ChineseTranslationFilter: What does the artwork hanging on my wall say?
I have a home office that I have been building out slowly of the past year. It has a generally Asian decor, and recently I found a piece of artwork that was perfect for the room. It matches the decor perfectly, while also being a subtle nod to my history with Disney (long story). The thing is, I have no idea what it says. I feel foolish having something hanging on my wall that might possibly say "Stupid Americans will buy anything!" I assume it is either Chinese or Japanese. Can anyone here read and translate? Here is a photo of the entire picture, and here is a closeup of the text. Sorry for the oblique angles, it was the only way I could avoid the reflection of a window on the opposite wall.

Are the leaves on those trees really that shade of pink?

Response by poster: Outstanding! Thanks so much!
Yes, the leaves are pink, but they don't pop so much in person. The paint is slightly more reflective so they jump out on the photo far more than they do on the wall.

I think I had one of these done when I was at Disney World as a kid, or something very similar. I think they may have just done my name, though.

Those are not leaves, they're sakura blossoms.

Since it's been translated, I'd like to say that's a beautiful picture.
