Again it is お花見ごろ

Sakura starts blooming in Japan. April is the center of Flower Festival. People go to the park and enjoy the blooming scene of the beautiful sakura. - families, coworkers, friends are gathering under the trees and picnicking in the park. Actually the activity is called "桜の見ごろ" or "お花見ごろ".

An old friend sent me a card every year in the past decades, reminding me the festival. It kind likes the Christmas card in the West. In nowadays, letters and cards are rare - most people communicate via email. I surely treasure any letters and cards from Far East!
