For a select few clients, Fujizakura Works will preserve a single fallen cherry blossom petal in a suspension of glacial melt and crystalline resin. The catch: you cannot buy this. You must find a fallen petal on the northern shore of Lake Kawaguchiko during the one hour of Hikari-no-sakura (Light Cherry) at dawn on April 8th. Bring it to the workshop's hidden door. If they are open, they will accept. Visitors are rare
