A Cherry blossom silk tie


A Cherry blossom silk tie; inspired by early Japanese Kimono designs. And, the blooming of the Yoshino cherry trees around the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., which symbolizes the natural beauty of a nation's capital city. The famous trees, a gift from Japan in 1912, signal Washington’s rite of spring with an explosion of life and color that surrounds the Tidal Basin in a sea of pale pink and white blossoms. This ornate floral pattern has been widely used in textile, ceramic and furnishings, on gift cards embroidery and now our own adaptation in a finely crafted silk tie.
