Nissan’s high-performance division, NISMO, has made an unexpected but stylish pivot, unveiling a golf-themed capsule that pays homage to two iconic inspirations — the revered Masters Tournament and Japan’s celebrated cherry blossom season Introduced through a teaser post on Instagram the announcement captured attention instantly signaling that NISMO’s commitment to precision and performance is expanding beyond the racetrack Dubbed the “Sakura Golf Club,” the collection introduces a fresh interpretation of sporting luxury marrying Japanese cultural aesthetics with a nod to the global golfing elite the initial reveal hints that NISMO is aiming for much more than a one-off novelty item This could mark the beginning of an exciting new lifestyle extension for the brand Performance Meets Tradition in a Bold New Form NISMO’s entry into the golf world might seem surprising at first and a respect for both tradition and innovation NISMO’s reputation for pushing performance boundaries translates naturally into this new arena offering fans a fresh way to experience the brand outside of its high-octane roots The Sakura Golf Club collection preview features a carefully curated lineup: a golf club and a branded shirt — all unified by a distinctive pink color palette The pink hues are a clear tribute to Japan’s Sakura season where cherry blossoms transform landscapes into breathtaking vistas of soft color NISMO blends national pride with global sophistication making the collection both culturally resonant and visually striking Although no official release date or product specifications have been shared yet NISMO’s playful caption — “So inspired by the #Masters we made our own golfing gear” — offers subtle clues about the brand’s broader ambitions References to the Masters and hints that NISMO drivers might take to Augusta’s greens next year fuel speculation that this isn’t just a fun side project but potentially the start of a larger lifestyle expansion Given the recent trend of automotive and sportswear collaborations gaining traction it’s not hard to imagine NISMO pushing deeper into performance-inspired apparel and accessories The automotive world has seen brands like Porsche and even Aston Martin successfully translate their racing ethos into lifestyle products — and NISMO looks poised to take a similar path Bringing Motorsport Energy to the Fairways What sets NISMO’s Sakura Golf Club concept apart from other branded golf gear is the way it carries the spirit of motorsport into a completely different arena the collection balances technical functionality with a strong design narrative ensuring it resonates with both golf enthusiasts and NISMO loyalists From the aerodynamic lines of a performance-tuned car to the streamlined form of a well-balanced driver the parallels between racing and golfing gear are surprisingly natural NISMO’s expertise in engineering for precision and speed could well make this collection more than just a stylish statement — it could offer genuinely high-performance equipment designed with the same care and craftsmanship that goes into their vehicles While fans eagerly await further information, the Sakura Golf Club collection has already generated considerable excitement. In an era where brand storytelling matters more than ever, NISMO’s move into golf represents a smart evolution. It’s not abandoning its racing roots; instead, it’s expanding them — taking the same qualities that define NISMO cars and translating them into other areas of life If the golf set is successful, it could pave the way for an even broader range of lifestyle offerings, blending athletic performance, Japanese design heritage, and the adrenaline-fueled spirit that defines NISMO. Think apparel collections, training equipment, or even full lifestyle experiences designed to let fans live the NISMO ethos on and off the track Whether or not NISMO drivers eventually find themselves teeing off at the Masters remains to be seen and culture can thrive together — even on the fairway Input your search keywords and press Enter By subscribing, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy Nissan’s performance division, NISMO, has teased an unexpected new release: a golf set inspired by the Masters and Japan’s iconic cherry blossom season. Revealed on Instagram with the caption “So inspired by the #Masters we made our own golfing gear,” the preview shows a sleek collection featuring a golf club balls and what appears to be a branded shirt paying tribute to Sakura season and marked with the playful moniker “Sakura Golf Club.” While no release date or further details have been announced at the time of writing the blend of motorsport flair and golfing tradition suggests this will be more than just a novelty drop With the caption hinting at NISMO drivers possibly entering the Masters next year fans are eagerly speculating whether this collection could expand into a full lifestyle offering Toronto's much-loved High Park cherry blossoms have embarked on their annual bloom for 2025 and eager viewers from across the city and beyond are flocking to the park to get a view After avidly tracking the progress of the blooms all spring long, with regular updates provided by the city's resident sakura expert Steven Joniak (better known as Sakura Steve) the city was finally treated to the breathtaking blooms over the