This year’s edition features close to 40 varieties of cherry blossoms and highlights traditional sake-brewing processes associated with Ishikawa Prefecture. Adding a playful touch to the display are Sanrio characters, including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pompompurin, Cinnamoroll and Kuromi, placed among the blossoms.
Anime fans can also look forward to the Anime Garden at the Supertree Grove and Flower Dome on Mar 21 and 22. The event will feature appearances by cosplayers Thames Malerose and Munoko, as well as performances by local and regional artists, including Japanese singers Yanaginagi and Eir Aoi, who will perform anime songs and J-pop hits at the event venue. A marketplace offering merchandise, collectibles, as well as food and drinks will also be held during the weekend event.
