Shooting location: Ipponzakura at Koiwai Farm, Iwate Prefecture
The single cherry tree in the vast meadow has an overwhelming presence.
This area is in full bloom in early May, but there is still snow on Mt. Iwate that towers in the back, and the contrast between the green grass and the cherry blossoms, the snow and the blue sky, is truly superb.
