"The incredible—and improbable—story of how an English eccentric saved Japan’s beloved cherry blossoms from extinction...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.." -Amazon.com
