A cherry blossom for Piccinelli is both the announcement of spring and the promise of harvesting fruit during the summer. A large cherry tree blooms each spring in the painter's garden. This abundant and joyful flowering; the painter contemplates it through a large horizontal bay window and it is as if the landscape and beyond; the world; has become a cherry tree in blossom.The title precisely refers to a text in the form of a haiku composed by the Japanese poet Ryôkan.His daily life adapts to the seasons: on sunny days; he walks; goes to see his many friends and begs for his food; in winter; he stays at home and reads; writes; meditates. The poems of the Mad Monk is back trace this life in harmony with Nature; praises daily gestures; a simple and full life because empty of useless desires. Ryôkan is a man who seems to adapt as much to solitude as to evenings drinking sake with his scholarly friends.
