Japan Cherry Blossoms Coloring Book

About this book

Color your way through Japan's spring — all sixty places real, and every one of them a cherry blossom place.

This book gathers sixty of Japan's great blossom landscapes and nothing else: the seven-kilometer cherry tunnel of Shizunai Nijukken Road; the moat of Chidorigafuchi under a ceiling of petals; the weeping cherries of Kakunodate's samurai street; the thousand-year-old Miharu Takizakura; the canal boats of Fushimi; Mount Yoshino's mountainside of thirty thousand trees; and the deep-pink January blossoms of Nago Castle in Okinawa — from Hokkaido to the southern islands.

Every place appears as a two-page spread: on one side, a full-color photo guide with a short, fascinating story — including what to look for while you color — and on the other, a detailed coloring page of the very same view. A guide at the front shows you how to print only the coloring pages at home and save your color ink.

Inside you will find: • Great blossom avenues and riverbanks — Nijukken Road, Hitome Senbonzakura, the Meguro River, Kumagaya Sakura Tsutsumi and the Yamazaki River • Castles, moats and old towns in bloom — Chidorigafuchi, Funaoka Castle Ruins, Kakunodate, the Philosopher's Path and the Keage Incline • Ancient and famous single trees — Miharu Takizakura, Isshingyo no Ozakura and the blossom shrines and temples of Kyoto and Nara • 60 full-color photo guides with the story of each place (about 80–120 words each) • None of these sixty places appeared in our previous Japan coloring books

Sixty blossom places, one spring journey — bring pencils, and take your time.
