This cherry tree grows along the moat that surrounds Matsumoto Castle outside the huge
stone wall that you can see in the background.  I had always heard about the reverence that
the Japanese have for cherry blossoms, but never understood it until I spent a couple of
weeks in Japan in April.  The trees are cherished and loved, and respond with a magnificent
display each spring.  I like the contrast between the softness of the blossoms and the hard
surface of the stone wall.

As most people seem to
prefer them, prices are for
framed prints, ready to
hang.  I use a very nice
matt black wood frame 7/8
of an inch wide, with a
white mat.  If you would
like to order unframed
prints, go to the
"Purchase" page for
pricing.
