Kyoto's mountain cherries reached full bloom on April 10, 1722 — day 100 of the year. Of the 838 years on record, the 222nd earliest. From 812 to 1850 the average was April 15 (day 105.2). The 30 years to 1722 averaged day 107.5. Before modern weather records, the date comes from diaries and chronicles of flower-viewing parties at the imperial court, temples and shrines, gathered by Yasuyuki Aono.
