This is a pre-release original from my upcoming "In Bloom Series" series.
Sakura's blooms serve as a metaphor for the Samura's life - brief but intense, an worth living with honor and valor. Female Samurai would often wear cherry blossoms emblems on their armor/clothing to showcase their courage. Though delicate in appearance, flowers display the strength to endure, persevere, and bloom even in the face of adversity.
