I think the hanami party is a completely different entity. Having said that, I’m fond of drinking too and sakura do look different after a few, particularly at night.

Hmm…would I say sakura are over-rated? In my opinion, yes. But then that’s just because I’m not really the type to stand around and appreciate flowers. They are beautiful, and I’m not about to tell someone who appreciates them more than I that they’re wrong. I just happen to not really care a whole lot about them.

Yeah, the photos I took of Ueno Park carefully avoid all the people underneath. Inokashira Park is fairly empty at night and the sakura is all the more beautiful for it.

Yeah, I took a pass on hanami this year. But, I do love the beauty of sakura season. It’s usually the odd tree-lined street that I happen upon by chance that provides a moving scene.
