Japan

sakura

Japan is gaslighting me. This is the same picture right?!?!?!?!?

I’ve stared at it for 20 minutes.

Here is the whole brochure. I did the zoomed in version of the 2 photos so you all could have fun playing spot the difference but the people have spoken!  “Okesa” and “Tsukubane” Sakura are definitely the same photo and this is probably a misprint. I am not crazy.

I saw it on the Hirano Shrine page  it seems the "Okesa" is actually the one shown in the attached photo.
They must have been mistaken because they look so similar.
It looks like the flowers fully bloom into what’s shown on the URL page.
In any case, We always struggle to tell apart pink blossoms like cherry, peach, and plum every year😅 😂

I’m really good at plum now!!!! I got to see so many this trip because they were late too so I feel I’ve leveled up!

I found that these two types are actually very similar.

Ante el interés por la floración anual de los cerezos, en 1951 la agencia meteorológica japonesa empezó a publicar pronósticos oficiales del llamado sakura zensen estudiando y pesando capullos de cerezos.

Simply a woman who loves nature and photography (no pro here!).

Thank you! I know the Tsukubane now! They are “friendship” blossoms because they bloom in a pair!

Silly brochure making me feel crazy.

I think so too! But I felt really dumb looking at this for like 20 minutes.

You're not!
They're the same flower. I just think the the Tsukubane is inside a smaller circle than the other

That's so interesting that you shared this! It really does seem like a printing mistake, and you're absolutely right—the photos are identical. Thanks for pointing this out!
