The inspiration for this desktop background originally came from an e-mail from Japan describing the anticipation of the Japanese spring holiday Hanami. This, I learned, is when Japan turns into clouds of cherry blossom (or Sakura).

During this period, there are weather reports on the advance of the sakura zensen, 'the cherry blossom front'. As the trees begin to bloom, people gather beneath them to celebrate.

Later on in the process, this desktop picture with clouds of cherry blossom in an orchard gathered inspiration from early summer's days in Sweden.

'Cherry Blossom' wallpaper has a dual monitor version and is available for both widescreen and fullscreen monitors as well as the iPhone and iPod Touch.
