You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Sakura Square''' (((lang-ja|サクラ・スクエア)), ''Sakura Sukuea'') is a small [[Urban square|plaza]] located on the north/east side of the intersection of 19th Street and Larimer Street in [[Denver, Colorado]]. The square contains [[Bust (sculpture)|busts]] of [[Ralph L. Carr]], Governor of Colorado from 1939 to 1943, [[Minoru Yasui]], a Japanese-American lawyer, and Yoshitaka Tamai (1900–1983), a [[Bhikkhu|Buddhist priest]] who lived in Denver. Sakura Square also has a small [[Japanese garden]], and it serves as the entrance to the 20-story Tamai Tower apartment building that occupies most of the block. There are several shops and restaurants in the ground and first floors of the apartment building.

==Bust of Governor Carr==
[[Image:Ralph Lawrence Carr bust Denver.jpg|thumb|Bust of [[Ralph L. Carr]] in Sakura Square]]
Denver's Japanese-American community installed the bust of former [[Governor of Colorado|Colorado Governor]] [[Ralph Lawrence Carr]] as a tribute to his support of [[Japanese Americans]] during the [[Japanese American internment|period of their internment]]. At the time, Governor Carr was the only elected official in the United States to publicly apologize to the Japanese Americans for their internment.

==The Annual Cherry Blossom Festival==
Denver's annual Cherry Blossom Festival takes place in late June in and around Sakura Square and the Tri-State/Denver Buddhist Temple.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.tsdbt.org/cherryblossom |title=Cherry Blossom Festival |publisher=Tri-State/Denver Buddhist Temple |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20060615041305/http://www.tsdbt.org/cherryblossom |archive-date=2006-06-15 ))</ref> During the celebration, many traditional Japanese practices are celebrated, such as the [[Japanese tea ceremony]] and ''[[ikebana]]'' (flower arrangement). During the festival, many food stands offering Japanese cuisine line the street, along with various vendor booths, community information tables, and a live music stage. In the evening, a traditional ''[[Bon Festival|bon odori]]'' dance is held on the street, with many participants dressing in ''[[yukata]]'' or other traditional Japanese attire.
