Preparing for a hanami (flower-viewing) party. One of the truly great Japanese customs. Good food, good drink, good company, beautiful scenery, and a good time...
I have always dreamed about visiting Japan during spring, to see the cherry trees blossom. I would give anything to be able to be there... Thank you for sharing these pics with us, to continue fueling the dream (and keeping money in the piggy bank!)
Well, thanks. Would you invite me to one? I can pay for my trip, but it would certainly help if we could save on accomodations in Japan. I've heard they're astronomically expensive! Nah, just kidding (about the lodging) lol.
Lovely, Kyklops, the beauty of spring. What a beautiful sight to greet you each morning, each evening.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, it is snowing today in Chicago -- our wait for spring continues.

GT, I can't honestly say that I miss Canadian winters very much... Miyazaki is somewhat "famous" for being in bloom year-round.
ReplyDeleteUsual Stuff, I hope you get to enjoy a "hanami" party someday!
