Sakura 2009
Originally uploaded by scion_cho

While witnessing the Kanamara Matsuri, it was also the only time I went out to take pictures of Sakura this Spring.

Sakuras bloom almost everywhere in Japan. Cherry Blossom trees are greatly adored here even though they go into fruition only for around 2 weeks.  For the Japanese, this represents life's fleeting moment.
