The sakuramon (桜紋) is a stylized depiction of a five-petaled [[cherry_blossoms|cherry blossom]]. The tips of the petals often feature an indent.

It is notably used on rank and cap badges of the [[Imperial Japanese Navy]] and all branches of the Japan Self-Defense Forces. It frequently shows up in copyrights with a naval theme. In [[Azur Lane]] it's used as the emblem of the Sakura Empire and appears on many of that nation's characters. It's also seen on several [[Kantai Collection]] characters, where it is often mistaken for a [[kikumon]].
