A cherry blossom blooms in spring and symbolizes growth and prosperity. Hence, this flower has a lot of significance, especially in Japan. The history of the Samurai shows that ancient Samurai used this flower as an emblem of their Bushido code of conduct which preaches loyalty and honor among other virtues. Isn't it interesting how one symbol can have different meanings in different cultures? Since they are interpreted differently, cherry blossom tattoos for girls and guys also differ in meanings, though they are the same!
