Cherry blossom is called a "sakura" in Japanese which symbolizes the nation.Japanese spring March through early April a town and the village become full of the pink of the cherry blossoms. It soooo beautiful.
I just bought a gorgeous English book called "Cherry Blossoms of Kyoto". The book features 48 superlative cherry blossom viewing locations in Kyoto.
The ancient city of Kyoto was the imperial seat for over a thousand years(~end of the 8 century), Kyoto develop a rich culture of courtly origins.
I was deeply fascinated by this book, the cherry blossoms and temples , shrines are just gorgeous. I don't know any other word to describe it. I need to read as many as English book*) to learn more words. By the way thank you for reading my blog which I think some times hard to understand because of my odd English.
It nearly took 2 hours to finish one blog:)

We went to Kyoto (& Tokyo & Hiroshima) in April 2007. It was beautiful. The cherry blossoms are to die for. This is when I fell in love with Japan. I hope for it to become a yearly holiday destination for me and my family in the not too distant future...
