Cherry Blossoms (Sakura), Japan: Flash lite 1.1 screensaver

Sakura_flash lite screensaver

Just design a beautiful Flash lite 1.1, Sakura, Screensaver 🙂 .
You can download full version here, have fun.

About Sakura

The cherry blossom (Sakura) is Japan’s unofficial national flower. It has been celebrated for many centuries and takes a very prominent position in Japanese culture.

here are many dozens of different cherry tree varieties in Japan, most of which bloom for just a couple of days in spring. The Japanese celebrate that time of the year with hanami (cherry blossom viewing) parties under the blooming trees.

Japan’s most beloved variety is the Somei Yoshino. Its flowers are nearly pure white, tinged with the palest pink, especially near the stem. The flowers bloom, and usually fall (or “scatter”, 散る [chiru], in Japanese) within a week, before the leaves come out. Therefore, the trees look nearly white from top to bottom.

Its really beautiful flowers 🙂
