Cherry Blossoms April 17-22, 2001
During the Cherry blossom
season, the shrine is lit up at night, and people have drinking
picnics were
they marvel at the beautiful flowers.
Gin Blossoms
This is the Hanami party
I went to with my fellow teachers from the 'number two'
elementary
school. We got there around six and left around ten, to continue at
the
second location. We parked ourselves on a big tarp, with piles of food in the
middle.
They
even brought along a little gas stove so we could have oden, yakitori
and hot tea.
mmmm...
The party next to us
brought along a karaoke machine. A real karaoke machine, with
the giant sound box and big screen TV for the videos. They put it right under a
cherry tree.
