Sakura Cherry Blossom Birth Announcement
















A NEW ADDITION to my baby birth announcements section on Etsy.

I've taken my Cherry Blossom (sakura) design and designed a modern yet elegant birth announcement. Appropriate for a sweet new baby girl.

Symbolism of the Sakura:
"In China, the cherry blossom is a symbol of feminine beauty. It also represents the feminine principle and love in the language of herbs. In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolize the transience of life because of their short blooming times. They have also come to represent clouds of their nature of blooming en masse. Falling blossoms are metaphors for fallen warriors who died bravely in battle. This connotation links them with the samurai."
