Sakura is the Japanese word for 'cherry blossoms' or 'Japanese cherry tree'. Undoubtedly, it is one of the most important symbols of Japan. In their culture, this native plant marks the beginning of spring and its contemplation is a cause for national celebration.
The great symbolism of cherry blossoms in Japan is rooted in Buddhist and Shinto thought, which are the philosophical and religious foundations of the country.
The Shinto venerates everything that forms the universe in whose creation man has not intervened. Y cherry blossoms embody the supremacy of nature and her wisdom.
The Buddhism contemplates the transience of life. The transience of our existence is reflected in the cherry blossom period.Its flowers fall one or two weeks after budding.
These flowers fall off the tree in the slightest breeze, they do not even have time to wilt. The Buddhist concept of "Mono no aware" is related to that event, it means to have empathy towards all things and their temporality, to have awareness of impermanence of everything.
