Beyond each culture’s unique symbolism for the blooms, cherry blossoms generally represent rebirth, renewal, new beginnings, and the start of spring.

Cherry blossoms hold elevated status in China, signifying love and the female mystique (beauty, strength and sexuality), but nowhere in the world are the elusive flowers more cherished than in Japan, home to thousands of cherry blossom trees.

The blooming of the cherry blossom trees is often considered a sign of good luck and prosperity. Notably, the delicate and fragile nature of the flowers reminds us to appreciate life’s beauty and cherish the present moment.
