I'm not one to stomp all over naming ideas, but I'd really advise caution against throwing words together like that.
Sakura, that I know of, would not be a good choice for last name as it's primarily a first name. Unless you have a really good reason for it, I'd look for something else. The best example I can give would be like running into someone named "John Bob." Sure, it can be a last name, but it's very odd.
Japanese surnames, especially Edo period, are more about a person's profession or their village in some way.Â
Kawaguchi - "River entrance"
Yamanaka - "Middle of mountains"
Fujikawa - "Wysteria River"
Honda - "Origin Field"
Kitamura - "Northern Village"
These are good examples of Edo period last names. I'd really recommend taking time and looking through Japanese Edo Surnames a bit closer.
Feel free to PM me or send a note, anything, if you'd like more assistance on it.
Thank you!
