Sakura no Ki no Shita ni wa

桜の木の下には

A lone figure stands beneath a cherry tree, its branches heavy with blossoms. The scene is quiet, almost serene, but the air carries an unspoken weight. This is a visual interpretation of Motojirou Kajii's classic short story "Under the Cherry Trees," originally written in the early 1900s.

The two-page color side story captures the essence of the original poem, exploring the tension between beauty and decay. The cherry blossoms, often symbols of fleeting life, hide something darker beneath their petals. As the narrative unfolds, the peaceful image gives way to a subtle unease, hinting at the secrets that lie beneath the surface of nature's perfection.
