In Japan, the tradition of Hanami celebrates the cherry blossoms as they bloom, inviting people to pause and marvel at nature’s delicate beauty. This reverence for life’s ephemeral moments is the inspiration behind a creation that captures the very essence of such a fleeting spectacle, transforming it into something timeless and unforgettable.

In the midst of sakura season, which happens year round during march and april, pink petals can be seen forming soft layers on the ground all around the globe. Their arrival is seen as an ever powerful symbol of both the arrival of a new season and nature taking its toll. Their petals bring together generations of families to celebrate their beauty and their short-lived bloom.

Picture this: a grand, opulent setting where timeless beauty is interwoven with meticulous craftsmanship. This is not just a car; it’s a work of art, an experience that begins the moment you lay eyes on it. Rolls-Royce’s Phantom ‘Cherry Blossom’ commission is an unparalleled tribute to nature’s fleeting beauty, bringing the Japanese tradition of Hanami, the celebration of cherry blossoms in full bloom, into a realm of automotive excellence.

Rolls-Royce Phantom’s newest edition takes into consideration the generations of Hanami celebrations that came before and honours that by sticking true to Japanese embroidery tradition.

Over 250,000 stitches can be found through out the new design and three-dimensional embroidery finding its place for the first time in any Rolls-Royce commission. Phantom ‘Cherry Blossom’ is filled with intertwining layers of embroidery, from sculpted cherry blossom flowers which have been individually stitched to embroidered branches growing throughout the car.

This bespoke commission was created not just for a discerning collector, but for a family. A family who wanted to capture the transient beauty of nature and make it eternal. As the client sought to preserve the ephemeral beauty of the cherry blossom for future generations, Rolls-Royce realized this vision with an artistry that respects the past while embracing the future.

When you step into the Phantom ‘Cherry Blossom’, It’s the embodiment of luxury, the preservation of nature’s beauty, and the pursuit of perfection in every stitch, every thread, every detail. And like all Rolls-Royce creations, it’s timeless. So the question isn’t just about the experience, it’s how deeply the artistry is embedded in every inch of it.
