Japan’s Quiet Beauty_Sakura

Hello World !!!

How are you doing?

Today I am going to introduce you to one of Japan’s famous flowers.

“SA KU RA”

This means “ Cherry blossoms”.

Have you ever heard of it ?

Meanings of Sakura

For Japanese people, “sakura” has lots of important meanings.

It means the starting of spring , beginning of the new school year , and beginning of the new company year.

Also , old Japanese people learned the way of life and death from “sakura”.

Because Cherry blossoms in full bloom are very beautiful , it has the power to uplift people but only for a short while.

Isn’t that interesting ?

Sakura in Japanese Traditional Art

In traditional Japanese art,

too, cherry blossoms have been drawn as a symbol of spring flowers.

I drew such sumi-e cherry blossoms based on the shape of Tokyo Tower, a symbol of Tokyo , I used the same technique in this video.

In case of colored sumi-e we mix sumi & pigment.

Sakura Viewing Season and Spots

Generally, cherry blossoms will be in full bloom at the beginning of April each year in Tokyo.

If you like to travel in Japan, I recommend that you visit that season.

There are many cherry blossom viewing spots in Tokyo.

My recommendation is to watch cherry blossoms from a boat cruise.

My favorite is from Nihonbashi.  It is so nice !!!
