Spring Flower Viewing (Hanami)

The days are becoming warmer and sunsets later - spring time is almost here, and that means that so is the hanami season!
Every year, Kimono House helps prepare people of all ages for the flower viewing (hanami) season. If you walk around parks in Japan during the hanami season, you can find people enjoying the blossoms from underneath and around the trees at all times of day with bento lunches and drinks (even beer and sake). It's a great example of enjoying life's fleeting moments of beauty. You can never be sure when the next rain will fall and wash away the blossoms in full bloom - so don't wait, plan your cherry blossom viewing now!

In NYC, the blossoms generally start blooming at the end of March, peaking at mid April, and the last of the blossoms tapering off in May. This year has been warmer than usual, so everything may happen a little sooner than previous years. The Central Park Conservancy also debuted their cherry blossom tracker this year, so it will make it easier for us to determine when to go!

You can follow along with us as we check the state of the blossoms on these sites:
Central Park Cherry Blossom Tracker
Brooklyn Botanic Garden cherries
Branch Brook Park events
 


We have many new items with the Cherry Blossom design, as well others for the spring time. If you plan on attending any festivals in the spring we suggest to start preparing now. Be one of the first to take a look at our new yukata, cotton kimono, designs for 2023.

Vintage kimonos are very special and can be worn for a number of occasions, including the Cherry Blossom Festival. When you come to our shop we can help you coordinate a complete outfit for your outing.

With many Cherry Blossom Festivals happening throughout the spring, it's more opportunities to wear kimono. Remember that we carry kimonos for everyone and every size. Stop by or make an appointment to take a look!
