VANITAS
My series about MEMENTO MORI isn’t finished yet, I’m now back on tumblr, sorry for leaving, but sometimes you need to take a break and breath.
I love this one because it reminds me that beauty is like flowers. It withers. You shouldn’t love for appearance, everything seems so superficial in this world. I like to stop and stare and know people for who they really are and appreciating small and simple things in life.

This character is a combination of 木 tree and 古 old. Here 古 is a phonetic element signaling the on’yomi. Some say that 古 developed from the image of a skull, giving it a meaning of something hard and old. It is likely lending that connotation here, giving 枯 a meaning of an old, hard, dried up tree. This then symbolizes “decaying” and “withering” in a more general sense.
