Sakura

Spring is here and the flowering of cherry blossoms has already begun in southern Japan! For the occasion, Toya Watanabe has released sakura trees at her store in Kodama no Ki. They come in four sizes (mostly sold separately), and you can choose between having a tree with falling a petals effect that you can turn on or off with a click, or one that turns the effect on and animates you when you sit on it. I could have a look at them and I can tell you that the big tree that animates you is really sweet to see! Oh, by the way. If you want to see what the medium-sized tree looks like, walk a few steps north of Toya's shop. It'll be blooming there until the end of April!
