O Hanami - 15th April



This weekend I was helping out at a local High School's English camp again and so only really had Sunday to myself. As we are in prime time sakura (cherry blossom) season and I had yet to attend the Japanese tradition of a Hanami (cherry blossom viewing party), Bel and I decided we would take it upon ourselves to find a spot under a cherry tree, drink some wine and generally just appreciate the pink-ness... as per any other Hanami.

Bel had managed to locate a park and so off we went with our picnic in one hand and our cameras at the ready. We were not going to be put off by the big grey clouds, which did eventually produce about an hour of rain!


We were relieved to find out that the park was a "gun-hunting prohibited area"



Just your average, run-of-the-mill Japanese park!
