In case you don't know, "Sakura" is Japanese for "cherry blossom." The time when Sakura trees are in full bloom is a special time in Japan that only lasts a few weeks. They have festivals around this occasion where they enjoy outdoor barbeques (and get very, very drunk).

Jaivaz requested a sakura tree awhile ago, and I commented on how tall an order it was. Most games with Sakura trees tend to portray them with very big graphics, and aside from that it uses tons of colors.

But in a moment of serendipity, I ran across this graphic in an unlikely place. It was a huge 96x96 pixels, but I shrunk it down to 64x64 and underwent the long process of reducing it to 14 colors.

I recommend combining several of these trees with some falling flower petals on a transparent layer. It would be preeeetty.

*** UPDATE ***

I made an error in my original submission, and I wanted to fix it, but I didn't want to have nothing to show for it so I put together some new stuff.

The first row of trees is the regular versions. The second row of trees is the outlined versions. Outlining didn't work very well with this graphic, but it may look better in some quests.

In this new image, I now have three versions of the tree. The first column is my original version. The second is an altered version of the edit Freedom did for his quest. The third one is Freedom's original Dark World edit, should you for some reason want dry, browning grass.

Note that both of Freedom's versions look the same in ZQuest; you only need to rip the tiles for one. The reason they look different is they use different CSets, which you will need to rip. All three are included in the gif file.

The reason you need custom CSets for these is because Pure simply did not have enough purples to accomodate the extremely colorful blossoms. You may be able to use the CSets from this graphic for a few of the other Pure overworld tiles.

I didn't make the original graphic. It was most likely made by a professional video game designer, but I don't know what game it came from. The original, non-ZC compatible graphic is included in the zip, for the curious.

As it says in the description, the dark-trunked versions of the tree are Freedom's edits.
