The picture displayed with this article represents a map of 桜前線 “the Sakura front”. These lines show the dates on which 桜 “the japanese cherry trees” are expected to bloom for a given region. du Japon. I took this picture on a サービスエリア “service area”. The explanation next to the map says that a cherry tree has been planted every 30 kilometers on 高速道路 “the highways” du pays. Next time, I will have to check if there is a cherry tree at the second stop of 高速バス “the highway bus” going from Hachinohe to Sendai. “bus autoroutier”.
According to this map, the cherry trees in 仙台 “Sendai” should bloom around the 10th of april. However if the cold weather continues, it will be later. Right now, there is a very strong wind and it is colder than Stockholm !
