Around the world the cuckoo has different meanings. In Japan it symbolises longing and unrequited love – two emotions that can come to the fore on Valentine’s Day. In Japanese woodblock prints from the early 1830s right into the twentieth century the cuckoo is often the star of the show, just as they are on designer Nicola Slaney’s limited-edition vase. Unlike in the west where cuckoo song heralds the arrival of spring, in Japan it is associated with the onset of summer, when the sun is a blazing hot disk of red, burning down on a landscape famed for its cherry blossom and bamboo.
