A crow was perched on the branch of a pine tree planted around the pond in the center of Rikugien Garden. Its figure was a beautiful silhouette. It is not uncommon to see crows in Tokyo. They are everywhere. Along with pigeons, they are probably the most common bird you see.

Since ancient times, crows have been regarded as a symbol of good omen, and the three-legged Yatagarasu (three-legged crow) even appears in the myth of the Jimmu conquest of Japan. Recently, however, crows have become much less popular. They are sometimes even treated as pests. The crows must be feeling the trend of the times.
