SAKURA (桜)

In china, 櫻花(Yīnghuā) is known as a symbol of love and the female mystique (beauty, strength and sexuality). As the schools start in April instead of September; Children and young population of Japan celebrate 桜 (Sakura) as a symbol of a fresh start of the year. Together with their connection to Buddhism and their old heritage; that part of the world found a deeper lesson in Cherry Blossom which emphasizes few key character or adjective to elucidate life – Transience, Mortal and Beautiful. These features are the reasons which make Sakura or Cherry Blossom so elusive and cherishable. This metaphor is an example of endless knowledge that nature offers every day to inspire the consciousness of every living being and to make it apparent for us to grasp and cherish our existence.
