Symbolism In The Art Print
In the Compassion Art Print, three cherry blossoms on a branch represent the stages of life: a new bud for youth, a half-open blossom for mid-life, and a fully opened blossom for later years. The sundial symbolizes our limited time on earth. The fallen cherry blossom reminds us that we all face struggles and need help at times.
There is no direct single-word translation for “compassion” in Japanese. The closest concepts are sympathy and mercy, and the kanji for mercy is used in the image.
