Sakura Matsuri means Cherry Blossom Festival. It's a beautiful Japanese celebration in which flower-viewing parties are held in parks, shrines and temples to watch the cherry blossoms bloom. One doesn't have to travel to Japan to experience Sakura Matsuri, there are also several festivals held in the US and world-wide each year.
To commemorate Sakura Masturi we made a special screen-print featuring Sally & Marty wearing traditional kimonos along a cherry blossom background ^.^
