The Sakura season starts on April the 1st and ends on April the 10th in the Northern Hemisphere or October 1st to October 10th in the Southern Hemisphere. There is another event Bunny Day which allows you to craft egg items there during this time. Unfortunately, the bloom is floating across our skies for the Bunny Day Event seem to be dominating spawning every few minutes which either makes it difficult to spot other balloons or replaces them altogether. This is of course making it extremely difficult to focus on finding their cherry blossom recipes that can be found in ordinary blooms. There's a simple way around this that we will explain just shortly but first, we'll go over a few tips on what you should be looking for if you're on the hunt for Cherry Blossom DIY recipes:

• 1) Ignoring the special multicolored egg balloons, it seems different colored blooms primarily drop specific items. Blue blooms more often drop crafting materials, green balloons seem to drop clothing items, red balloons drop DIY recipes and yellow balloons tend to drop on bells, so this is a good indication that if you're looking for DIY recipes, you should keep an eye out for red balloons. 

• 2) However it turns out seasonal DIY recipes such as the cherry blossom DIY recipes that are so hard to find can appear in any colored balloons. So first things first if you're searching for Cherry Blossom DIY recipes, hang around on the west beach during the day or the East Beach during the evening and shoot down every single color ordinary bloom that you see. This is your best chance at finding those DIY recipes.