weekend On Wednesday, April 30, the High Park Nature Centre predicted that full bloom, marked by 70 per cent of trees showing their blooms, would begin later that week, but by Thursday, May 1, Sakura Steve had already reported that trees would be reaching 75 per cent open later that day for scores of eager blossom-viewers to plan their Saturday and Sunday trips to the park to view the fleeting phenomenon before it was gone Throngs swarm High Park to see the annual cherry blossom bloom Gloomy cloud cover and nippy temperatures couldn't deter the crowds that descended upon High Park over the weekend of May 3 and 4 a large majority of whom had their cameras at the ready to capture the short-lived spectacle View our photo gallery of cherry blossoms in High Park. While some of the city's residents were busy pounding the pavement at the Toronto Marathon on Sunday a nearly equal number could be found in the park Prepare for an Instagram feed flooded with baby pink this week Around 3000 individual Sakura trees can be found across the 400-acre park thanks to a 1959 gift to the city from then-ambassador to Canada as a thank you to the city for its support of Japanese-Canadian refugees after the Second World War the years since haven't always been kind to the trees Several new trees have had to be planted to replace originals that have been damaged by overenthusiastic visitors over the years Signs advise best practices to keep wildlife healthy Signs in the park advise visitors to remain on formal trails refrain from disturbing wildlife or picking other plants Additionally, on his website, Sakura in High Park Sakura Steve also reminds visitors that picking or breaking off blooms sitting in trees and littering in the park can damage trees irreparably Keeping at a safe distance and admiring the trees from afar Turtles begin laying and hatching eggs this time of year The annual bloom wasn't the only miracle of life that crowds were treated to this weekend you could expect to come upon grates protecting turtle eggs and baby turtles You may still be able to see some breathtaking blooms this year Cherry blossom bloom typically lasts anywhere from four to ten days after peak bloom has begun so you may have a couple more days to take in the spectacle before it's done for the year On the bright side, there are a number of other places in the city where you can see cherry blossoms 1/21Chasing crowds and cherry blossoms during Tokyo’s ‘sakura hanami’.st1{fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;fill:#2a2a2a}By David Petkiewicz, cleveland.comTOKYO -- In Japanese “sakura” means cherry blossoms and “hanami” roughly translates to “flower viewing.” On my fourth visit to Japan - my daughter lives there - I planned the trip around the annual sakura hanami season Japan is known for its plethora of sakura that bloom across the country each spring It can be a little tricky planning the trip because the blossoms in Tokyo can arrive anywhere from the last week of March to the second week in April I started my planning last August and chose to arrive on April 1 as the blossoms started to bloom on about March 29 and were in full flower by the time I arrived There are dozens of great places to see the blossoms around Tokyo so I had to pick and choose since the city is so big My daughter Juliana acted as my guide and translator for the trip I picked the places and she got us where we needed to go via the amazing train/subway system in the city The first few days didn’t amount to much as it was cold and rainy -- but not rainy enough to wash the blossoms off the trees the storms moved out and we headed to the Meguro neighborhood to view the illuminated blossoms that line the Meguro River We were not the only ones to have that idea as thousands of people lined the path alongside the roughly half mile of lighted trees It was well worth the crowds for the view and photos Numerous bridges cross over the Meguro River and each one was packed tightly with people taking photos videos and selfies of the spectacular view The streets were also lined with food and drink trucks catering to the crowd I just wandered the streets and managed to get a few nice photos mostly of people walking with their umbrellas along the tree-lined streets and I made my way to one of the most popular spots and the crowd was already beginning to gather as everybody had been waiting for a clear day The park did not disappoint; the main path was lined with trees and people People were already staking out their picnic spots with the familiar blue tarps and picnic baskets Juliana eventually met me there and we spent a solid 2-3 hours wandering around watching the people and photographing the trees We stopped by one of the many tents and had a local beer I again ventured out on my own and made my way to Inokashira Park The park is famous for its dozens of swan boats that guests rent and paddle their way around the shoreline passing under the drooping sakura that hang down Later that same day we met up in the Roppongi Hills neighorhood and happened upon a great line of blooming trees lining the street Use of and/or registration on any portion of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement, (updated 8/1/2024) and acknowledgement of our Privacy Policy, and Your Privacy Choices and Rights (updated 1/1/2025) © 2025 Advance Local Media LLC.

