Spring ornaments: Cherry blossoms, Bird cherry blossoms and Japanese white-eyes, Japanese paper interior decoration

A white-eye sits quietly on a branch of blooming cherry flower lover, nestled close to the tree. This ornament was created with the soft, spring-like atmosphere in mind, making use of the gentle colors of Japanese paper. The cherry blossoms are modeled after the mountain cherry blossoms (yamazakura) that dye the mountains a faint pink in spring, and are made from Japanese paper to give them a pale and ephemeral appearance, yet with a strong presence. It is compact and easy to display, and will add a gentle and warmth to the atmosphere of your room or living room as you welcome your new life into spring. In addition, various types of Japanese paper are used for coloring, allowing you to enjoy the soft colors and texture unique to Japanese paper. This piece was created with the idea of creating "interior goods that tell a story." We hope you will enjoy the gentle expression of the white-eye and the gently opening cherry flower lover and imagine your own stories. ~About the specifications of the work~ ●Materials: Japanese paper, stone powder clay, wire, varnish (*After coloring with Japanese paper, it is finished by applying a waterproof varnish that is waterproof for daily life.)

The colours of each piece are decided based on the actual motif of the piece, and are chosen from over 130 different types of washi paper, with the most suitable being chosen. We strive to recreate the beauty, cuteness, and uniqueness of the real thing as faithfully as possible, while taking advantage of the gentle colors and texture that only Japanese paper can provide, in order to create works that are even better than the real thing. In this work, both the bird and the cherry blossoms are colored and produced using the colors of the Japanese paper itself. The white-eye is made by layering green washi paper with other colored washi paper pasted on top of it to express the green gradation of its feathers.
