Given that this is the only time in the series a sakura/cherry blossom tree exists, and it's right in the middle of a death scene, I'm surprised they didn't use the tree for symbolic meaning more than "this tree shows how Eastern traditional this village is."

They could have shown falling petals because of its significance/symbolism in Japanese culture, but nah. I suspect they didn't know the symbolic meaning there.
