Hanami is basically the Japanese term for enjoying cherry blossoms, or other such blossoms. Such a monumental event is held each year in the two weeks of spring when the sakura are all in bloom. Such activities go on: drinking, eating, and some very bad singing. Salary men, housewives, cashiers, and college students alike take off some time from thier busy lives to enjoy the sakurra. Historic Kyoto and sakrua groves begin to look like a 8 am commuter train. Hanami is to be enjoyed by old and young alike. Like politics their is competion between the famous hanami spots to be seen as the 'better' place to have hanami. Hanami candiate spots in Kyoto, Arashiyama, and Nara put up advertisements in trains and buses trying to beckon hanami goers to choose them to do their celebrations.
Nice pictures and i love hanami. But how is this politics?
