What do japanese cherry blossoms symbolize?
The Japanese, however, say that since the cherry blossom lasts only for a short time, it represents the transitory phase of life. This concept is related to the roots of Buddhism and means that nothing in life is permanent. Change is the only constant and so, we should not be too depressed with anything in life. The fallen cherry blossom is considered as the life of a warrior who passed away before his time in a war.
