1352 – Cherry Blossoms
Aside from their glaringly obvious beauty, the cherry blossom or sakura has deep significance as a symbol of the cycle of life, death and rebirth, on the one hand, and of productive and reproductive powers, on the other, throughout the history of Japan. In a more general way, they also convey romance and give pleasure to the mind and senses. They have long been associated with such properties as harmony of form or color and the excellence of artistry. What, then, could better impart wishes of joy and happiness, toward anyone, for any occasion, than this startlingly beautiful two-tiered work of art? Palest pink serves, to perfection, as the backdrop to this dramatic design that is demurely accented by strands of tiniest white pearls around the base of each tier. A plethora of realistic, hand-tinted "Cherry Blossoms" springs to life from hand-drawn branches. On the bottom tier, the branches reach upward, and on the upper tier, they cascade down. A thick clutch of the blossoms also crowns the very top. This work will distinguish itself as the centerpiece for any affair, from the simplest, to the most formal.
