess awoke. She was guided into a castle hosted by a cat. Is this a dream, fantasy, or perform? Showing up out of nowhere, there was a mysterious gentleman. Soon, two got a charge out of dancing, carrying a torch for love. Then, the time flying passed. Unconsciously, the princess relaxed herself at the lotus field together with the cat, envisioning the incident in the castle. Were these things in Tempura itself, a dream, fantasy, or perform of something else?
