My prediction was wrong. The sakura appeared on Saturday!

Our long walk took us along the Kanda river near Edogawabashi. The park there is lined with cherry trees that hang over the water. So beautiful!

The trees should be in full bloom later this week. I wonder if the season will last until next weekend; once they start to blossom the trees get it over with pretty quickly. The local sakura matsuri are all scheduled for early April—about 2 weeks from now—I think the trees will be green by then! Posted by kuri at March 18, 2002 07:21 AM
