There's no getting away from the fact that this ended as a far more understated adaptation than I had originally intended, and yet ironically it took longer than anticipated!  The more I created and imagined, the further the image became removed from what moved me the most, in what has essentially become an aesthetic fusion of the softness of sakura (blossom) and the painfully humble, traditional Asian beauty of the model in question - Rayn.
