This is a book for you-someone who isn't a cherry blossom expert. For the kind of person who can't name the flowers, but simply knows, "It's beautiful."And for the one who always arrives a little too late for the season, yet still wants to come back again."Walking Slowly Through Kyoto, Waiting for Blossoms to Bloom" begins with a traveler who has visited Kyoto many times in spring. It doesn't dazzle with grand historical narratives or flaunt literary prowess.
Instead, it uses simple, honest words to record each encounter with Kyoto's cherry blossoms-whether breathtaking or quietly disappointing.
