Cherry Blossom: Sakura

Have been busy making this Cherry blossom which is also known as Sakura. But once it was done I just didn't get the time to upload it on the blog. And today that I have time, thought I must not let go of the opportunity to wish everyone with best wishes for the new year. Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Fresh light on the Sakura







One would think of the Cherry blossom as a reflection of Japanese culture and you would wonder why Cherry blossom for Chinese New Year. 
Well, there is a connection, Sakura does naturally grow in China. And the two most famous cherry blossom parks in China reflect Japan's donation during the first half of the 20th century ( Longwangtang Cherry Blossom Park & Wuhan University).
If you happen to visit China during spring, think about attending the Cherry Blossoms Festival.
