Tag: cherry blossom viewing at night
Check out this video of the Sakura Illumination Tour uploaded by Stuart Ward from hfour design.
The Sakura Illumination Tour is a mobile night time installation which will illuminate various cherry blossom sites in public parks and beaches while in full bloom. Using LED and patterned video lights, Stuart Ward of Hfour Design illuminated cherry blossom trees with his sensory projection artwork. The single night quality reflects the tempo of the blossoms, and their varying bloom times. The unique experience will create an intangible memory of a time and place never to be duplicated.
The light show will be a reminder that if you don’t stop, if you don’t pull over to see what is happening, you’ll miss it because it won’t be there tomorow. Life is brief and beauty does not last and life can pass you by if you don’t seize the moment.
The Sakura Illumination Tour will follow the peak bloom of our cherry trees and is dependent on the weather. Consult the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival page to learn where Sakura Illumination will pop up next and the VCBF Facebook page for latest updates!

I’m so glad the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival is presenting a new program called Sakura Illumination tour that will feature cherry blossom viewing at night (called yozakura in Japanese).
The Sakura Illumination Tour is a mobile night time installation which will illuminate various cherry blossom sites in public parks and beaches while in full bloom. Stuart Ward of Hfour Design will use projectors and lanterns to illuminate a few trees at a time with his sensory projection artwork. The single night quality reflects the tempo of the blossoms, and their varying bloom times.
