Carole had already taken the most beautiful title: "Sakura opens up" in Tokyo ads, so he had to improvise. Bravo, Carole, the little flower has finally opened!
She was late this year, climate change or not. She hatched a week after the date announced by the weather forecast the most followed by Japan, the ones that show the "line of cherry blossom" dating back three thousand kilometers of the archipelago, from Okinawa Hokkaido in March until late April or early May. We reread
article last year to understand why the variance in the estimates is the bazaar in booking sites with blue tarps for picnics with friends and colleagues. This year, for flower viewing (hanami so), we choose the canal - concrete - which extends on both sides of the Naka-Meguro Station, west of Shibuya . A walk three kilometers below the foliage, the flowers of cherry trees grouped into small balls, you'd walk under large flakes suspended in time above our heads. Time will resume next week advantage: the petals fall by thousands of walkers, and the canal is covered with a milky layer.
Our favorite game is not just to walk quietly and snapping trees and flowers, but also to strafe the gunners: all targets outside of the big mobile phone 300 mm zoom, our Japanese friends do not stop . The goal is not only captures the little flower, but all that lay before: the spouse, children, self (in acrobatic position, even if viewfinders, mobile phones facilitate self-scaling). Do not forget our four legged friends, prepared to pose as stars, languid mouth on the head of his mate, amid spring sing! Those who stop, that they are invited to arise under the floral arch long tables with friends and colleagues, good food Japanese or western, beer, wine and sake flowing out, faces glowing laughter and tops. A carnival atmosphere of frank debonair!
And in a few days: "Sakura, fly away" ... until next year.
