Sakura or a cherry blossom in english. Some romantic japanese drama, anime and manga have a scene Sakura flower. When we see a sakura we will remember to the Japan country. I always wondering is Sakura only in Japan or it also have at China and Korea but with different name.

I think it pretty much grows in other countries as well. It's just that when we hear the word sakura we are more reminded of Japan. I remember a student asked me one time, why do you want to go to Japan? I told him I wanted to go to Japan because I wanted to see how autumn is. He got surprised and said,"It would have been more sensible if you said you wanted to go because you want to see the cherry blossoms."

Yes. They do have a good culture. I look up to them because their place seems really clean and peaceful. I love how creative and free-spirited people are in Japan.

It's special to japanese people probably because it's their natural flower? And the falling petals must make the citizens there feel nostalgic and dreamy. I think sakuras are beautiful, but sort of cliche too. LOL, not that it's a bad thing.

I'm not sure. You should research I notice china has some pink flowery trees like sakura but I think they were magnolia flowers not cherry blossom. Although the flowers might be related?

Hi Aka, Sakura grows in different countries around the world. I found that here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_blossom There are beautiful cherry blossom trees in Washington DC and many other places as well.

It is a beautiful tree. I have no place for one. I already have bushes and very large, old maple trees in my yard. I'm all out of room.
