and we are having a party by celebrating Hanami (blossom viewing). When the turtle was installed we planted cherry trees. For Hanami we will have a cake for the turtle, write haiku about turtles and cherry blossoms on wooden tags (emas) and hang them from the trees, invite people to have picnics and organize a cherry blossom walk (hosted by local businesses). Musicians have also been invited to come and play songs.
