Description

I wish to die
In spring, breneath
The Cherry blossoms
While the springtime noon is full.

- Saigyo 

 :iconpettryb:'s sketch during a collab inspired the composition and floral pattern.


Samurai, before they committed the ritual of Seppuku would write a death poem recording their last thoughts before they died.
The different elements in this painting where inspired by traditional Japanese paintings.

Wow!!
That's not at all what I expected it to be, but a lot better! You are amazingly creative and I absolutely love how there are hints of the patterns that were in the sketch, but used to create very different effects. I can think of a lot of symbolism about the moths and death and new life in a form of flowers - not sure of how accurate, I'm not too familiar with samurai traditions, but still. Very powerful and beautifully made picture! Thank you so much for the collab!
