Unpredictable Cherry Blossoms

My Japan spring cherry blossoms workshops are crafted with over 25 years experience chasing the perfect cherry blossoms, and I always provide. I have created a 12-day Cherry Blossom Photo Workshop that is a roundtrip journey from the Pacific Ocean side of Japan through the interior of Japan’s main island, Honshu, and then back to Tokyo.  This photography cherry blossom workshop of lifetime includes, UNESCO Mt.Fuji and the Fuji five lakes, Hakone, Nagano, Niigata, and Yamanashi among other prefectures and we mainly follow ancient pilgrimage routes through hamlets that seem almost untouched since the Edo period, which include Zen Buddhist sanctuaries, Shinto Shrines and temples, plus the perfect scenes that are synonymous with Japans lovely sumi’e paintings.   The pilgrimage routes I follow  are ones that samurai, geisha, daimyos, artisans such as Katsushika Hokusai, who is best known for the woodblock print series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, which includes the iconic print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa. And my annual Japan cherry blossom photo workshop is in the top 3 throughout Japan.  And when we d find the perfect blossom, participants and I spend the necessary time to fill our memory cards with gallery quality images before going to the next location on my cross-country sakura photo workshop tour of a lifetime.
