Japanese Cherry Blossom Bath and Shower Gel

The Body Shop® difference: Inspired by the natural beauty of the Japanese cherry blossom, or “sakura” as it’s known in Japan, the blossom is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and known as their unofficial flower. Cherry blossom, with its intense beauty, is a symbol of the transience of life, and has had many spiritual and philosophical associations over the centuries. In medieval times, the sakura’s brief blooming and the snow-like flurry of the petals falling at the height of their beauty became a metaphor for life within the samurai warrior code. Those disciplined men, who were continually prepared to sacrifice themselves, lived a life reminiscent of the cherry blossoms, beautiful and brief.
