Sakura agate carries the soft pink of cherry blossom — and with it the ancient philosophy of mono no aware, that tender, bittersweet awareness of the impermanence of all things that lies at the heart of Japanese aesthetic sensibility. Each spring, the Japanese people gather beneath the cherry trees for hanami — the contemplation of blossoms — at once a celebration of beauty and a meditation on its passing. The blossom is most beloved precisely because it does not last. Sakura agate carries this teaching in its very patterns — each bead a small, complete world of colour and form that will never be repeated, asking only to be seen, appreciated and worn with joy.
