""You can very much see that he planned to continue," said Tuna Acisu, a data scientist at Our World in Data, reflecting on Aono's dedication to the cherry blossom records."
""He is consulting the same sources as Prof Aono to get us this year's cherry blossom peak bloom and said he will confirm the date in the coming days," Acisu stated about the new researcher."
""The data has become a marker for climate change, as the blooms come earlier and earlier," highlighting the significance of the cherry blossom records."
For 1,200 years, cherry blossom bloom dates in Kyoto have been meticulously recorded. Yasuyuki Aono, the latest record keeper, recently passed away, raising concerns about the future of this tradition. Tuna Acisu, a data scientist, initiated a search for a successor. A new researcher has emerged, willing to continue Aono's work by making formal observations of the mountain cherry's spring blooms. This dataset is crucial for understanding climate change, as blooming dates have shifted earlier over time.
