ART PROJECT
jizakura, the Goddess of Metamorphosis
Jizakura is a generative AI and sound-based project that brings to life the myth of the Blood Cherry Spirit—an original creation blending Japanese folklore, tragedy, and metamorphosis. Rooted in a deep personal connection to Japanese aesthetics, Jizakura tells the story of a sacred tree that blooms in red, born from a forbidden love and a timeless sacrifice.
Through haunting visuals, synthetic music, and evocative character design, the project explores transformation, grief, and revelation under the full moon. The spirit of Jizakura appears as a guide to lost souls—both beautiful and terrifying—inhabiting a liminal world where nature and emotion merge.
Between ritual and rebirth, Jizakura unfolds as an immersive visual and sonic experience—a poetic homage to pain, memory, and the fragile intensity of beauty.
