Hanami - enjoying the Sakura!
Hanami season starts in a few days or so in Tokyo. It is the time honored tradition of sitting in a park somewhere under the sakura (cherry blossom) trees and enjoying time drinking and eating with friends. The cherry blossoms only bloom for a short period, around a week - so their fleeting beauty is very appreciated. Again, in pandemic times, these gatherings will be more limited - but hopefully people will take precautions and still find a way to enjoy this tradition.
