2021 Japan Cherry Blossom 7-pc Set BU

Japan’s 2021 Cherry Blossom Set Is Ready to Bloom in Your Collection

Each spring, Japan celebrates its cherry blossom viewing festival. Known as Sakura, it’s a time of white-and-pink cherry blossoms bursting all across the county and covering the ground underneath the trees like a layer of snow. This is an incredibly important part of Japanese culture, and dates back nearly 1,000 years. The festival takes place all over Japan, with more than 1,000 locations hosting celebrations. At many of these locations, visitors can secure special Cherry Blossom Viewing coin sets from the Japan Mint. And with Japan recording its earliest cherry blossom bloom in 1,200 years, the 2021 festival — and these coins — were a welcome relief from the COVID-19 pandemic. And now we’re making these set available to collectors while supplies last!

Cherry Blossoms in Japanese Culture

The significance for Japan’s reverent devotion to cherry blossoms goes back several centuries. For the Japanese people, cherry blossoms represent the fragility of life — a poignant reminder that life, while very beautiful, is also tragically short. These sets contain the six circulating Japanese coins ranging in denomination from 1-Yen aluminum coin all the way up to the 500 Yen nickel-brass coin. Plus, each set also contains a pure silver medal that features a one-year-only reverse. This year’s design features a cow to mark 2021 being the Year of the Ox. Each set will come sealed in an acrylic holder with a colorful inset depicting vibrant images of Japan’s cherry trees in bloom.

These sets are incredibly difficult to obtain outside of Japan, with only 592 sets allocated for release in foreign markets. Once they’re gone, they’re gone for good! Here’s your chance to obtain the 2021 Japan Cherry Blossom Coin Set. It’s a fantastic addition to your collection of foreign coins!
