Japan is a land of rich heritage, blending tradition with modernity in a seamless display of culture and artistry. Among its most cherished symbols of natural beauty is the cherry blossom (Sakura)—a fleeting spectacle that marks the arrival of spring and the beloved tradition of Hanami, the annual celebration of Sakura viewing.
As this year’s Sakura season unfolds, cherry blossoms begin to bloom not only across Japan but also in various parts of the world where these delicate trees have been cultivated. In honor of this ephemeral beauty, Rolls-Royce, in collaboration with a discerning Japanese client, has unveiled a one-of-a-kind Phantom Extended commission—a masterpiece that captures the essence of Hanami in a permanent and breathtaking form.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom ‘Cherry Blossom’: A Tribute to Nature’s Art
Named the Phantom ‘Cherry Blossom’, this bespoke creation encapsulates the fleeting magic of Sakura in an everlasting form. Three years in the making, this commission is a true work of art, showcasing Rolls-Royce’s unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to detail.
At its heart lies a Bespoke Starlight Headliner, which blends the marque’s signature celestial lighting with an intricate, hand-stitched cherry blossom embroidery—crafted with over 250,000 stitches. The embroidery, depicting a delicate cherry bough in full bloom, extends gracefully across the door panels and Privacy Suite partition, brought to life through a sculptural 3D embroidery technique—a first in Rolls-Royce’s history.
Exquisite Details and Elegant Craftsmanship
The Phantom Cherry Blossom’s luxury extends to every detail. The Bespoke umbrellas, discreetly housed within the doors, feature a graceful falling petal motif, further enhancing the theme. The exterior, finished in a sophisticated Crystal and Arctic White color scheme, subtly hints at the opulent interior. A hand-painted coachline, adorned with an elegant cherry blossom motif, provides the perfect finishing touch.
With impeccable craftsmanship, sublime artistry, and a timeless design, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Cherry Blossom commission stands as a breathtaking tribute to Japan’s most iconic symbol of springtime beauty—ensuring that the fleeting charm of Sakura lives on in exquisite permanence.
