SAKURA - Cherry Blossom Festival at Van Dusen Gardens - Saturday, April 11. 2015

The blossoms were in full bloom very early this year, but there were still lots in glorious display at the festival!




 So much to hear, to eat and to see. We devoured burgers from Wakwak Burger and Yakitori from Zakkushi. Loved Tetsu Takio, Rakuichi Shishimai (Lion Dance), Koji Yamaguchi and Hoshihiko Fueki (music from Japan) and the Yukata Dressing station.


Cos-play was very much in evidence, 
both on the stage and in the audience.  

The Kimono fabrics were dazzling




The art of flower arranging, Ikabana was beautifully 
arranged in its own gallery, for our viewing pleasure. 



Once again, Sakura in full abundance all around Vancouver and especially at the festival, a much anticipated, two day, yearly event at Van Dusen Gardens!  Put Sakura Days, Japan Fair, www.JapanFairVancouver.com in your calendar for your Japan journey, right here in your own backyard.
