The stunning woodblock print 'Negai no Sakura' (Cherry Blossoms Full of Wishes) is by Kazuyuki Ohtsu. Mr. Ohtsu shared an interesting story about this artwork, which beautifully recounts a romantic tale. The location depicted—Fukushima Prefecture, where the cherry blossoms stand—was featured as a meeting place for couples in the Japanese movie 'First Love'. After meeting there, couples would wish for happiness together, making this cherry tree a popular spot for lovers. Mr. Ohtsu aimed to capture the warm, romantic atmosphere surrounding this tree.
