Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Photographing sakura

Sun, March 23, 2014, by Muza-chan
Part of the charm of cherry blossoms is their very short lifespan... In the old times, the sakura trees and their flowers were glorified in paintings and poems, the artists trying to capture that transient moment of beauty...

Maybe today we try the same thing: with a camera or at least with a phone, everyone seeing a blooming sakura tree tries to take at least a snapshot, to immortalize the feeling of being close to such natural beauty...
