Hanami 4/6

A classic Japanese spring tradition

My first hanami* experience was in Osaka-jo koen** Under the shade of a magnificent pink blanket When the wind blows sakura*** would flutter down A number would fall on my head, an elegant crown

Notes:

*Hanami（花見）＝ literally "flower viewing", when used it usually refers to having a picnic under sakura trees **Osaka-jo koen（大阪城公園）＝ Osaka Castle Park ***Sakura（桜）＝ cherry blossoms
