Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has unveiled the Phantom Cherry Blossom, a one-of-a-kind Phantom Extended commission created for a Japanese client inspired by the fleeting beauty of Sakura. The commission captures the emotional depth of Hanami, the centuries-old tradition of cherry blossom viewing, and reflects the client’s cherished memories from childhood to parenthood.
The cherry blossom, or Sakura, holds deep cultural significance in Japan, symbolising the rhythms of nature, renewal, and the transient beauty of life. This philosophy forms the core of the Phantom Cherry Blossom, envisioned as a legacy piece to be passed down through generations.
The project began three years ago with Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke artisans working closely with the client in Japan to understand their vision. The result is an extraordinary expression of artistry and cultural reverence, now delivered to its custodian in Japan.
