Cool Dark Sakura Motif

Despite ranting a little bit in my last post about the cherry blossom themed goods being on sale already in mid February, I do have to admit that this one appeals to me anyway. Somehow in this cascade of endless shades of pink, we wound up with something nice and dark.

I don't know if they're going trying to appeal to the more goth aesthetic or if it's just me, but I really like this as a counterpoint to what we usually see. It's not that I mind the pink. If anything cherry blossom doing time is the one time of year we get to fully embrace pink.... But it's nice to see something different too, isn't it?
