Sakura symbolizes impermanence. Impermanece is one of the three seals of the Buddhist Dharma(teaching). If a teaching does not include impermanence it is not Buddhist. The implications are philosophically far reaching.

It's a nice thought, and a nice image. Cheers.
that picture is really beautiful.
Amon-What are the other two seals?
tin- it is huh? I kept looking at photographs and there are some pretty one out there,but this piece just struck me.
Os- Hey boy! I liked it myself.
the other two are Dukkha(suffering or unsatisfactoriness) and Anatman(not-self or insubstantiality).
