"Sakura" Clips

An academic year starts in April in Japan.  At stationary shops you can see more and more "cherry blossoms" on writing paper, postcards, stamps, and so on.

I found cute paper clips. It may be characteristic of Japanese to connect five thin, heart-shaped petals with "sakura" (a cherry blossom.)

 In March, tons of paper  come and go at my office.  Most of them are year-end reports.  While dealing with them, I sometimes feel that it's still in the middle of a winter.  The "sakura" clips will remind me that spring is here.
