  our apocalyptic\, Hoth-like winter\, the cherry  blossoms did finally tur
 n up\, albeit a week or so late. That should  still put them on schedule t
 o bloom for this year&rsquo\;s Sakura Matsuri. The  annual fest is about m
 uch more than flowers\, though: The celebration of  Japanese culture past 
 and present includes taiko drumming\, a kimono  fashion show\, samurai swo
 rd demonstrations\, folk-dancing performances\,  and sets by J-pop singer 
 Hitomi Himekawa and eight-person Okinawan pop  ensemble Ryukyu Chimdon Ban
 d. Expect plenty of cosplay-clad attendees:  Even if you don&rsquo\;t dres
 s up\, you can take a course on manga drawing or  partake in a traditional
  tea ceremony. Oh\, yes\, and look at the pretty  flowers\, too.
