“The purpose of sumi-e is not to reproduce the appearance of the subject, but to capture its spirit”
The Cherry Blossom is a collaboration between artist Sylvia Bökkerink and Jacco.
Sylvia practices the age-old tradition of Sumi-E (Japanese-Chinese Ink Painting) but as an artist she is not afraid to step outside the lines of tradition.
The designs of Rikkers Gitaarbouw often color outside the lines and both worlds come together in this instrument made of cherry wood and maple.
A work by Sylvia is united with the wood of the instrument. The 2 accompanying works that did not come on the guitar are included with this artwork.
