Dada

It is said by the Japanese that native cherry blossom inspires mono no aware: a rejoicing in ephemeral beauty, and an untranslatable sense of the pathos of things. As the Japanese poet Otomo no Kuronushi wrote in the 9th century, “Every-one feels grief when cherry blossoms scatter.” That’s the depth of feeling this tree can produce. Fascinated by the underlying meaning of cherry blossoms, the design of this dada poem website uses the gradually color-changing effect, slow-paced animation and scattered layout to convey the Blossom's fleeting nature of life and its heartbreaking quickness.
