TokyoBlossom Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) Cherry Blossoms are considered Japan's Unofficial National Flower and are the symbol I have chosen for my geocaching name. To commemorate my 500th forum post (in homage to Keewee and his 500th post contest) I am giving away my handmade clay Cherry Blossom signature items. There will be 6 questions, one at a time, and the first one will be posted in about 5 minutes. RULES - No edited posts accepted, if you need to correct a mistake then quote the incorrect message and repost. - Answers may be in English or Japanese (transliterated, kanji, hiragana, or katakana). - Guess as often as you like! Good Luck to all! Edited October 30, 2007 by TokyoBlossom Quote Link to comment
