Create a pixel art illustration of a Japanese samurai, poised in traditional armor with a katana drawn, against a backdrop of cherry blossom trees. The samurai should emanate a sense of stoic honor, with intricate details on the armor and weapon. Use a limited color palette to evoke a nostalgic, retro feel. Incorporate subtle shading to enhance depth and dimensionality. Ensure the composition is balanced, with the samurai positioned centrally amidst the blossoms. Emphasize clean lines and sharp angles to capture the essence of pixel art. The final image should evoke a sense of timeless elegance and reverence for Japanese culture and history.
