Weeping Sakura Bonsai

The Cherry Blossom (or Sakura), the national flower of Japan, represents a time of renewal and optimism. The pops of pink mark the ending of winter and signify the beginning of spring. Due to their quick blooming season, cherry blossoms also symbolize the transience of life, a major theme in Buddhism.

Cherry blossoms are a symbolic flower of the spring, a time of renewal, and the fleeting nature of life. ... Their life is very short. After their beauty peaks around two weeks, the blossoms start to fall.
