Sakura Petals

Description: 

Sakura, or cherry blossoms, are Japan’s national flower in the hearts of the people. Every spring, throngs of Japanese people and visitors make efforts to see this well-loved flower, a tradition known as “hanami”, a flower-viewing and picnic event to enjoy the blossoms!

This joyful tradition of hanami is an old and ongoing tradition, and can be traced back centuries in Japanese culture. The eighth century chronicle Nihon Shoki records hanami festivals being held as early as the third century AD.

Sakura can be seen widely celebrated in Japanese literature, poetry, and art as well, and carry multi-layered meanings. Since their brilliant blooming season is powerful, glorious, and intoxicating, but short-lived, they are often seen as a metaphor for the ephemeral beauty of living, a visual reminder that our lives, too, are fleeting.
