About Sakura (Cherry Blossoms)
The cherry blossoms, known in Japan as sakura, are well known around the world for their radiant, delicate. and transient beauty. However, they are more than simply beautiful trees, as the sakura have powerful ties to Japan’s history, culture and identity. Originally used to divine the year’s harvest, Sakura came to embody Wabi-sabi philosophy and shinto ideals of impermanence, hope and renewal and are now one of Japan’s most iconic natural symbols.
Adding to their magic and mystique, the sakura are usually only in full bloom for around one week. Across the diverse landscape of Japan’s main islands, this magical moment can occur between March to early May. After the brief period of full bloom, the small, round shaped flowers start to flutter gracefully from their trees and the blossoms are said to be the most beautiful in this final stage as the white and pink petals gently float to the ground.
For many Japanese, the blooming of the cherry blossom trees symbolizes human life, transience and nobleness. The Japanese love to celebrate and cherish the cherry blossoms trees during the limited flowering period and many people hold ‘flower watching’ parties known as hanami.
Given the cultural significance of the sakura, there are countless events, festivals, and speciality tours that centred around the blooming of the cherry blossom.
