That's our joke about the Sakura season.
Better yet, it's the truth about the Sakura season.
When I arrived in Tokyo last Saturday, the cherry blossoms were just beginning to bloom. By the time we went to GRIPS, it was already in full bloom, all the way to the top of the trees.
Come Friday, the rains came and started to wash away the beautiful white and pink blooms. And by the time we had our indoor Hanami yesterday, the trees have already gone from white to green. Then, in a few days, the blooms will be on the ground, and that's the Sakura season for 2015.
So, this visit was really perfect in terms of timing. The delicate blooms set the perfect backdrop to this equally meaningful, albeit short, visit to Japan.
Until the next season.
