Izu Toi Cherry Blossoms in January

Have you heard of the Izu Toi Sakura? The origins of the Izu Toi Sakura date back to around 1955, when the late Ogawa Yoshio, then Professor Emeritus at Hokkaido University, visited Toi and discovered and fell in love with this cherry tree at the clinic of Dr. Sato, who was practicing in Kogeta. The Izu Toi Sakura blooms earlier than the Kawazu Sakura, with the buds starting to open in mid-December and reaching their peak in late January. When in full bloom, the entire tree is dyed an elegant pink, captivating the hearts of all who see it. The cherry blossom is a flower that embodies the Japanese love for cherry blossoms. We hope that through this work you will feel the joy of the arrival of early spring.
