[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Ueno Park is most famous for its cherry blossoms.

extract form a broshure:
Ueno koen (park) also has direct historical links between both the Tokugawa and Meiji eras; from feudal Edo to modern Tokyo. Toshogu-kyu stands as a memorial to the first Shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and, in an accident of history, as a reminder that Ueno was the scene, in 1867, of a final stand by Tokugawa loyalists, the Shogotai, against the restoration of Imperial rule. Saigo Takamori, the general who led Imperial troops against the Shogotai is also memorialized, with some irony, in statue form; in 1878, it was Saigo who would lead an unsuccessful insurrection, the Satsuma Rebellion, in opposition to the Imperial government's rush toward Westernization and the demotion of Samurai to a lower social status.

Hi Achim,

I experienced once when visiting Japan few years ago with this lovely Sakura flower . . Interesting to see the activities during this period and so crowded . . In the night is more impressive . . Well composed and great POV.

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Whorls I’

Yes the cherry blossems were the first thing I noticed Achim.
Nicely detailed and crowded as I'm sure the parcs there will be a lot of the time.
