When I originally started posting up to this gallery there were still regular Hanatouro events, so the aim was to give some highlights and hope people would visit to see the rest. Since these Hanatouro events are now ended, I’ve decided to release a few more photos from the back catalogue to this gallery, to document an event that ran for more than 10 years.

This photo was taken during the 2011 Higashiyama Hanatouro. On Kiyomizu-zaka (Matsubara-dori) out the front of Hotokuji (a small Buddhist temple) was where I captured this flower arrangement. There were always flower arrangements (Japanese “Ikebana”) a different points along the Hanatouro route.
