Mono no Aware! 🎵Haku Circle #mononoaware #pixelart | dave.xp

Catch them while you can 🌸 ‘Mono no aware’ is a Japanese concept of appreciating the sadness and the beauty of ephemeral things And nothing says ‘fleeting beauty’ quite like cherry blossoms. They’re immortalised here in some Japanese artworks, including a ceramic vase c.1890 and 19th century woodblock prints. The blossom might not last for long, but you can always see breathtaking Japanese art in the Exploring East Asia gallery at the National Museum of Scotland. | National Museums Scotland
