Hanagumori

Regardless of the best weekend for Hanami (cherry flower viewing) in Tokyo, it was cloudy in the morning. As the expression Hanagumori (cloudy weather in Hanami season) indicates, it is likely to be cloudy in Hanami season. I hope to go for hanami under the blue sky on a mild day.
Despite my wish, it started to rain in the afternoon. In addition, it was very cold today. It must be a rule of nature that it has an unseasonablely cold day during Hanami season every year.
Even if it is unsuitable weather, Japanese do not give up hanami!! Lots of people were around hanami spots here and there. It can be not flower viewing, but people watching...
