The Brooklyn Botanic Gardenbecame Japanese for the day on Saturday, April 28, when the cherry blossoms shouldhave been in bloom. Even thoughthe trees had shed their pink finery, the day celebrated Japanese culture andtradition in style as “Sakura Matsuri” was unfurled.
From traditional taikodrumming and martial arts, funky pop bands, hanagasa odori, a flower hat danceprocession, Uncle Yo’s stand up comedy, bonsai and ikebana flower arranging anddoll displays, the day was stuffed with creative and colorful events. The beauty and tranquility of theJapanese Hill-and-Pond Garden, with its koi fish, ducks and turtles, was especiallylovely.
Many visitors took advantageof the day by dressing in traditional Japanese kimonos or as Tokyo goth gals,Victorian maidens with parasols, furry animals and super ninja heroes makingKodak moments momentous.
Thanks to T & A Tours ofBranford for arranging this special day that ended at the delightful shops andboutiques and eateries at Chelsea Market for more fun, fashion and food.
