Cherry Blossom (Hanami) season signals the arrival of Spring in Japan.



In bloom for only a short period of time, Japan celebrates as the colour spreads from the south travelling north.



Here is my photo journal taken during Spring 2008 visiting Osaka, Miyajima, Hiroshima, Himeji, Kyoto, Tokyo, Hakone, Takayama and Kanazawa.



Japan, a harmony of ancient

and modern culture.
