It’s only May but I already miss the cherry blossoms that bloomed so spectacularly in Tenri just a few weeks ago. I tried to come up with an excuse to post pictures of them even though they are no longer newsworthy anymore. So I came up with this idea of an “Identify that Cherry Blossom” Contest.

Correctly identify the location of the cherry blossoms — by multiple choice, to give people who have never even set foot in Tenri a fair shot — in the ten pictures below and you might win a prize! Winners (and there will be three) will receive a copy of the Ofudesaki (English, Japanese, and Romanization) and a “surprise”!

Simply send an e-mail with your name/alias, country/region, and answers to roy@tenrikyology.com. Please put “Cherry Blossom ID Contest” in the subject heading. Your e-mail should look like this:
