Hokusai White Trees Bangle

This design uses black ink for the outlines instead of blue, making the contrast between the pale pink of the blossoms and the blue of the water and sky all the more striking. Goten-yama, on the outskirts of Edo, was one of the most popular locations in the city for cherry blossom viewing parties, not only because of the beauty of the flowers but because of the spectacular view of the bay behind them and Mount Fuji in the distance.
