Potted Cherry Blossom Branches

A row of cherry trees in full bloom is truly a magnificent sight. And you can keep a bit of that splendor on your desk! Branches of cherry blossoms, or sakura, can be cut and potted. Potted sakura branches create a charming and relaxed atmosphere.

Next to the potted branches lie a pen and a brush. The pen is a modern gel pen, modeled after a popular Japanese brand. The brush is a traditional calligraphy brush. Next to the brush is an ink dish filled with black ink.

The modern pen and pot contrast the sakura and calligraphy brush, showing how modern and traditional cultures blend beautifully.
