The movie's title is a reference to the rate at which cherry blossoms fall to the ground during the spring period in Japan. Cherry blossoms are also to do with the time spent by romantic couples during the cherry viewing of the month, though if Japanese period dramas are anything to go by, to the samurai they also signified the heartache they would go through in life through to death.
