Pink and white blossoms softly raining down are a bit reminiscent of weddings, so the timing seemed perfect this weekend when Satoko and I made another visit to the temple where we are planning to be married in September. Before that we had a chance to check out a chic Japanese restaurant we are considering for the reception, and caught up with Satoko's friend Lisa on her home turf: Akasaka. Desirable turf it is too, with enviable architecture both old and new. Sakura (cherry blossoms) were in full bloom; tourists here today saw Japan at its best.
For those of us who live here, it's like nature's own end-of-winter ceremony - admitting defeat after months of relentless, bitter cold. Yatta!
