I don't know what it is, but it's NOT a sakura flower.

For starters, sakura have five petals.

Also, each sakura petal has an indentation at the end, like so

*shrugs* Looks like a stylized one that has been drawn wrong to me. Plus, they are a flower that is used quite frequently in anime.

[history_nazi]

it just looks like a generalized idea of a flower.

In botany terms the flower would be a monocotyledon (# of leaves = multiple of 3, and other features you can't see here.)

Maybe it's quince?
