Sakura (桜, 櫻?) Along with the serunium, is a Japanese national flower that blooms in spring, which is around the end of March until the end of June.

Sakura can be seen everywhere in Japan, shown in a wide range of consumer goods, including kimonos, stationeries, and kitchen utensils. For the Japanese, sakura is an important symbol, often associated with women, life, death, as well as a symbol to express the bonds between people, courage, sadness, and joy. Sakura also became a metaphor for the characteristics of life that are not eternal.

The Sakura tree is one of the trees belonging to the familia Rosaceae, a Prunus genus similar to a plum, peach, or apricot tree, but in general sakura is classified in sakura subgenus. The origin of the word "sakura" is the word "pocket" (Japanese for "blooming") plus a suffix that states the plural "ra". In English, Sakura are called "Cherry Blossoms".

The color of flowers depends on the species, some are white with a little pink, light yellow, pink, light green or bright red.

The flowers are classified into 3 types based on the composition of the crown leaf:

  • a single flower with a layered crown
  • double flower with layered crown
  • double flower
