 Out New York</a> :\n\nDespite our apocalyptic\, Hoth-like winter\, the che
 rry  blossoms did finally turn up\, albeit a week or so late. That should 
  still put them on schedule to bloom for this year’s Sakura Matsuri. The
   annual fest is about much more than flowers\, though: The celebration of
   Japanese culture past and present includes taiko drumming\, a kimono  fa
 shion show\, samurai sword demonstrations\, folk-dancing performances\,  a
 nd sets by J-pop singer Hitomi Himekawa and eight-person Okinawan pop  ens
 emble Ryukyu Chimdon Band. Expect plenty of cosplay-clad attendees:  Even 
 if you don’t dress up\, you can take a course on manga drawing or  parta
 ke in a traditional tea ceremony. Oh\, yes\, and look at the pretty  flowe
 rs\, too.
