Since I arrived in Japan I haven't had much time to experience Japan fully. I have been to a few festivals, watched some fireworks, gone to a temple for the New Year, but that was pretty much it for a long time. This past week, I was able to add another Japanese cultural experience under my belt. "Ohanami", which translates to "Cherry-blossom (Sakura) viewing". I knew that there were many cherry-blossoms during the spring time in Japan, but I did not know that there was a type of celebration that went with the season. This really made me happy. In the photographs, you will see a few different scenes with the cherry-blossoms that I was able to take at the viewing. Please enjoy!
