description: This book takes on a journey in photographs to the beautiful Sakura-cherry blossoms of the famous Heian Shrine in Kyoto, Japan. The 77 truly magnificent full-colour, full-spread, photographs show us all the cherry blossoms of the East Garden (Higashi Shin-en), the Middle Garden (Naka Shin-en), the West Garden (Nishi Shin-en), and the South Garden (Minami Shin-en): the Someiyoshino (the pure white Sakura flowers), the Benishidare (dropping cherry tree), and the Yaebenishidare (double-blossom dropping cherry tree), both with thick pink flowers on branches that bend over. These cherry blossoms gift us their beauty selflessly as pure enjoyment for everlasting memories, and these photographs captured their essence and invite us to sit still for a moment and reflect upon the beauty that is presented by the nature surrounding us. This book will be a joy for readers who have visited the Heian Shrine in Kyoto before, readers who have not been there yet, and readers who are generally interested in the Japanese Sakura-cherry-blossom flowers. The author Ryofu Pussel is a long-time resident of Japan and author of several other books, available through XLibris.
