Why does Japan love Sakura Cherry Blossoms?



Why does Japan love Sakura so much? Why is everyone, including Starbucks, very much obsessed with cherry blossoms?

Have you ever wondered exactly why Japanese people love Sakura cherry blossoms so much? Sure they are really pretty, but besides that, did you ever stop to think whether there was a deeper meaning behind the pink and white flowers? It turns out there is.

Join Tim Bunting The Kiwi Yamabushi as he explains why Sakura came to be the object of affection for many millions of Japanese and non-Japanese around the world alike.

  1. Think i have the same shirt, if you bought it from Uniqlo (which apparently is short for unique clothes, but obviously not). I do like sakura, but autumn is my favorite time in Japan. Although, that 1 or 2 days where it starts raining petals is magic in real life.
