# OUT & ABOUT in Japan # ... Cherry Blossom Season



       Cherry Blossom season is certainly a big event here in Japan.

     It's also that time of year when everyone packs away their Winter frowns and the Spring mood begins to gather.  Spring in Japan is very special!!

     The season actually starts a little early when the Plum Blossom is the first to appear.  This flower is quite small and is a purple/pink delight that starts to get the locals excited knowing that Spring is just around the corner.
