Kimono Mom

There has never been a spring in our lives without cherry blossoms.🌸 This year, we thought we had to let go of that tradition… until we arrived in Washington DC, just in time to see these breathtaking sakura in full bloom.

These blossoms, a symbol of friendship between Japan and the US, moved us to tears. No matter where we are in the world, sakura remind us of home, of connection, and of the fleeting yet beautiful moments in life.

This spring, we celebrate not just the beauty of nature, but also the bonds that tie us together across oceans.🌎🌸

In Berlin cherry blossoms are a symbol of unity, because the trees were planted alongside a former strip of the Berlin Wall after it came down in 1990. The trees are a donation by the Japanese people, the money was collected via a TV show. Once a place of terror it's now one of the most magical places you can visit in Berlin in spring 🌸🌸

I'm so glad you got to keep your tradition of seeing Sakura blossoms in the spring! 🌸 So lucky that you are in Washington D.C. right now! 🏛 Love from New England! 🩷🌸🩷🌸 Oh, something else I want to add, in my front yard, right outside my window, I have a cherry blossom tree that gives beautiful soft pink blossoms every year! Seeing it look so beautiful always just makes my wish to go to Japan someday g
