The Symbolism and Flower Language of Cherry Blossoms Explained
The life of a cherry blossom is very short. There is a folk saying: “cherry blossoms last 7 days,” meaning that a single cherry blossom takes about 7 days from opening to withering, and the entire tree takes about 16 days from blooming to fully fading, creating the characteristic of blooming and falling at the same time. It is precisely this trait that gives cherry blossoms such great charm. It is not only because of their charming beauty, but more importantly because of their “heroic” manner of withering immediately after a brief brilliance.
Some people even believe that life is short, and that one should live as brilliantly as a cherry blossom, and even in death, one should leave decisively. When cherry blossoms fall, they are unstained and unsoiled, very crisp and clean.

Cherry blossoms are passionate, pure and noble. After the harsh winter, they are the first to bring the breath of spring to the Japanese people. Every year from March 15 to April 15 is Japan's “Cherry Blossom Festival.” When the flowers bloom, people bring wine and food and sit on the ground under the cherry trees, enjoying the blossoms while drinking freely - truly one of life's great pleasures. “If you would ask about the Yamato spirit, look at the mountain cherry beneath the morning sun.” Japanese people believe that life is short, and that one should live as brilliantly, purely and beautifully as a cherry blossom, and even in death, one should leave decisively. When cherry blossoms fall, they are unstained and unsoiled, very crisp and clean, and are revered as the symbol of the Japanese spirit. Japanese people not only admire cherry blossoms but also eat them; their cherry blossom ice cream has a distinctive flavor.
