Sakura in winter

Aug 18, 2009

Sakura is the Japanese name for the flower of the cherry tree known in Western countries as cherry blossom.



In many districts of Lima where Japanese descendants live, cherry blossom can be found in the streets. Last time I was in the district of Jesus Maria and I notice its presence.



In Japan, Sakura blooms in April when spring is coming and last - at the most - for two weeks. In Lima, due to its template climate it is possible to see cherry blossom even during winter season (in August for us).
