brooklynmuseum:One of the most iconic signs of spring in Japan, and now throughout the globe, is the arrival of cherry blossoms. This ephemeral burst of color is celebrated by picnics, garden visits, and festivals to enjoy the flowers. Here in Brooklyn, the season is celebrated at our neighboring institution, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden during their annual Sakura Matsuri festival.
