| Artist’s comments | One of the first and foremost images of Japan is the cherry blossoms, or “Sakura” to say in Japanese. This tree, with the feeling of spring, gives hope for new beginnings and at the same time is a symbol of the transient life with its blooms for 1 week only. I also added the birds to make the Picture more comely. |
