御衣黄桜という桜がある。江戸時代初期から見らたこの桜は、古来より貴族の衣装に似た、もえぎ色、黄緑色であることから、この名前がついたと言われてる。 遅咲きのこの桜は作者の住む東京港区にも見られ、近くの運河にその花びらが流れる姿をモチーフに製作された。

There is a cherry blossom called the Goeikoh zakura. Believed to have been admired since the early Edo period, this cherry blossom is said to have earned its name because its moegi-colored, yellowish-green hue resembles the attire of nobility since ancient times. This late-blooming cherry blossom can also be found in Minato Ward, Tokyo, where the artist resides. The work was created using the motif of its petals drifting along the nearby canal.
