cherry blossoms
Small flowers of any of several trees of the genus Prunus, especially the Japanese Cherry (Prunus serrulata, the suffix a Latin rendering of sakura). Usually seen falling or scattered as petals.
Cherry blossoms, especially the pink ones of the Prunus serrulata, are a significant visual motif in Japanese culture; as their period of flowering that lasts little more than a week during the spring is thought to symbolically convey an awareness of the brilliant, yet impermanent nature of life. The term mono no aware (物の哀れ, literally 'the pathos of things') was coined by 18th century scholar Motoori Norinaga to describe this concept as a theme found in classical Japanese literature, and associated it with the cherry blossom motif.
The white-colored autumn and winter blossoms (冬桜, fuyuzakura) of the higan cherry tree (Prunus subhirtella autumnalis) are a notable variant, coming into bloom during those seasons.
In anime and manga, besides straightforward symbolization of youth and verve, the symbol may be used to denote gentle and/or affectionate characters; though this usage can sometimes be ironic.
In Touken Ranbu, cherry blossoms indicate that a character has a buff.
Cherry trees in anime art are almost always drawn in bloom, but the actual cherries don't grow until the blossoms are long gone. For images of cherry trees bearing fruit, search for cherry fruit_tree.
Distinguished from plum blossoms in that cherry petals have slits at the ends of the petals. Plum petal ends on the other hand are round (see reference).

樱花，尤其是李子乳木的粉红色，是日本文化中的重要视觉图案。由于他们在春季持续一周持续一周的开花时期被认为可以象征性地传达了人们对生命的辉煌而无常本质的认识。 18世纪学者Motoori Norinaga创造了单声道一词（从字面上看，“事物的悲伤”），将这一概念描述为古典日本文学中发现的主题，并将其与樱花图案相关联。
Higan Cherry Tree（Prunus subhirtella autumnalis）的白色秋季和冬季花朵（冬桜，fuyuzakura）是一个显着的变体，在这些季节中散发出盛开。
在动漫和漫画中，除了直接的青年和ver象象征外，该符号还可以用来表示温柔和/或亲切的角色。尽管这种用法有时可能具有讽刺意味。
动漫艺术中的樱桃树几乎总是在盛开，但是直到盛开早已消失，实际的樱桃才生长。对于带有水果的樱桃树的图像，请搜索樱桃果_tree。
与李子花朵不同，樱桃花瓣在花瓣的末端有缝隙。另一方面，李子花瓣末端是圆形的（请参阅参考）。
