Hanami Holiday in Japan

Mr. Sakamoto, the president of a large Japanese corporation, has been intently drawing squares and triangles on the back of fresh marketing research for the past four hours. No visitors, no phone calls. Finally, he asks to invite Yobo, the logistics department manager, to his place. A young guy enters. Mr. Sakamoto stands up and utters a phrase that is a great honor for any employee of the corporation to hear. "Why don't we go drink sake under a cherry blossom tree tomorrow?"What is it?" he asks Yobo. Hanami, the cherry blossom festival, is a short moment of melancholic Japanese happiness that corporations from Nagasaki to Sapporo give their employees every spring. Before the Second World War, Hanami celebrated with his family, now Japanese clerks prefer to think about the eternal among colleagues. TV announcers are broadcasting the latest news: on March 20, the cherry blossom front will reach Nagasaki, on April 1 - Tokyo, on April 5 - Kyoto, on April 27 - Aomori, and on May 20 - Nemuro. When Mr. Sakamoto hears that the pink buds on the branches of the Tokyo sakura have blossomed by 70 percent, he calls the most promising subordinates to him and gives an order. And ono and several other young men run out of the corporation building to find a good place for a corporate picnic in honor of the cherry blossom festival. It's not easy to do this in Tokyo. Sometimes it takes several days to find a beautiful cherry tree somewhere on the outskirts of a megalopolis, under which plastic mats could be laid out. The target is the northwestern part of the gardens of the Koke Imperial Palace, where many flowers and more than a thousand of the most beautiful varieties of cherry trees grow. But they're all already occupied. So, we need to run further to Ueno Park, where pandas live, to the Yasukuni Shrine, built in memory of the victims of World War II, to the Shinjuku gieen National Garden, to the banks of the Sumida River. The last hope is the Aoyama Boti Cemetery, where cherry trees guard the peace of Japan's most famous people. Scouts from other corporations, concerns, and firms have already spread their mats under every tree there.

Sakamoto's subordinates still find one free tree. Yobo shakes out a pack of crumpled yen, a dilapidated notebook, bank cards, a passport with an embossed gold chrysanthemum on the cover, and a mobile phone. He calls Sakamoto and reports that the location has been found. Then he sits down on the mat, leans against the trunk of a sakura tree and closes his eyes. The rest of the corporation's employees won't be here until the following evening. There is time to think about the fact that life is beautiful and short. and the next day, around seven o'clock in the evening, Mr. Sakamoto and all his employees, men and women, leave their jobs and go to the cemetery - to sakura, found by Yobo. They drink beer and sake, snack on sushi or fried chicken on skewers. "Khans," they say to each other. - Enjoy the colors. Tomorrow the wind will blow, and the delicate petals will fly from the branches like spring snow. Short-lived flowers that do not smell and do not bear edible fruits are a symbol of beautiful transience. Clerks from all over Tokyo, each under their own sakura tree, have mixed feelings: sadness and hope. Sakura is about to drop her pink petals - and it's sad. But next spring she will bloom again, and they will gather under her branches again, God willing, they will not be fired. Cherry petals are falling in sake. That's a good sign. Mr. Sakamoto, as befits a president, is one of the first to leave. Towards nightfall, the others disperse as well - tomorrow prepares a lot of new things. After the cherry blossoms fade, a new financial and academic year begins. It is on April 1 that the trade unions are discussing a salary increase: These negotiations are called the "Spring Offensive". Students are starting their studies. If they successfully pass the entrance exams to the prestigious University of Tokyo, they send home a telegram: "The cherry trees have bloomed." And if not: "The cherry blossom has wilted." The fallen flowers of some cherry varieties remain lying on the ground for many months. If they are thrown into boiling water, you will get a very tasty tea, which is drunk by the parents of the future spouses on their wedding day. Thus, it is the fallen flowers, full of the bitterness of the earth, that symbolize the birth of a new love in Japan. Watch USA online porn https://mat6tube.com teens, milfs, matures!
