This is the Cerasus sato-zakura ‘Albo-rosea’ Makino, commonly known as the Fugenzo cherry. In Japanese, Fugenzo translates to 'the elephant ridden by Samantabhadra,' a name given because the flower's pistils resemble an elephant's trunk.
Like the Ichiyo cherry, the Fugenzo cherry is a member of the sato-zakura (village cherry) group. They are siblings that share the same mother species, the Oshima cherry, and both display a beautiful range of pink hues inherited from her. Another striking feature shared by the Fugenzo and Ichiyo cherries is their multi-petaled blossoms, which give both trees an incredibly gorgeous and full appearance.
