Cherry
blossoms
The cherry tree holds a special place in the minds and hearts
of Japanese People. The petals of the cherry blossom, which bloom
and scatter out so delicately, brings various good feelings in
the heart of the Japanese. These feelings have always been in
the hearts of Japanse, and can be found in the 31-syllable
Japanese poem (Waka) by the late Oe-no-Masafusa
(1041-1111) of the Heian era. We have incorporated these feelings
into the shirt.
Characters which are wrritten both sides on the shirt are Hyakunin
isshu No.73
Those means
On that far mountain
On the slope below the peak
Cherries are in flower.
Oh, let the mountain mists
Not arise to hide the scene.
