Ukiyo, the single of Sakura Sketches 2, represents the joy of the moment. The title itself means “floating world”, referring to a Japanese philosophy highlighting the importance of the moment. The moment you are in right now. This very moment that is about to fleet away. It is your choice to be present or miss it forever. We could say “carpe diem”, as in the European literature meaning something similar: live for today. Live for the moment.
I believe in a way, cherry blossom represents a moment of ukiyo. While walking under the cherry trees, enjoying the petals dancing around you in the gentle breeze. A moment you enjoy being there and may never have the same way again. Also, it is the moment we are to forget all our troubles and really enjoy that particular walk. It could be the same while sitting outside, sipping your fave coffee on a sunny day. No rush. No hassle. Pure joy of the drink. I hope Ukiyo single gives you that moment.
