Sakura in Heian Shrine

Sakura in Heian Shrine by Oyvind Solstad.
The Japanese sign for “Sakura” (meaning cherry blossoms) looks like this:

桜

It shows a woman (the sign to the lover right), wearing a hair ornament next to a tree.

Go to Japan in April. Visit cities like Kyoto, Nara and Himeji. You’ll see beautiful trees with white and pink flowers.
