What Cherry Blossoms Can Teach Us

The Cherry Blossom: What It Means to Us

We watched cherry blossoms bloom and fall every year since we were young. They’d bloom, scatter in the wind, and just like that, they were gone. Back then it was just something pretty. But over time, it started to feel like something more.

1. It Doesn’t Last Long
Cherry blossoms bloom for maybe a week or two. Then they fall. That’s kind of the whole point. In Japan, they are a reminder that nothing lasts forever. And that’s not sad — it just makes the moment matter more.

2. It Was a Samurai Symbol Too
A lot of people don’t know this, but the samurai saw the cherry blossom as a symbol of their life. Something beautiful and brief. You never know how much time you have, so you live with purpose. That idea stuck with us.

3. People Stop to Notice
During cherry blossom season, people in Japan just… pause. They sit under the trees with friends to eat, drink, and just enjoy the view. It’s not about doing anything big. It’s about being there, while it’s there. That kind of stillness feels rare now.

Why We Made the Cherry Blossom Amulet

This one’s simple. It’s for anyone trying to slow down. To be present. To notice what’s in front of them before it’s gone.
We made it as a small reminder — nothing fancy. Just something to carry when life feels like it’s moving too fast.
