Re: The Most Japanese Thing of All: Sakura
It is certainly a nice time to be in Japan. Here in Shizuoka-ken, the sakura are in full bloom. The ume/plum trees are over, the white sakura type of trees are mostly over, but the pink ones are in full bloom. I moved to Fuji a year ago, and I didn't know where to go to see the sakura. So, I missed them last year. This time, however, I know where to go.
My favorite is at night, when the lanterns are lit up. I took this picture below on my regular SLR camera many years ago, so sorry this scan isn't as pretty as it should be.
