Cherry blossoms are short lived. Blossoms in Tokyo have passed the mankai (full bloom) stage and are waning. The petals on the Shakuji gawa signal the end of the sakura, which is followed by the azalea season.

The green leaves emerging through the blossoms - past their peak by Japanese standards, but this is the stage I like best |
