The Japanese people’s “passion” for cherry blossoms is “super” special.。This kind of "abnormality" is perceived as normal by ordinary Japanese people (including myself).、The starting point of this abnormality may be the "elementary school cherry blossoms"、I think that's what many people have said.。as far as I know、I have never seen a school without cherry blossoms in the schoolyard.。Even if there is something like a "digital elementary school" that does not exist in real space,、There must be a cherry blossom somewhere on the screen.、I even think。
Furthermore, the timing of flowers。Many major events in childhood often involve school.。Among them, admission、Graduation gives children a special meaning as well.。There are always cherry blossoms in the background。The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred in March.。Cherry blossoms in full bloom immediately after the earthquake、Because of its freshness, it brought tears to many Japanese people rather than joy.。Cherry blossoms are not just flowers、It is also a symbol with deep feelings.。That's what、Making it even more difficult to draw cherry blossoms as objects。
In that sense、Almost 100% of people、I seem to remember drawing (or being forced to draw) cherry blossoms once.。And more than 90% of them、How should I draw it (other than just painting it pink)?、You must have had a troubled experience。The same complex I felt when I was in elementary school has remained with me forever.、I still can't resolve it。Besides,、As a landscape, it is too ordinary and it is difficult to find a new perspective.。Compared to my love for cherry blossoms、There are rather few pictures of cherry blossoms in public exhibitions.、I think that's probably the reason。
