It's sakura (cherry blossom) season in Japan!
People go to park to have "hanami" which is the time when people view
and appreciate the short-lived cherry flowers. People gather to celebrate and
have a picnic feast/party under the cherry blossom trees.
See above for what to bring for "hanami party".
Don't forget to bring a garbage bag!
Enjoy! xox

THE season of picnic is very soon to open...yyyyyyyes
Would be delighted to join one of those parties!
We had a day where it seemed like all the flowering pear trees were shaking their blossoms loose - big clouds of petals - so lovely.... I love how the Japanese have a way of celebrating this...

I love your drawings! I've always wanted to visit Japan, especially during the sakura season.
those drawings are perfect to tell the hanami story! I hope you had an opportunity to celebrate a bit as well
I love your "lunchbox" illustration. Wish we had cherry blossom season in Florida, too!
Cherry blossom season looks so beautiful every time I see images of it on the telly and in the paper. Glorious!
