(As he pulls back to strike, the cherry blossoms begin to gather around them. Some of the petals will brush against Nari but they won't hurt him if anything, they appear to just disintegrate on contact, leaving only a warm, light feeling. But the ones that concentrate around the blade, blowing wildly around them as he strikes the tree, will glow with a brighter light. The blade cuts the tree easily-- he's very sharp, you know?-- but there are other, small slashes along the bark and some of the leaves have been cut cleanly. It's pretty clear that the petals are doing the cutting and it looks like it only cuts what he wants them to cut so he has some control there.
At least, Urashima's figured it out more or less,)
