Description
| This series is based on the Heian cherry blossom motif! 〜What is Heian Cherry Blossom? In the Heian period (794-1192), aristocrats gradually came to love cherry blossoms as the representative flower of spring. One of the reasons for this is thought to have been the abolition of the Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty in 894. Perhaps the abolition of the Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty in 894 may have been an opportunity for Japanese people to become more familiar with the ancient Japanese cherry blossom, rather than the plum tree, which was introduced from China. The Tale of Genji, a masterpiece of the mid-Heian period, describes a banquet held under the cherry blossoms, and the Kokin Waka Shu, a collection of poems compiled in the early Heian period, contains many poems about cherry blossoms as spring poems. It can be seen that cherry blossoms came to be associated with "the flower symbolizing spring" for the aristocrats of the time. |

〜平安桜とは〜
平安時代に入ると、貴族たちは次第に桜を春の花の代表格として愛でるようになります。これには、894年の遣唐使廃止が一つのきっかけになったとも考えられます。遣唐使廃止を機に日本人は、中国から伝来した梅ではなく、日本古来の桜に対して、より親しみを感じるようになったのかもしれません。桜の下で宴を開催している宮中の様子は、平安時代中期の名作「源氏物語」にも記されており、平安時代前期に編まれた「古今和歌集」でも、春の歌として桜を詠んだ歌がとても多く残されています。当時の貴族たちにとって、桜が「春を象徴する花」としてイメージされるようになっていることがうかがわれます。
