The cherry is called in the Japanese language "sakura". from the name of Princess Kono-hana-sakuya-Hime, who is enshrined on the top of Mt. Fuji. This princess was so named because, it is said, she dropped from heaven upon a cherry tree. Hence, the cherry blossom is considered to be the national flower of Japan.
