Sakura - Hoe een Engelsman de Japanse kersenbloesem redde by Naoko Abe
4.0
A very interesting read, especially if you're interested in horticulture or japanese history.
The history of the cherry tree and its many varieties are interwoven with the history of Japan , Britain, and the world in a way that puts it all in a new perspective.
I found it so fascinating how deeply the cherry tree is intrinsically connected to Japanese history. Different time periods had different effects on the proliferation and diversity of the cherry tree, depending on the cultural shifts.
