永遠の桜、
風に舞う花びら、
時を超えた美しさが咲く。

Eternal Sakura,
Petals dancing in the wind,
Timeless beauty blooms.

The fleeting beauty of Sakura (cherry blossom) flowers lies in their short-lived bloom, which typically lasts only a week or two. This brief period of full bloom, known as "mankai," is followed quickly by the petals falling, symbolizing the transient nature of life. This ephemeral beauty is celebrated in Japanese culture, often inspiring reflection on the impermanence and fragility of existence, making the sakura a poignant reminder to cherish the present moment.
"Everlasting Sakura" captures the fleeting beauty of the Sakura in a moment that lasts forever.
