Cherry blossom (sakura) has been a central subject of Japanese art since the Heian period (794-1185). The blossom season lasts only about two weeks, which is why it became a symbol of impermanence and the beauty of transience in Japanese culture -- a concept known as mono no aware (the pathos of things). In the ukiyo-e tradition, Hiroshige and Hokusai both painted cherry blossoms extensively. This diptych brings that tradition into a two-panel composition on Grade-A Canadian maple.
