To the Japanese, the blossom is representative of the path of life to death. The blossom is beautiful for a short time before it withers and dies, and this is where the comparison is made. It's simply a statement on the fragility of life.

Is there any reason why you can't mix the maple leave and the cherry blossom on a tattoo?

Maple leaves are associated with Canada and the cherry blossom is associated with Japan. So, if you are a Japanese Canadian, this may make sense, but there are probably better representations of your culture available. A tattoo is a very personal thing. If you want to combine symbols that mean something important to you, there is nothing stopping you. I do recommend you work with the artist to get an esthetic pleasing design. First off, in Japanese tatto the maple would be that of a Japanese Maple Tree. The reason you dont usually mix the two in one tattoo is because they serve different purposes. They relate to the different seasons. The japanese maple leaf is more often associated with the fall/winter and the koi fish travels up stream in the fall. It would make sense to have maples leaves with a koi fish tattoo. The cherry blossom is most often associated spring summer and are often incorporated into dragon tattoo pieces.


What is the meaning of falling petals on a tattoo?

depends on the flower species. many people will ink cherry blossom flowers and petals falling from it. in this case it is merely stylistic. it is also a natural process for cherry blossoms to shed. however if the tattoo is a flower that you'd usually pick such as a rose or daisy and the petals are falling, then it might symbolize something more grim.
