Smithsonian Institution Exclusive
Description
The cherry trees around the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., bloom for just a few fleeting weeks—but you can carry their beauty with you year-round. This exclusive cherry blossom brooch captures the delicate elegance of sakura in sculptural, hand-painted flowers and buds, accented with deep red crystals and gold-tone details.
Inspired by the centuries-old Japanese tradition of honoring cherry blossoms through art and adornment, this cherry blossom pin is a wearable tribute to nature's most poetic bloom.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
Museum Story
The National Museum of Asian Art is a global resource for understanding Asian arts, cultures, and societies and their intersection with the United States. Opened in 1923 as the country's first national art museum, it now stewards one of the world's best collections of Asian art, which date from antiquity to the present, from China, Japan, Korea, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Ancient Near East, and the Islamic world (including Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa). The museum also holds an important array of 19th- and early 20th-century American art of the Aesthetic Movement.
