The sakura only bloom during a very ephemeral period of time. Early spring is unpredictable. Since I came to Japan, I have been able to enjoy its beautiful flowers under the sun perhaps only once or twice.

But this year, 2020, something magical happened. A snow blizzard, atypical in these dates in Tokyo, occured. It’s unexpected explosion of wind and snow created an incredibly unique visual show. Perhaps, of a lifetime.
