A cherry blossom is the name for the flower of cherry trees known as Sakura in Japanese. The cherry blossom holds much symbolism within Japan. According to the Buddhist tradition, the breathtaking but brief beauty of the blossoms symbolizes the transient nature of life. The flowers last for at most a few weeks, but during that time, both the mountains and the cities are full of the delicate pink flowers, be the trees wild or cultivated. "The traditional Japanese values of purity and simplicity are thought to be reflected in the form and color of the blossoms." (Osamu, 1983) The cherry blossom is also tied with the samurai culture, representing the fleeting nature of the samurai's life and symbolic of drops of blood.
