Cherry blossoms. Painting

This is an original painting of a cherry blossoms branch, painted with Japanese ink and watercolours on handmade Japanese Awagami paper (90% gampi and 10% wood pulp). The paper has a very natural pale beige colour, the picture doesn't show it well. Japan is famous for its love for traditional paper-making. Centuries-old techniques are maintained to this day. In Japan, the papers from different regions are distinguished by name, just like wine AOC in France. Sketches for this particular painting were done on the streets of Kyoto, when cherry trees were in bloom. Cherry blossoms or sakura are a national flower of Japan. They are very popular and highly symbolic, loved and admired in art and poetry. Sakura symbolise the end of winter, spring, new life, and fleeting beauty. Originally from Japan, the cherry blossom viewing has become a popular custom in many countries. It's very romantic. The painting is my tribute to the beauty of spring and lovely cherry blossoms. The painting is signed, sealed, wet-mounted on backing rice paper and ready to be framed or mounted on a silk scroll. Please use acid-free adhesives when framing. It is manually cut, please leave a few mm error margin for dimensions. Please note that small creases may form due to the nature of the papers. Colours may differ due to difference in devices.
