Description Konohanasakuya-hime; (cherry) tree blossom blooming princess and sometimes written in short as Sakuya-bime. In Japanese mythology, she is known to be the blossom princess and the symbol of delicate earthly life while also being the goddess of Mount Fuji and all the volcanoes. She is often considered to be the avatar of Japanese life and is represented by the cherry blossoms or sakura flowers. 

And finally got around to getting this done! A gift for my lovely wife to complete our matching icon set!  

I wanted to do something in terms of opposite in looks from my icon and something in which interests Cat the most, so after doing a bit of texting and lots of research, I came across this lovely deity! I felt she best represented for lots of reasons and well, it seems to fit especially in the theme that she also gets to keep the flower crown~ c: 

Hope you like this hun!

Oh wow is she ever so beautiful!!! I love all of the delicate features in her headdress, and her face is so pretty and serene  SERIOUSLY looks like she was made with pastels!

damnnn it is soo sweety ;w;
also both deities you chose, for you and for your partner have something equal on their powers, just that Xipe is really badasse crude XD
Sakuya is real delicate goddess
but is really lovely her face, her details as a japanese deity
and as well the colors you used to her, so warm and so lovely, Sakuya is surely loved by every single human >3

njksdnfdsbf sdfs daww gosh thank you so much! ;W;  

There was a lot of time in research of looking into seeing which one would work best to put for them to be put together and this one popped out the best! Though I do agree, Xipe Totec is a total badass >D <3 

And I'm glad the contrast between the two shows as well! ;W; It makes me very happy to hear this! And yes, she is x3

OMIGODDDDDDDDDDDD, I LOVE ITTTTTTTT She's so PRETTY, I LOVE ITTTTTT. Thank you so much, babe! I vaguely know about Sakuya-bime, but not a whole lot, so I'll def have to research up on her now!! 

God, I love her headdress so much! It's so intricate, but simplistic at the same time! I LOVE ALL OF ITTTTT

I'm so happy to hear you like it, babe!    I'll be honest, this was HARD. And I mean hard to look for a deity that would best fit you and our icon set, but I am so happy I was able to find her! I like, really think she stuck out the most compared to everyone else cause she just seems most to fit you and your liking! Plus, keeping that flower crown for the win :'D But still, ndjsndbahfbahbda I AM SO HAPPY

I LOVE IT! heart:

I can understand, there are a LOT of Japanese deities, so combing through all of them and finding the perfect one had to be a pain in the butt and a huge amount of time! I really like the juxtaposition of our two icons, though! Not just in powers and appearance of the two, but also in the colors! Yours is very bright when it comes to colors, whilst this one is more muted!

GOD I LOVE FLOWER CROWNS SO MUCH You know me well!

bhabfhjabhee I AM SO HAPPY ;3;3;3;3;3;

It really was a tedious task, but definitely worth it finding the right one for you! She really did come out of nowhere right when I was about to give up and call quits so I am glad to have found her through my constant searching xD :'D Oh gosh, I never noticed that part though! This really worked out well then!  

OH YIS My flower crown queen Or should I say, Flower Crown goddess ewe
