Abstract

From bud to full bloom to falling petals, cherry blossoms show a different face at every stage.
Since ancient times, Japanese people have spent rich hours with cherry blossoms: gazing at them with deep feeling, writing about the shifting emotions they stir, or chatting together over a meal.
Tracing memories of the distant past, this book follows a journey with cherry blossoms that continues to the present day.
The book’s design features “Asazakura” (Morning Cherry Blossoms), a Haibara chiyogami (decorative Japanese paper) pattern from the Haibara Shugyoku Bunko collection.
