Japan's First Post-Quake Cherry Blossom Festival

Sakura at Kitanomaru Park, Tokyo. Taken on April 10, 2011Just came back from a last-minute trip to Tokyo. I was there to take pictures of the city's cherry blossom festival, and hopefully to organize a fund-raising photo exhibition when I get back to Hong Kong.
Cherry blossom, or "Sakura" in Japanese, signals the arrival of spring, and a new start for Japan as the country struggles to recover from its worst earthquake in history and a Chernobyl-equivalent nuclear crisis. Through the pictures, I want to offer my condolences to those who were killed in the disaster, and most importantly, to support people who survived from the temblor to carry on their lives.

The first photo appearance will be at the "Japan Earthquake: What Can We Do to Help?" discussion forum at the Univesity of Hong Kong on April 18 (Monday), 5:30pm at the Global Lounge.
A bit tied up sorting pictures and pitching around for exhibitions. Will upload more photos and details of the shows later. if you want to help me organizing them/happened to know any places that may fit for a charity event, please let me know!
