    I <3 Sakura. So far I think they're my favorite thing about being in Japan. They're EVERYWHERE, and they're absolutely GORGEOUS! I keep wanting to post a million pictures of them.
    And I loved that book by Gail Tsukiyama. I love her! I hope you'll enjoy it.

    Great post! The laptop skin was awesome. And the manga scene. Yep, I've watched anime and when there would be a romantic scene, almost always there are cherry blossoms. I just love the falling effect. :)

    Nice collection you've gathered, Velvet! I wish that sakura laptop skin was pink tho... ;)

    I saw the movie Hanami when it was in the theatres. It was nice, but not spectacular.

    And Tsukiyama's The Street of a Thousand Blossoms has been on my bookshelf for ages... With a few others of her books. But right now I'm reading David Mitchell's new novel The Thousand Autumns of Jacob the Zoet!
