Note: The Hanami festival, literally means "flower viewing", is an annual festival in April, which includes activities like drinking (mostly sake), dancing, singing, eating well prepared food, etc. It's a much like celebration to Japaneses than just an activity of enjoying the sakura's blossom and its falling petals in the spring wind. Thus, most people would take a break from their jobs to do some Hanami no matter how busy they might be.
Hya,hah....If we can't do hanami then we can just have the drinks indoors.April 4thBecause it's raining continuously the sakura might all fall down...Akebono too, come here. I'll give you a kiss.
