This year is the 10th time the event is taking place, and will run through Sunday.
One design, measuring 30 meters long and 7.5 meters wide – the largest ever made for the event – can be seen in Chuo Ward, Sapporo. The creation, made using 65,000 carnations, roses and other flowers, depicts the Japanese flag, cranes and chrysanthemums in the center.
