Sakura Blooms Again !
Date : 5th April 2008
Occasion : Sakura (Cherry Blossom)
Place : Ueno Garden, T.G.I Friday
_________________________
During the week or two (3rd week to 4th week of march) for which the Sakura (National Flower) blooms to its best in Japan, japanese people flock to the gardens and hold places under the Sakura trees, bring up lot of stuff to eat and drink and party all day long. During these weeks, even on the working days too, lot of companies organize there "Ohanami" (Japanese for "to see flower") parties where the newest and the youngest in the office are given a task of securing the place and arranging the party. Just chill and enjoy the garden we went to which is called "Ueno Koen" with friends namely Sukhdev, Darren, Rajan, shraddha along with me n swapna.It had a long street with Sakura Trees on both the sides, a fountain, a shrine, some interesting food stalls, museum and very very crowded shopping street of "AmeyaYokocho" among other things.
So sit back and enjoy the photo tour.

Sakura Bazaar - Year 2006
April 01, 2006
April 1 was the day when Indian Embassy, here in Tokyo organizaed a function called SAKURA BAZAAR. I think their idea was to bring together all Indians in Tokyo together and make them to see the wonderful national flower of Japan - SAKURA- to its fullest bloom. The place where this was organized is called "Kudanshita". I and swapna reached that station 1 pm and the crowd was incredible. Majority was of japanese people who have come to see the the cherry blossom at a park just outside the station and others were mostly indians who were supposed to reach to embassy Sakura bazaar held at indian embassy.
As soon as we came out of the station, there was a small lake, fully surrounded by Sakura Flowers...and this scene was phenomenal. The road fully crowded...and all the sides of lake fully occupied by people from all over the places. The embassy was actually just 5 mins away from that station, but it took us around 30 mins to reach there b`coz of the crowd.
At last seeing the flowers on the road, we managed to reach at Embassy, where all the indian citizens in japan have gathered. The embassy was fully packed and the atmosphere was exactly similar to a "Shaadi" (marriage) thing in our India.The volunteer groups from south india, west india and ll over the indian places have organized the different stalls for Dosa/Idli,Chaat,Chhole-Batture, Wada, Sabudan Khichadi, Chai and what not. Apart from indians, the japanese friends also acoompanied them. The place was jam packed man, you could feel that you are in india. There were clothes stalls too, where indian women were helping out japanese counterpart for trying them indian dresses like Sari...
To summarize it was very much like an indian party and this function helped us to see the beautiful Sakura, the lovely food and lot of friends where you could meet at one single place.Looking forward to such more programs and also thinking of volunteering with a food stall with some intersting stuff.
If interseting in seeing some more flowers and a glimpse of indians here, have a look at the adjoining photo album named same as "Sakura Bazaar"
