Ohanami




I went to Ohanami (Cherry blossom-viewing picnic) last Sunday with my friends.

Ohanami is very popular among Japanese in Sakura (cherry blossoms) season.

Poeple eat Bento (boxed meal) and drink Sake under fully blooming cherry trees.

We were very lucky that it was very warm sunny sunday and it was the day that cherry reached fully bloomed. (untill saturday, it was not yet blooming fully, coz it had been a bit chilly.)



Even we look down on the ground, cute modest wild flowers are blooming.
I enjoyed their beauty too.
