This is a short children's book that entails the legend behind the existence of the cherry blossom and the hard choices made by an old fisherman and his catch. This fantastic tale was spun by the imaginative mind of Andrew Marcinkowska to teach one of the basic principles of life from a combination of the Eastern Buddhist perspective and Western Theology as it covers the passing of life and the beauty of recreation, or simply said as the cycle of life. The Illustrations are pulled from the influence of ancient Japanese and Chinese artistic styles combined with the vibrant colors and vivid imagination of that of a child, and careful to give due credit to each. A fantastic read for those who like a tale that emphasizes wisdom and acceptance as a ultimate value for everyone to have, and a value that every child should know.:: From The Author:: A short children's picture book of a magical origin story for cherry blossoms told from an Eastern perspective. The story was first a hand written love letter to the author's then fiance, living in Taiwan. It is all very Zen.

Each year, the flowering of cherry blossoms marks the beginning of spring. But if it weren’t for the pioneering work of an English eccentric, Collingwood “Cherry” Ingram, Japan’s beloved cherry blossoms could have gone extinct. Ingram first fell in love with the sakura, or cherry tree, when he visited Japan on his honeymoon in 1907 and was so taken with the plant that he brought back hundreds of cuttings with him to England. Years later, upon learning that the Great White Cherry had virtually disappeared from Japan, he buried a living cutting from his own collection in a potato and repatriated it via the Trans-Siberian Express. In the years that followed, Ingram sent more than 100 varieties of cherry tree to new homes around the globe. As much a history of the cherry blossom in Japan as it is the story of one remarkable man, The Sakura Obsession follows the flower from its significance as a symbol of the imperial court, through the dark days of the Second World War, and up to the present-day worldwide fascination with this iconic blossom.

Ripe, sensuous, irresistible: the cherry tree and its stunning blossoms conjure up many literal, metaphorical, and visceral sensations. We enjoy cherry picking, a cherry on top, and even, on occasion, losing one’s cherry. Cherries have been consumed since prehistoric times, reaching great popularity among the ancient Romans. They have come to symbolize such divergent concepts as fertility, innocence, and seductiveness, inspiring Dutch still-life paintings, Freudian theory, contemporary pop artists, and one of the first food emojis. In Japan and other Asian cultures, the short-lived but beautiful cherry blossoms are important elements throughout art and literature. In this intriguing natural and cultural history, Constance L. Kirker and Mary Newman recount the origins, legends, celebrations, production, and health benefits of this beloved tree.
