Japanese Cherry Blossom Lantern Earrings

These Cherry Blossom Lantern Earrings are Japanese art-inspired jewelry based on the celebrated cherry-blossom imagery on paper lanterns. With their connection to traditional Japanese landscape art and the beauty of sakura season, they make an elegant museum-quality gift for lovers of Japanese art, nature, and floral jewelry.

Cherry blossoms, or sakura, are the first sign of Spring and are used to decorate many Japanese rice paper lanterns. These lanterns are an integral part of Japanese culture. The 500-year-old Feast of Lanterns,  or Obon, ends with floating illuminated lanterns down rivers.
