Since the suggestion of the flower viewing came from her he already suspected that a similar custom exists in her culture.

Dear Shi Qingxuan,
Thank you for your graciousness. I have no particular requirements. Would you have any, especially in terms of your diet?
Yours, Hijikata
[He's already planning to bring the food, a picnic blanket, a lantern or two... and, of course, a present for her. He found something unusual in a curious shop just the other day.]
