All over the country, cherry blossom trees planted by everyone from the emperor to a rural schoolteacher develop their buds in springtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Sakura Moon\" was taken during my two week trip to Japan with my son. At this particular spot, we had been hiking along the Kumano Kodo trail, and were waiting for a bus. There was an absolutely gorgeous sakura tree along the river, and my son dozed off underneath it. He didn't notice that I was wandering around under the tree with my neck craned up, trying to find a way to frame the day time moon among the flowers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI promised him that when he turned 16, we could take a trip anywhere he wanted, just me and him. He picked Japan, and our planning led us to the country during the height of cherry blossom season. We lucked out as we moved from Osaka to Fuji and up to Tokyo, the peaking flowers seemed to follow us the entire way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe blooms spring forth from their buds for a very short period, sometimes just days, before fluttering to the earth. Being in the right place at the right time during Sakura season involves planning, and a little bit of luck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jeff Pfaller Photography","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47403752161506,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/6569\/5202\/files\/sakura-moon-1750-24-x-18-framed-9063496.jpg?v=1754750936","url":"https:\/\/jeffpfaller.com\/products\/sakura-moon-18-50-36-x-36-canvas","provider":"Jeff Pfaller Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
