Sakura (cherry blossom) Ginger Jar Shaped Vase

This is a signed and dated Sakura vase depicting the stunning cherry blossom in Japan. 
On 23rd March this year Japan announced that the cherry blossom viewing season had started.

the photo of cherry blossom was one I took 35 years ago in Japan!

Hanami (花見, "flower viewing") is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers; flowers ("hana") are in this case almost always referring to those of the cherry ("sakura") or, less frequently, plum ("ume") trees.^[1] From the end of March to early May, cherry trees bloom all over Japan,^[2] and around the first of February on the island of Okinawa.^[3] The blossom forecast (桜前線, sakura-zensen) "cherry blossom front" is announced each year by the weather bureau, and is watched carefully by those planning hanami as the blossoms only last a week or two.

In modern-day Japan, hanami mostly consists of having an outdoor party beneath the sakura during daytime or at night.

It stands 130mm high x 90 mm wide
