Walking on falling cherry blossom
" Catching a falling cherry blossom makes your first love come true."
Cherry blossoms, also known as sakura in Japan, are the small, delicate pink flowers produced by cherry blossom trees.
Cherry blossoms hold elevated status in China, signifying love and the female mystique (beauty, strength and sexuality)
Tied to the Buddhist themes of mortality, mindfulness and living in the present, Japanese cherry blossoms are a timeless metaphor for human existence. Blooming season is powerful, glorious and intoxicating, but tragically short-lived — a visual reminder that our lives, too, are fleeting.
Sakura have therefore always signalled the beginning of spring, a time of renewal and optimism. With the blooming season coinciding with the beginning of the Japanese calendar year, they also bring hope and new dreams at a time. When n cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the future is bursting with possibilities
