"Cherry blossom pink"

Hello, it's been a while. This is Akiyama from the Nakameguro store. 

The long winter is over and spring has finally arrived. The cherry blossoms along the Meguro River, which flows in front of Layout , began blooming on the 23rd and are expected to reach full bloom between this weekend and next week. 

The sight of the flowers drooping into the sparkling waters of the Meguro River, their pale pink color spreading across the sky, is truly breathtaking. The sight of the flowers gradually fluttering down onto the river like flower rafts is quite picturesque. 

Cherry blossoms that move our hearts so much 

This time, we will introduce some tribal designs that will make you want to take them along to the cherry blossom viewing.
This is a Baluchi rug that is both cute and cool. 

It's a traditional pattern, but at this time of year it starts to look like cherry blossoms, which is strange. 

It has shining pistils and stamens. 

The navy jagged and striped motif that surrounds it resembles a flowing river. 

And above all, the colors are lovely. The use of pink as well as red is charming. 

So, there's a question that has come up in my mind from time to time: "How many colors are there?" Of course there are an enormous number of reds, but how many shades of pink are there ? 

As Ambika-san said,
" There are 200 shades of white"
She also added, "I'm sure there are 200 shades of pink! Maybe even more 💕 lol." 

However, under normal circumstances, they can distinguish a whopping 1,875,000 colors . And under the best conditions, they can apparently distinguish up to 7.5 million colors, which means that pink must be one of them! That's an incredible number, isn't it?

It is said that there are 600 varieties of cherry blossoms in Japan , and it's exciting to think that there are already that many pink varieties.

Only one color! Who saw which cherry blossom and decided on this color ?

 This cool rug is woven with a mix of red and pink, and the short, trimmed fringe is also a subtle pink color. 

The weave is finely woven, flexible, and just the right thickness, so it can be folded compactly or rolled up and carried around. Just one piece to accompany you to your cherry blossom viewing party will help create the ultimate atmosphere!

Of course, it also protects you from the cold from the ground, so you can kill two birds with one stone and enjoy delicious cherry blossom viewing sake to your heart's content without worry.

So, when you prepare for cherry blossom viewing this year, be sure to bring a rug and enjoy a wonderful spring time!
