They view this flower differently so it can symbolize different things in each of these cultures. Though, there’s something in common: Chinese and Japanese (as well as other Asians) see a symbol of life in this flower.

In China a cherry blossom is a symbol of love as well as power of femininity. It speaks for sexuality of a woman and her independence. Beyond independence one can understand a new life after the end of relationship and the attempt to acquire lost inner peace and harmony.

In Japan the meaning of a cherry blossom is connected to the Buddhist philosophy that views life as a transitory notion, and all the things that happen in it will pass sooner or later, so it is no sense in getting attached to anything in it.
