Comments of Under The Sakura Tree

not bad…but should’ve been more

Yeah no, im sorry my guy but i think his lungs aren't functioning properly anymore

A manga based off a famous poem about dead bodies under cherry blossom trees, or else where else will they get their beauty indeed.

Not so much a one-shot as a two-page tribute to a famous line from a poem. It's worth your time (an easy thing to say for something that will take all of a minute to read) but sweet with a nice use of color.

Whoa...says so much in so little space.

Historical // Showa Era // Poetic // Based on a classic

Based on the classic "Under the Cherry Trees" by Motojirou Kajii (early 1900s). Two full color pages, created by Miyamoto Kano, which emphasize the poetic concept of what lies behind the beauty of cherry blossoms. A japanese saying that I have heard many times indeed and that I encountered in other stories: "Cherry blossoms are so beautiful because there are dead bodies buried underneath the trees"

Very short tribute by Miyamoto-sensei, but so beautiful!

Morbidly beautiful!
