- Negai no Sakura (Cherry Blossoms full of wishes) -

The stunning woodblock print 'Negai no Sakura' (Cherry Blossoms Full of Wishes) is by Kazuyuki Ohtsu. Mr. Ohtsu shared an interesting story about this artwork, which beautifully recounts a romantic tale. The location depicted—Fukushima Prefecture, where the cherry blossoms stand—was featured as a meeting place for couples in the Japanese movie 'First Love'. After meeting there, couples would wish for happiness together, making this cherry tree a popular spot for lovers. Mr. Ohtsu aimed to capture the warm, romantic atmosphere surrounding this tree. The print vividly portrays spring flowers with remarkable precision, and the mica detailing on the water adds a lovely touch.
