The cherry blossom is a flower that represents Japan and has been loved by people since ancient times. Both its beautiful blooming and its fleeting scattering can be likened to the Japanese spirit.

[Sakura with Tomoe] The tomoe is said to be derived from the magatama, a comma-shaped jewel. It is also thought to represent the swirling of water, and has been used as a charm against fire and as the emblem of Hachiman, the god of war.

[Ise Katagami] This is a traditional craft that is hand-carved for dyeing patterns on kimonos. In the late 19th century, it traveled to Europe and the United States, where it greatly influenced art movements such as Art Nouveau in France, Arts & Crafts in England, and Jugendstil in Germany.
