Sakura 桜
Sakura (桜) is the name of the Japanese cherry blossom, a flower that is deeply symbolic to the people of Japan. Their delicate beauty, brief blooming period, and volatility of the blossoms is an enduring metaphor of the nature of life and mortality. Every Spring, the Japanese Meteorological Agency tracks the “cherry blossom front” as it moves north across the country and is closely followed by the public. When full bloom occurs, “hanami” viewing parties are held in parks where spectators picnic and drink under the trees. The practice is centuries-old and is said to have started in the Nara period (710-794). The most prominent variety of sakura in Japan is the Somei Yoshino, with almost-white petals accented by pale pink near the stems.
Available in two sizes. Frame not included.
