Marvel: Get a clue about Japan!

Everything's Coming Up SakuraWolverine at temple

It's always spring in Marvel Japan -- in particular, the one week or so around the beginning of April when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Strange, though, you never see any drunk office workers sitting under the trees doing karaoke.

One other point about this shot, from Wolverine 150 (May 2000; Writer/artist: Steve Skroce): Wolvie is addressing a recurring character named "Kenuichio". "Kenichiro" would be a common Japanese men's name; somebody screwed it up before the character made it to the page.
