Sakura-Iro

Wherever I am, every time I find a cherry blossom, I always look up the tree. It might be my habit or just Japanese people's habit.

There is the traditional colour of Japan. It is traditionally used in Japanese textiles, literature, arts and crafts. And the names of colours originate from elements of nature, like flowers, plants and animals. For example, 'Sakura-iro' is one of the pinks, meaning cherry blossom colour. It's a lovely system, isn't it? I like those Japanese delicate colour expressions.

Some photos have arrived from Japan. It's cherry blossom season. They are so beautiful, aren't they?
