Sakura Season 🌸

The cherry blossom (sakura) is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and appreciation for the natural world. After the brief full bloom, the small, delicate flowers start to flutter gracefully from their trees. The blossoms are said to be the most beautiful in this final stage as the white and pink petals gently float to the ground. 🌸

In Japan, the cherry blossom is honored by festivals and locoals having ‘flower watching’ parties known as hanami. In places like Hirosaki Castle in Aomori the trees are illuminated and petals falling.
