Today, Meteorological Agency has announced the cherry blooming in Tokyo. It is a little bit early this year.


Near my house, I found one cherry flower. Looks like we can have a cherry picnic in this weekend.


4 words phrase "San-Kan-Shi-On" represents this time of season. San is 3. Kan means cold. Shi is 4, and On means warm.


Thus, it means, we have three cold days and four warm days, which tells it is getting warm day by day and spring is coming.

Did you know there are over 600 different cherry trees in Japan.  Lear more about cherry tree that is very special to us Japanese.  More information at Wikipedia.
