今年の新宿御苑の花見は、寒い天気なのに、木が好きな人が集まっていました。
These photos are from this year’s rather cold cherry blossom season, which meant easier access to some of the best spots. I love the difference in scale between the old trees and the people they attract. I also love how prepared the city is to manage the expected crowds of tree lovers.
