Cherry Blossom

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 528.9 Hz, 19 cents sharp of C5. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

Tap it to shake down the blossom. Hands-on: shake the trunk; petals flutter down.

Cherry trees flower in spring, covering their bare branches in clouds of pale pink blossom before the leaves come out. In Japan, where the blossom is called sakura, people gather under the trees for picnics to enjoy it, a custom called hanami, which means "flower viewing."

Tap it and every blossom drops in a flurry of petals that settle on the grass, then the bare branches bloom again. Pick a Seed in the Splash tab for a differently shaped tree. The blossom only lasts a week or two, which is part of why people treasure it. With ✋ Hands-on on, shake the trunk and the petals flutter down.
