Ohanami

Hana = flower, mi = viewing. The first week or so of April is an occassion for nighttime barbeques under the pink cherry blossoms bathed in lantern light. The flowers only last for about 10 days, so people come out in droves. The park in which I live--Hijiyama--is famous in Hiroshima for its sakura (cherry trees), so the normally pacific nights are punctuated by Japanese fight songs and inebriated shouting matches.

Well done on a nice blog Zach. I was searching for information on oasis hot tubs and came across your post Ohanami - not quite what I was looking for related to oasis hot tubs but very interesting all the same!

If you have a moment, why not hop over and take a look at my report on hot tubs.
