The Kawanishi K-12 Sakura (Cherry Blossom) was a Japanese experimental long-range aircraft of the 1920s intended to be the first aircraft to fly non-stop across the Pacific Ocean. Two examples of the K-12 a single-engined high-winged monoplane were built. As testing showed that its performance was inadequate it was abandoned no attempt being made on the trans-Pacific flight.
