"The Big Bloom" is a hotel located amidst a picturesque landscape of Sakura trees. I aspire to create a unique hotel in the heart of a biophilic urban setting, where guests can experience a dreamlike ambiance during their stay. Given the popularity of flower viewing or "hanami," many visitors would likely choose to stay at our hotel for the chance to appreciate the fleeting beauty of the flowers and enjoy the warm weather. One of the reasons for the popularity of cherry blossom lies in their symbolism. They are said to be like clouds as they bloom all at once and hang above the trees as if to shroud them in mist. Then – just like clouds – they suddenly disappear. Through this, they have come to symbolize ephemerality or transient nature of life. This reflects a longstanding of Buddhist concept in Japanese culture known as “mono no aware,” or roughly, “the pathos of things,” which recognizes both the beauty and mortality inherent in life.
