Here in Japan, the cherries blossomed two weeks late this year,
but always, they are a spectacle worth waiting for.
Blooming all at once, they just as suddenly scatter their petals,
touching our hearts with their fleeting beauty.
For video, which is about movement, it is the prime moment of the season.
Cherry blossoms are beautiful because they scatter.
Stepping into this time tunnel of dancing flowers,
I pray that you feel the ephemeral beauty born of the cycle of life.
The scattering blossoms remind us of the values essential to Japanese traditional culture,
today fast being lost.
