In a world full of constant changes,
what is the one thing you want to hold on to?
The beauty of cherry blossoms lies in their transience. After a long winter, these tiny flowers herald the coming of spring, only to fall and wilt almost as soon as they unfold.
Cherry blossoms remind us that nothing is constant in life, which is why we need to cherish the things we hold dear while we still can. This spring, we invite you to share your story. What matters to you the most? What is the one thing that you'd like to hold on to for as long as possible? Share your story with #sakuraconfessions.
Safety First
The world is facing a pandemic, and more than anything else, your safety is our number one priority. Please understand that we do not encourage participants to go outside and take photos. Our intention is simply to bring the joy of sakura to the digital space, which means you can use old photos you may have to enter the contest. They will be considered valid as long as the post dates are within the campaign period. (March 26th to April 22nd, 2020)
