It is Tokyo in 1939. On the Street of a Thousand Blossoms, two orphaned brothers dream of a future firmly rooted in tradition. The older boy, Hiroshi, shows early signs of promise at the national obsession of sumo wrestling, while Kenji is fascinated by the art of Noh theater masks.

"The Street of a Thousand Blossoms" is a powerfully moving masterpiece about tradition and change, loss and renewal, and love and family from a glorious storyteller at the height of her powers.

Differences in culture does not change the human heart. The author gave us a look at the lives of a Japanese family before during and after WWII. We are all human beings with the same needs, desires and abilities to love and share love. This family shared their love and respect for one another through a difficult time. Great look at the Japanese culture! Wonderful book!
