TOKYO, May 13 It is the month of May. In Japan, this means it is the final turn of springtime blossoms, that last burst of colour and petals. Those fragile, brief blooms.

fuji, as wisteria is known in Japanese. These delicate flowers are late bloomers, appearing at the end of April and finishing their glorious parade in the month of May. Right before summer.
