'Single Cherry Blossom'

The delicate and ephemeral cherry blossoms titled 'Single Cherry Blossom' evoke a nostalgic atmosphere that heralds the arrival of spring. A single cherry blossom symbolizes the changing seasons, and its beauty resonates deeply in the heart. Through the photo, the gentle melody of spring seems to echo in the ears.

The landscape woven by eriko's sensibility gracefully conveys the arrival of spring to us.
