Cherry Blossoms at Arashiyama, Kyoto
Pictures by Utagawa Hiroshige
Utagawa Hiroshige's raftsmen pole their timber down the blue Oi River, beneath hills white with cherry blossom, with an old map of Kyoto inside. Arashiyama, on the city's western edge, has drawn visitors in spring for centuries to see these trees in bloom. For someone who loves Japan, travel or a quiet spring scene.
