I'm a bit sad that the Cherry Blossom season is over. I like the way Japanese people get together in parks, have parties and play sports. Everyone's in a good mood.

For you history buffs... During the Heian Period (794-1191), Japanese sought to emulate many practices from China, including the social phenomenon of flower viewing (hanami), where the imperial households, poets, singers and other aristocrats would gather and celebrate under the blossoms. In Japan, cherry trees were planted and cultivated for their beauty, for the adornment of the grounds of the nobility of Kyoto, at least as early as 794. In China, the ume "plum" tree (actually a species of apricot) was held in highest regard, but by the middle of the ninth century, the cherry blossom had replaced the plum as the favored species in Japan.
I leave you with a photo I took in Tokyo. I hope you all had a chance to take in this great time in Japan !
