This is a jar created by Nakao Hidezumi.
He soaked traditional papers into blue paint called gosu, and expressed the cherry petals pattern.
We feel something harmoious or peaceful from the sprinkled petals.
"Sakura" is one of the flowers that represent Japan, so it's great as a gift in all seasons.
