2008 cherry blossom charter #2

In an effort to avert any action by the Japanese internet authorities, here are some more photos of pink petals in their prime. A second mention of this seasonal signpost happily keeping Tokyo Times in line with governmental guidelines in honour of hanami hype.

That said, it is an admittedly very pretty time of year, when, as well as being particularly packed,

it’s a time for paternal peace,

pictures of, erm, pictures,

and, perhaps predictably, the perfect place for some Kitty-chan kinship.
