More Information

Spring

No explanation is needed for the iconic view of cherry blossoms and Mt. Fuji, a scene that represents Japan. Cherry blossoms in full bloom are like an explosion of energy, releasing the vitality stored up during the cold winter. Despite their vibrant appearance, the life of a cherry blossom is fleeting, with full bloom lasting just one day each year.

Japanese of the past found beauty in the fleeting nature of cherry blossoms.

Summer
