Hanami

Hanami means flower watching. It is the most important season for the Japanese. They have cook outs under the trees and party till late.
As one friend told me the sakura is a perfect representation of beauty. It is simple, beautiful, fragile and very temporary.

This picture was taken on my morning run, too early for most of the locals. They rent out tables by the hour. Looks like it would be a fun place to hang out.
