Bravo! Hugh
Have a look at Sc. 2850e. A commemorative from February 2003.
Had stumped me as well, 
Found the stamp image in 20 seconds, but no information along with it.
ebay Japan 80y Cherry Blossoms offered nothing.
I gave up.
Top set

Hi Hugh
thank you very much Scott has it listed as 2002 but there it is same number on a commemorative sheet page, no single spot to put it. So here is when Japanese collecting becomes rather painful. All of the sheets issued, and few if any chances to place stamps into a single spot all are assumed by Scott to be collected as a sheet which means collecting many expensive sheets rather than single stamps. I decided to stop my collection around 2012 because of the huge number of new issues but quite a bit before that comes this issue of the sheets.
thank you very much for finding it for me.
i had been looking mostly for single issues. I have resorted to posting the sheet stamps on the page with the sheet but around the edges. I really doubt i will have a chance to afford to get all of the sheets, but i do very much appreciate this find
Cheers and thank you very much
Chris

Stanley Gibbons has the set listed as Greetings Stamps, SG 3097-3106, self-adhesive from 2003. With Cherry Blossom being SG 3106.

Hi Daniel
thanks a lot that was very nice of you to give that info. I use Scott as it is what i grew up with ages ago but should check out Stanley Gibbons too may be a better system as Scott does strange things with the order of stuff
thanks much appreciate the help!

Or here, in English and relatively informative:
So-called "Greeting" issues are quite difficult to locate, as they are not a mainstream category of commemoratives. So this site puts them to "Other stamps" category, being listed with definitives. JSCA and Sakura catalogues also list the "Greeting stamps" separately.
