The cherry blossoms have already started to open in Tokyo. The Japan Meteorological Agency checked a special tree inside Yasukuni Shrine last Sunday and said that the blossoms had started to open there. Other early prefectures include Hiroshima and Fukuoka, but here in Nagoya we are still waiting. The Japan Meteorological Agency checked the special tree in Nagoya yesterday, but none of the blossoms were open. Today we might have better luck. One thing is for sure. By the end of the month, the whole of Japan will be pink! (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
