Sakura is a 2 column, widget-ready Wordpress theme created by the guys from area381. The name “Sakura” which means Cherry blossom in Japanese, is a fitting name for this spring inspired theme.
Instead of the standard Hello World post, we decided to give you a gift. Today is the first day of spring and we prepared a special gift to all Wordpress users – a new, free Wordpress theme with spring motives.
Screenshot:
My Take:
Sakura’s design is very simple but elegant looking. It uses a spring motive and has a feminine look to it, so this theme is basically for the ladies. This is one of the best looking Wordpress themes I’ve seen in a while. I give the Sakura theme a 4.5 out of 5. To the guys at area381, great job!
Sakura was developed for newer versions of Wordpress (2.1 and above) which makes use of the language_attributes() function. So if you’re running an older version of Wordpress, you either upgrade your installation or remove the < ? php language_attributes(); ? > line from the header.php file to avoid having errors.
Future plans for the Sakura theme includes a 3 columned version. So watch out for it.
Preview or Download the Sakura theme.

@ash – I see. I didn’t know that since I’m not an avid fan of Naruto. Change theme again? It’s tiring and time consuming but fun! :D
@Grace – Hello! Yup, simple but neat design. I guess you and ash would have the same theme then. Hehe :D

Hi Kuya Jaypee,
Oo nga ang ganda ng pagkaka design nang sakura theme. Next time na ako magpapalit ng theme, at yung theme na gagamitin ko yung 3 columned version nyan.

nice theme. Sakura is one of the main characters in Naruto. Sakura fans should have this one. I’ll wait for the 3 column theme and see if I will change my Naruto theme again… Whew!

@Clawy – Yeah, it’s really a nice theme for ladies. You really should get back to blogging! I can help set it up for you and I’ll use this theme. How’s that? :)
@jhay – True. There are a lot of beautiful themes out there that many bloggers don’t even know about. Some of them are not listed in Themes.Wordpress.Net.

It’s a beautiful theme. Too bad I just don’t see that much blogs that use this theme. Personal blogs would be best using this theme.
