Season of enjoying cherry blossoms, “Sakura” in Japanese, is coming !

Sakura usually blooms in late March and becomes in full early April, but it is delaying this year because of the long lasting colder winter.

During Sakura season, we, Japanese enjoy various events that have something to do with Sakura. The most popular one is “O-Hanami” (お花見）!

O-Hanami, or Hanami as simpler, means enjoying Sakura watching with eating and drinking with friends.  Japanese people love O-Hanami very much. Well,,, the purpose of some people may be to loon with delicious foods and drinks but not actually watching Sakura, though,,, it has been gracious Japanese spring seasonal tradition.

Today, I found a cherry tree in my neighborhood had its blossoms start opening.

This reminded me that I had a nice Tsumugi Kimono with Sakura pattern !

The blossoms are depicted by weaving.

Imagine, how nice to go to O-Hanami in Sakura pattern Kimono !
