Words - ‘The perfect blossom is a rare thing, you could spend your life looking for one and it would not be a wasted life’, Katsumoto, The Last Sumurai To the Japanese, the Sakura or cherry blossom is a symbol of the ephemeral – a bud that turns into a beautiful flower and then quickly fades and the petals drop to the ground, often the same day. They are reminded that such beauty is not lasting and the beauty only remains in the memory. It is a philosophy that permeates their culture: Beauty that that is one blink away from perfection, a life that is one breath away from death, love that is one kiss away from fulfillment, joy that is one heartbeat away from sorrow. Matsumoto realised in his dying breath that all the cherry blossoms were perfect. A poignant reminder that as we strive for something we rarely realize, we are as we should be; that we are all ephemeral. Inspiration for our new collection ‘Sakura’ - coming soon . . . .
