Description
Kakunodate in the spring. 角館 is in Akita prefecture in Japan, (famous for a series of old Japanese architcture preserved as walk-in museums). The cherry blossoms were blooming everywhere. According to the local people, cherry blossoms blooming on the mountains, by the river, and in the Samurai Village is a really rare event. One grandmother assured us it's been 20 years since that last happend, so we were really lucky to see them all at once. It's raining tomorrow though, so the delicate petals probably won't last much longer.

I love these kinds of sakura. The weeping cherry blossoms are a bit darker pink, as you can see. Quite pretty.

Thoughts?
