Another season of cherry blossoms has come and gone - and once again I was remiss in actually pulling together a 花見 (Hanami - literally flower viewing) party. But that doesn't mean I didn't have time to go out and take pictures of other people's.











Again, as I so often do, I marvel at the ability of large crowds of people to gather in tight spaces, consume quantities of alcohol that would stun a yak, cook with open flames, and have zero instances of violence break out.
