Double cherry blossoms bloom later than ordinary cherry blossoms. Currently, they are blooming in many places in NYC.
Last night, I went to the Chanoyu class at the Urasenke Chanoyu Center on the Upper East Side in NYC and noticed that the cherry blossoms in front of the building were in fully blooming. This building was a carriage house and was once Mark Rothko's studio.
Usually, I walk quickly from the 68th Street subway station to the building to ensure I'm not late for class. After changing into a kimono, I prepared for the class However, yesterday I decided to capture one of my favorite views from across the street: the brick facade building through the double cherry blossoms. Once these flowers fall, it will be early summer. I wanted to share this beautiful moment with you.
