Shizue Ishiwata is one of the winners of People's Bead 2013 and designed Sakura for the Traditional Sayings Collection.

“For People’s Bead I designed the beautiful Japanese cherry tree. In Japan, a cherry tree is used by the news of the announcements of test results of a university. A cherry tree blooms at the time of a good notice.“
