Flickr Pic #4: Shidare Zakura [しだれ桜]

Japan has a wide variety of sakura (cherry-blossoms) as many were hybridized or grafted by horticulturists centuries ago. --wikipedia

This photo was taken during the hanami (cherry blossom viewing) in early Spring with Astra peeps. Shown is the Shidarezakura or the weeping cherry, as it droops down like a weeping willow.

The popular pinkish sakuras are somewhat rare to find (at least for me) as white ones were the very common ones in the areas I have been to.

Location: Sakuragaoka-koen (park), Tokyo City
