"Cherry blossom branches, tinged with deep blue, unfold before a round, golden moon. It is the night of hanami - the contemplation of flowers - in all its poetic serenity."

Context of the work

This print is the work of Ohara Koson (1877-1945), one of the masters of the shin-hanga movement, the revival of Japanese woodblock printing in the early 20th century. Koson is famous for his delicate representations of animals and flowers, combining the tradition of ukiyo-e masters with a more modern and refined sensibility.

The blue palette of this composition evokes both the Japanese night and the influence of Prussian blues introduced through trade with Europe. Cherry blossoms (sakura) are the central symbol of Japanese culture: ephemeral beauty, the passage of time, celebration of the present moment.

Why is sakura so important in Japanese art, such as this Koson print?

Cherry blossoms (sakura) symbolize ephemeral beauty and the passage of time in Japanese culture. This print by Ohara Koson (1877-1945), master of shin-hanga, celebrates hanami - the contemplation of flowers - under a bluish moon.
