There&#x27;s a certain beauty behind transient moments. It follows a separate line of thinking than that of people used to keeping digital archives of their lives.<p>The Japanese cherry blossoms are a bittersweet moment during the spring. People go flower-watching (花見) to admire the beauty and it is a happy time.

They would become commonplace and ignored.<p>Not everything needs to live on forever - and some things would &quot;suffer&quot; if they did.