Toyota has, for example, steadfastly held out largely in the hopes that its gamble on solid-state batteries will play out Nissan, on the other hand, threw its hat early into the game with the Leaf that Nissan claims the car is the world’s first mass-market EV The Leaf, which believe it or not is an acronym for “leading environmentally-friendly affordable family car,” was for a long time one of the world’s best-selling EVs. Had Nissan really capitalized on this EV leadership it might not have needed the now-canceled Honda engagement, but that’s another story but it took until 2022 to morph into a production car Japan’s government has announced plans to increase the percentage of EVs and PHEVs in passenger car sales to up to 30 percent by 2030 despite its diminutive length of 133.7 millimeters (about 11 feet) happens to be Japan’s best-selling electric car Courtesy of NissanSmall Is BeautifulA kei car is the smallest class of car legally allowed on expressways in Japan They are limited to a length of 3.4 meters the cars enjoy lower tax rates and lower insurance premiums At first glance, the Sakura seems quite similar to a number of micro EVs from China, probably best exemplified by the super-cheap Wuling Hongguang Mini EV (which WIRED has tested) Rather than giving the impression of just being a step-up from an ebike as is the case with some of the Chinese microcars With Japanese brands honing their kei car game since 1949 Kei car sales peaked at 40 percent of Japan’s total in 2013 Such is the premium on space in the Japan that kei cars have become a class of car you can buy there if you don't own a dedicated parking space All products featured on Wired are independently selected by our editors we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links Still, the Sakura is a relatively basic car, and purchasers have a basic choice between X and G. The price is basic, too: The “top-of-the-range” G version has a suggested selling price of 3,082,200 yen ($20,290), while the X is cheaper still at 2,599,300 yen—that's just $17,110, cheaper than the Dacia Sprint with upgrades to the car’s navigation and ProPILOT driver assistance system that helps with steering and braking (ProPILOT Park takes care of parallel parking) One other difference is the number of paint options available For the X there are six solid and five two-tone options but on the G the two-tone options expand out to nine and now include titanium gray as well as black for the second tone WIRED's test car came in a fetching silky lilac for the body with black for most of the window surrounds and titanium gray for the roof and front pillars Who said Japanese cars came in boring colors Spend any time with the Sakura and you soon realize it is a box of tricks Japanese producers know how to get the most out of the small footprint the Sakura's width of 1,475 mm comes in just 5 mm short of the regulatory limit But where the Sakura more than compensates for these dimensions is with its height of 1,655 mm is taller than an average Japanese woman (158 cm) While the boxlike nature of the Sakura doesn’t make for the most elegant of exteriors Although the two front seats rub up against each other they are of a full size and individually adjustable and even manage to squeeze in a shared armrest Where the car’s height really pays off is with rear seat space Although it seats only two there is more than enough headroom for even the tallest of adults—and the legroom the drive selector is pushed onto the dashboard to the right of the capacitive touch panel climate controls An electronic handbrake is controlled using the P button marked in the center of the selector The two staggered info screens are easy to use with the 9-inch infotainment screen surrounded by some real buttons with shortcuts to items including the main menu The instrument panel is a smaller 7-inch display Visually the car’s interior scores highly particularly with the G version which gets a copper trim around the lower dashboard and extending into the door inserts Perhaps not surprisingly given the price point the materials don’t hit so high when it comes to tactility the plastics on the dashboard seem flimsy around the air vents A double-layered trunk floor left me at first scratching my head as it didn’t seem to serve any purpose More investigation revealed that the rear bench could slide forward making more trunk space and the redundant layer now being used to cover the flooring With the seats fully back trunk space is just 107 liters but about enough for the family’s weekly shop Perhaps it is just a matter of getting used to the Sakura's layout but as soon as you try to drive it you start noticing problems with the ergonomics Firstly when in the driver’s seat the Start/Stop button is difficult to see due to the steering wheel It’s a similar case with the Autohold and Drive Mode selection buttons hidden well down on the right below-hand level and underneath a row mainly controlling the cruise control Then there is the indicator on the right stalk meaning I kept activating the windscreen wipers Once you are successfully in motion the car is a delight to drive thanks to its minuscule dimensions and the steering itself although on the light side makes it super easy to move in and out of traffic with at least some differentiation between all three In Eco there is greater braking regeneration along with the acceleration being tapered off the car has a reasonable turn of speed given its metrics so pulling out into flowing traffic should be fine It should be noted that Chinese micro EVs don’t even quote such times unlike those where the speed tops out at usually 62 mph the Sakura can actually reach a highway-ready top speed of 81 mph Although by modern car standards the 14-inch wheels they are still much bigger than the 12-inch ones used by the Chinese Wuling Hongguang Mini EV The ride itself is surprisingly comfortable an effect furthered by the sofa-like seats While the height helps with the headroom it does