A social media post by the alleged victim's father last year displayed a tattoo of a cherry blossom on his upper arm as a tribute to a drawing made by his daughter, who was a talented artist.

'Cherry blossom tattoos are a metaphor for the transience of life because they do not live for very long,' the father wrote in his post.

'They are considered to be omens of good things to come. The blossoms serve as emblems for affection and love.'

'Fly high, my angel.'
