Has the tweating of birds flitting around the newly blossomed trees caught your senses? Not too long ago, I read a nature magazine article that talked about the interaction between birds and trees spring. Somehow, the movement and singing of birds starts the budding processes in trees! So bird song is not only a sign for animals and humans that spring is coming soon and we should prepare accordingly, but also for trees.
Did the pink and white blossoms of cherry trees come to mind when you first started hearing their melodies? It certainly did for us, because Spring = Cherry Blossom viewing season.
We've already started the conversation with friends about dates for photoshoots in kimono or a picnic under the beautiful blossoms. If you visit Japan in Spring, every fine weather day - even for a rainy forecast! - you will see people populating the parks having bento, drinks, and unfettered conversation. Sometimes it is hard to choose where we want to go because there are so many sites in bloom during the season. But the key is to not focus on where you go but just making a plan to go somewhere and enjoy the time together with friends! Some notable places in New York City are Roosevelt Island and Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
Some people who really want to get into the Japanese spirit of hanami (flower viewing) even wear kimono or yukata on their outing. If you want to try out that jam with Kimono House, let us know your specifics about a week before the event and we would love to help you achieve a look tailored to you.
Maybe we will see you under the blossoms somewhere!
Kimono House is conveniently located in SoHo between Houston and Prince Streets on Thompson.