mean the center of gravity is not so low Power comes from a 63 hp (47 kW) electric motor mounted on the front axle which can deliver 195 Nm of torque There are actually two forms of braking regeneration While the braking regeneration under Eco is definitely noticeable it is nothing compared to what you get when you press the e-pedal button With this engaged you get a near one-pedal driving experience but it will not take you to a complete halt Mark AndrewsDespite having only a 20-kWh battery pack the range as measured by the WLTC cycle is 112 miles It should be noted that the Sakura will use less electricity when driven at city speeds Nissan reports that 83 percent of owners say they spend less than 5,000 yen ($33) a month charging the car Helping reduce energy consumption are features such as the LED lights and a heat pump which reduces the amount of power needed to heat the car in winter the Sakura’s battery can go from 10 to 80 percent in around 40 minutes meaning you can use the car as a power source on household appliances and similar devices In such small cars, safety is always a question mark—but, in 2022, the Sakura gained a 5-star rating in the JNCAP test, though it should be noted that this is not as stringent as the Euro NCAP rating. The car does, however, come with seven airbags, along with active evasive maneuver assistance, intelligent emergency braking, and collision warning. Sadly, so far Nissan has shown no desire to sell the car outside Japan, although a few secondhand examples have ended up in right-hand drive markets such as New Zealand. The Sakura might be Japan’s best-selling EV (indeed, strong demand led to Nissan having to pause sales in late 2022 because it had too many orders), but it has the potential to be far more than that. It is the EV that many city EV drivers have been crying out for. While it might not be as ridiculously cheap as the Chinese micro EVs (which can go as low as $5,000), it is still, comparatively, an absolute bargain—and crucially more of a “proper car” than any of its China rivals. With real safety credentials, fast charging, good handling, and enough power to even be used for the odd (slightly) longer trip on the highway, surely there's a market for the Sakura in Europe and the US? We'll have to hope Nissan comes to think the same. All products featured on Wired are independently selected by our editors.

Janssen continued: "He [also] loved the exterior and interior design and the yacht totally fit what he was looking for in terms of layout for family use Project 827 blends the East and West in a marriage of "Scandinavian warmth" and "Japanese minimalism", the yard has previously said.

the night I went the tasting menu’s pizza de resistance was half venison ragu the venison/shirasu pie was complex yet delicate I don’t think they put shirasu on pizza in Naples I struck up a conversation with the American couple sitting next to me: a pair of foodies visiting Kyoto on their honeymoon They marveled at the quality and the creativity of the meal the likes of which they had never really seen: “Can you imagine a pizza with more creative toppings than this?” Part of  The Claremont Colleges An annual celebration of the start of spring in Akron is right around the corner The Downtown Akron Sakura Festival will return April 5 along the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail which coincides with the bloom of more than 450 cherry blossom trees Visitors will have the opportunity to experience Japanese performances as well as a pre-festival bike ride that begins at 10 a.m Local vendors and food trucks will also be available to attendees To learn more, visit the Downtown Akron Partnership's website The Light the Locks event scheduled at Lock 2 has been canceled because of weather concerns Akron Bicentennial officials said Thursday The Downtown Akron Sakura Festival will take place even if it rains outdoor activities will be delayed until the storm passes Keep an eye on Facebook and other social media for updates Reporter Anthony Thompson can be reached at ajthompson@gannett.com Company expanding its Ishikari data center in Hokkaido to accommodate new hardware Japanese data center and cloud company Sakura Internet is looking to procure tens of thousands of GPUs As reported by Bloomberg the Osaka-based company is in discussions to buy some 10,000 Nvidia GPUs annually to meet growing demand “We need some 50,000 to 100,000 Nvidia GPUs to comfortably handle the demand we see today,” he said in an interview “We would need a million GPUs 10 years from now if demand rises at the current pace.” The company operates a large data center campus in Ishikari the 50,000 sqm site will be able to host 6,800 racks across five buildings The company also operates faculties in Tokyo (Higashi-Shinjuku a data center and cloud services unit founded in 2017 alongside IT firm Terilogy Holdings Bloomberg noted the company is building another data center on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido that expected to house around 10,800 Nvidia GPUs when it goes online by 2027 Sakura Internet has been providing GPU resource services since 2016 it launched a generative AI cloud service based on GPUs called High Firepower the company announced it has completed a project to install approximately 2,000 Nvidia H100 Tensor Core GPUs at its Ishikari facility and planned to deploy 8,000 more by the end of December 2027 Last month it said it would deploy an additional 800 H100s by December ahead of that tranche of 8,000 – as well as a further 40 GPUs this month To accommodate the deployment of GPUs at the site Sakura said over the summer that it would invest in two container-type data centers for the Ishikari site The first will be delivered by November 2025 Sakura also announced it would roll out its GPU cloud to Equinix’s IBX data centers in Japan and across Asia Equinix has four facilities in Osaka and 14 in Tokyo Data Centre Dynamics Ltd (DCD), 32-38 Saffron Hill, London, EC1N 8FH Email.
