Wow Nard-kun, I can't believe I am seeing this thread just now for the first time. It is the best thread you have ever made. (besides the Japanese Toys, and Samurai History threads) Excellent work! It was very cool of you to make it for the old members. haha!

I don't know if anyone has posted this, but do you guyz know the Legend of Sakyra Trees? And why their flowers and petals are a pinkish colour ??

Well if you don't know, legend has it that ancient Japanese warriors were buried at the foot of Cherry blossom trees because of their beauty and purity. I also think that they are a symbol of rebirth. Or something similar to that.

Anyways, the warriors were buried under the trees, and it is said that the warrior's blood seeped into the tree's roots. The tree absorbed the red blood, and mixed with the petals. The cherry blossoms then turned from a beautiful pure white colour, to a nice shade of pink. That is a legend. It's a good one!!
