Cherry blossom time is almost here. There is a mania for blossom viewing that begins with simple anticipation of the spectacular yearly event. Posters in the metro, on the street and on magazines all now show pictures of the lovely pink blooms. The seasonal pictures in Narita airport are all about the pink now. On the evening news, there are predictions about when the blossoms will reach certain areas- much like the Fall Color Peak in New England. Well, the good news is that the predicted date for Sakura in Tokyo is March 24. Mom and Dad arrive on the 25th. Perfect timing. Expect to see lots of pictures. This will probably be the last time I get to see this wonder of springtime in Japan.
