April 2, 2000. "Cherry blossom Festival" in the Kawanoe Shiroyama Park. Iyomishima, Ehime Prefecture. "Cherry blossom Festival" was held in the Kawanaoe Shiroyama Park. Many people came to see cherry blossoms though the flowers were not in full bloom. It was a gala occasion with children's sumo, taking pictures with a model, an outdoor tea ceremony and sketching of elementary students.

	I enjoyed ritualized tea of an outdoor tea ceremony service.		People are taking pictures behind the group who are having an o-hanami (watching flowers) party.
